Vidal Sassoon (1928-2012)

Remembering the man who revolutionized the hairdressing world.

Beauty Industry legend Vidal Sassoon died last month at the age of 84. For over 50 years, the name Sassoon has been synonymous with cutting-edge hair design.

Sassoon’s visionary style and pioneering work led him to create the Modern Bob, Five-Point Cut, Asymmetric Cut, Graduated Angle Cut, and many more famous styles and shapes.

His sharp, short haircuts defined hair for the entire 1960’s generation right alongside mini-skirts and go-go boots!

Vidal Sassoon was the first hairdresser to launch a global product line. He appeared in many of his own TV commercials with the famous line – “If you don’t look good, we don’t look good”.

Sassoon was, without a doubt, the most influential hairdresser of the 20th Century. He will be missed.
