Vidal Sassoon
Image
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
Image
For me the working of hair is architecture with a human element.
Vidal Sassoon
Image
Hair excited me. As the old ways - backcombing, rollers and rigidity - went out of the window, I started to feel the possibilities in front of my eyes.
Vidal Sassoon
Image
I think that as good architecture enhances a city, a good cut enhances the definition and expression of a face.

Image
If you have a sense of style and purpose and will you don't want to compromise.
