More quotes by Vidal Sassoon

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
To me hair dressing means shape. It's very important that the foundations should be right.

During the late '20s my father left us. My mother was in a complete hole with no money, and we were evicted.
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 think that as good architecture enhances a city, a good cut enhances the definition and expression of a face.

My mother left me for seven years in an orphanage.
Vidal Sassoon
As stylists, we're groundshakers and daymakers. I was always in hair.
