The man credited with changing the face of hairdressing. Passionate, inspirational, totally influential. A man driven to succeed in putting hairdressing on the map.
May his influence and passion live on in our quest to establish hairdressing as one of the best professions to inspire well being, happiness and growth. Always strive to grow, work hard, share your passion and respect others! RIP Vidal.

RIP Vidal Sasson... He did away with hats and evolved HAIRCUTS in place of HAIRDRESSING. 60s Modernity replaced Classicism. World leader!
