The essence is, what can we do next? And will it be good?
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
As stylists, we're groundshakers and daymakers. I was always in hair.
Vidal Sassoon
I came home after a year and although my profession was only hairdressing, I knew I could change it.

Vidal Sassoon
Everything about morality and obligations I owe to football.
Vidal Sassoon
It's okay saying sorry, but when you are drunk you say what you really feel.

Hairdressing in general hasn't been given the kudos it deserves. It's not recognised by enough people as a worthy craft.
Vidal Sassoon

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
My mother left me for seven years in an orphanage.
Vidal Sassoon
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
To sculpt a head of hair with scissors is an art form. It's in pursuit of art.
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
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
I think that as good architecture enhances a city, a good cut enhances the definition and expression of a face.
