Sassoon

Vidal (1928). English hairdresser. His style of cutting and his mainly geometric hairstyles was, during the 1950s and 1960s, one of the springboards of the aesthetic revolution which accompanied the liberalization and change in fashion in the era of Swinging London, the Beatles and flower power. He opened salons and shops in Europe, Canada, the United States, and Singapore (a total of 10 in the mid-1990s) and created hair products. Passionate about his job, he founded a school of hairdressing in 1969 and an academy in 1973.
