More quotes by 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
Beauty is.. The passionate and positive expression of the complete self.
Vidal Sassoon
There were so many pretty girls coming into the salon as clients, and others working in the salon. And I thought, 'Hmm. This is rather nice.'
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
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
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
Women were going back to work, they were assuming their own power. They didn't have time to sit under the dryer.
Vidal Sassoon
I was a bit of a rebel.
Vidal Sassoon
To me hair dressing means shape. It's very important that the foundations should be right.
Vidal Sassoon
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
From my point of view, there is a tremendous amount to be said for secular humanism.
Vidal Sassoon
You either create something and you keep it a secret and you die with it, or you can benefit the craft.
Vidal Sassoon
My mother had a premonition and she felt that hairdressing would be very very good for me.
Vidal Sassoon
Hair is another name for sex.
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
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
My idea was to cut shape into the hair, to use it like fabric and take away everything that was superfluous.
Vidal Sassoon
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
I'm a great jazz fan.
