Capri on the Amalfi Coast in Italy is my ultimate holiday destination.
Vidal Sassoon
It's not recognized by enough people as a worthy craft.

To me hair dressing means shape. It's very important that the foundations should be right.
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
During the late '20s my father left us. My mother was in a complete hole with no money, and we were evicted.
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.'

If someone were to ask me, 'What's the number one thing, in essence, that you left behind?'... it was the teaching of others, so that they could take my work and take it further.
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.

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
Hair is another name for sex.
Vidal Sassoon
Everything about morality and obligations I owe to football.
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
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
If you get hold of a head of hair on somebody you've never seen before, cut beautiful shapes, cut beautiful architectural angles and she walks out looking so different - I think that's masterful.
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
You never argued with my mother. You couldn't win.
Vidal Sassoon
To sculpt a head of hair with scissors is an art form. It's in pursuit of art.
Vidal Sassoon
Hairdressing in general hasn't been given the kudos it deserves. It's not recognised by enough people as a worthy craft.
