I was all about my thoughts, my work, my inspiration. I was always in hair.

To me hair dressing means shape. It's very important that the foundations should be right.

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.

From 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.

From 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.'

From 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.

From Vidal Sassoon

It's okay saying sorry, but when you are drunk you say what you really feel.

From Vidal Sassoon

If you have a sense of style and purpose and will you don't want to compromise.

From Vidal Sassoon

You must always do what you feel is right.

From 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.
