More quotes by Vidal Sassoon
To me hair dressing means shape. It's very important that the foundations should be right.
Vidal Sassoon
My greatest regret is selling my company.
Vidal Sassoon
We learned to put discipline in the haircuts by using actual geometry, actual architectural shapes and bone structure. The cut had to be perfect and layered beautifully, so that when a woman shook it, it just fell back in.

Vidal Sassoon
My idea was to cut shape into the hair, to use it like fabric and take away everything that was superfluous.
Vidal Sassoon
I'll never forget one morning I walked in and I had a hell of a bruise - it had been a difficult night the night before - and a client said to me, 'Good God, Vidal, what happened to your face?' And I said, 'Oh, nothing, madam, I just fell over a hairpin.'
Vidal Sassoon
Like most ghetto kids I knew it was important to be 'somebody' so I became a good soccer player, because excelling at a sport seemed to make you special.
Vidal Sassoon
Realizing our society as it is, without theology dogmatically telling us how we should react to it, and being humane toward that society, that is all that we're sure of.
Vidal Sassoon
I just consider being one of the luckiest people in the sense that creativity came to me and it flowed.
Vidal Sassoon
My mother had a premonition and she felt that hairdressing would be very very good for me.
