Vidal Sassoon's extraordinary life has taken him from an
impoverished East End childhood to global fame. The father of
modern hairdressing, his slick sharp cutting took the fashion world
by storm and reinvented the hairdressers' art. Before Vidal
Sassoon, a trip to the hairdressers meant a shampoo and set or a
stiffly lacquered up-do that would last a week - or more. After
Vidal Sassoon, hair was sleek, smooth and very, very stylish. Along
with his lifelong friend and partner in style, Mary Quant, who he
first met in 1957 and who to this day sports a Sassoon-style
geometric bob, he styled the 1960s. As memorable as the mini - be
it car or skirt - he is one of the few people who can genuinely be
described as iconic. His memoirs are as rich in anecdote as one
might hope and full of surprising and often moving stories of his
early life - his time at the Spanish & Portuguese Jewish
Orphanage in Maida Vale, fighting Fascists in London's East End and
fighting in the army of the fledgling state of Israel in the late
Forties. And then there's the extraordinary career, during which he
cut the hair of everyone who was anyone, launched salons all over
the world, founded the hairdressing school that still bears his
name and became a global brand, with Vidal Sassoon products on all
our bathroom shelves.
