More quotes by Vidal Sassoon

Image
I was all about my thoughts, my work, my inspiration. I was always in hair.
Vidal Sassoon
Image
Hairdressing in general hasn't been given the kudos it deserves. It's not recognised by enough people as a worthy craft.
Vidal Sassoon
Image
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
Image
It's okay saying sorry, but when you are drunk you say what you really feel.
Vidal Sassoon
Image
My mother had a premonition and she felt that hairdressing would be very very good for me.
Vidal Sassoon
Image
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.

Image
As stylists, we're groundshakers and daymakers. I was always in hair.
Vidal Sassoon
Image
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
Image
I was a bit of a rebel.
Vidal Sassoon
Image
My idea was to cut shape into the hair, to use it like fabric and take away everything that was superfluous.
Vidal Sassoon
Image
The essence is, what can we do next? And will it be good?
Vidal Sassoon
Image
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
Image
To sculpt a head of hair with scissors is an art form. It's in pursuit of art.
Vidal Sassoon
Image
For me the working of hair is architecture with a human element.
Vidal Sassoon
Image
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
Image
From my point of view, there is a tremendous amount to be said for secular humanism.
Vidal Sassoon
Image
You either create something and you keep it a secret and you die with it, or you can benefit the craft.
Vidal Sassoon
Image
It's hard to give advice. There are so many people, how do you give major advice to a group of people, it's very presumptuous.
Vidal Sassoon
Image
I think that as good architecture enhances a city, a good cut enhances the definition and expression of a face.

If you don't look good, we don't look good.
