My mother had a premonition and she felt that hairdressing would be very very good for me.
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
If you don't look good, we don't look good.
Vidal Sassoon
I kept thinking I would be spending my life up to my elbows in shampoo.
Vidal Sassoon
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.
