His salons were the first chain to be opened worldwide in thousands of countries, and changed the way women thought about the dreaded "tyranny of hair salons". Vidal Sassoon hair products are always in demand and will be used by women for years to come, which just proves his influence and impact on the styling world.
In 1954, he opened his first salon in London and was determined to start changing the hairdressing world and leaving his mark firmly on it. Well, he certainly did. His modern, geometric perms were a hit with the women of the 1950's, and the 60s saw his short "bob cut" hair style become an even greater hit with his admirers.
In a rare interview, Vidal Sassoon met with the the editor of The Guardian's film website in May 2011, and talked about his early life and career. After hearing of his passing, the Guardian found that it was the right time to release this interview online, and hear, in his own words, stories and memories from his successful career.
Without us even knowing it, Vidal Sassoon products are sold in almost every hairdressers and can be found in any well stocked store worldwide, and thousands are sold every day. His memory will live on, as we continue to use what he created, and appreciate all his work towards changing and developing a great company.
