The Great Vidal Sassoon

Although it's a bit late I still think I should write a post about the late Vidal Sassoon.

Famously known for the striking bob haircut.

One of the most modern hair trends was first seen on Mary Quant in his early days of hairdressing.

Around this time millions of women embraced this hairstyle as it was low maintenance and didn't provide much skill after being cut to make it look perfect everyday. The term given to this was "wash and wear" because it saved a lot of time for the modern working woman.

Vidal Sassoon explored sharp cuts and geometric angles in many ways to highlight every woman's facial features.

Sassoon's first salon opened in London in 1954. As a new turned businessman he then grew his empire in the US, thus becoming a household name as he launched a wide range of products. He also received a CBE at Buckingham Palace in 1999.

Even Emma Watson is still rocking the pixie look developed by Sassoon.
