More quotes by Vidal Sassoon
My mother left me for seven years in an orphanage.
Vidal Sassoon
When the doubters tell you it can't be done and all kind of tragedies will come your way, I say nonsense. If you can get to the very root of who you are and make something happen from it, my sense tells me you are going to surprise yourself.
Vidal Sassoon
You must always do what you feel is right.
Vidal Sassoon
I'm a great jazz fan.
Vidal Sassoon
Hair is another name for sex.
Vidal Sassoon
A working woman could save a few shillings a week, and then every five weeks she'd come in and we'd cut her hair. She could shampoo it under the shower, swing it and dry it off or just let it dry by itself. It changed the lives of many young girls who'd never had the opportunity to be styled like that before.
Vidal Sassoon
For nine years I worked to change what was hairdressing then into a geometric art form with color, perm without setting which had never been done before.
Vidal Sassoon
Everything about morality and obligations I owe to football.
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

Vidal Sassoon
You never argued with my mother. You couldn't win.
Vidal Sassoon
I kept thinking I would be spending my life up to my elbows in shampoo.
Vidal Sassoon
I think that as good architecture enhances a city, a good cut enhances the definition and expression of a face.
Vidal Sassoon
To sculpt a head of hair with scissors is an art form. It's in pursuit of art.
Vidal Sassoon
Hairdressers are a wonderful breed. You work one-on-one with another human being and the object is to make them feel so much better and to look at themselves with a twinkle in their eye.
Vidal Sassoon
Most people have excellent necks. Now they cover them with curtains, which is kind of ridiculous. But there are some beautiful necklines that you can cut into and create wonderful backs, as well as bone structure for the face.
Vidal Sassoon
I was all about my thoughts, my work, my inspiration. I was always in hair.
Vidal Sassoon
I was a bit of a rebel.
Vidal Sassoon
For me the working of hair is architecture with a human element.
Vidal Sassoon
From my point of view, there is a tremendous amount to be said for secular humanism.
