Ill never forget one morning I walked in and I had a hell of a bruise – it had been a difficult night the night before – and a client said to me, Good God, Vidal, what happened to your face? And I said, Oh, nothing, madam, I just fell over a hairpin. – Vidal Sassoon
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. – Vidal Sassoon

I got a telegraph from my mother who said that my step-father had had a heart attack, come home and earn a living. So I went back to England and the only thing I knew to earn any cash was through hairdressing. – Vidal Sassoon
I believe that every human being is potentially capable within his limits of fully realizing his potentialities; that this, his being cheated and choked of it, is infinitely the ghastliest, commonest, and most inclusive of all the crimes of which the human world can assure itself. – James Agee
