84 Quotes by Vidal Sassoon

You must always do what you feel is right.

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.

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

You either create something and you keep it a secret and you die with it, or you can benefit the craft.

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.

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.'

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.

Women were going back to work, they were assuming their own power. They didn't have time to sit under the dryer.

Hairdressing in general hasn't been given the kudos it deserves. It's not recognised by enough people as a worthy craft.
