Aged 84, the world was shocked to hear that legendary hairdresser Vidal Sassoon had unfortunately passed away. Here we explore what he has left behind a legacy of beautiful, glamorous hair styles, that he can be thanked for and remembered by.
Vidal Sassoon, born in 1928 started life as a hair dressing apprentice in the Second World War, however it was what he was to learn from this internship that was to change the world in terms of style, elegance and sophistication in hair styling. Not only were his hair styles iconic and unique, however Vidal shared his passion and knowledge with the world by creating a brand of salons, and product ranges and then opening his own schools.
Vidal Sassoon was undisputedly a genius. He had a sense of vision and creativity that could only belong to someone so dedicated to hair styling, with futuristic ideas. Sassoon was to thank for the modern asymmetric look, adopted by celebrities such as Twiggy and more recently the well known Frankie Sandford.
Some would say that we have Vidal Sassoon to thank for the much loved bob hairstyles, in which ladies are allowed to show their masculine side with cute short hair, made feminine in the way that the look was finished. Sassoon created a contemporary twist on a classic look with celebrities such as Rihanna and Paris Hilton.
Not only was Vidal Sassoon responsible for the stylish bob epidemic, but he soon became thankful for what was yet to take the style world by storm with the pixie cut. This was made huge by Victoria Beckham and then sampled by various other glamorous stars who wanted to show their feminine side with a daring but delicate close cut.
Another legendary hair style made famous by the hairdresser was the five point cut. This was a revolutionary take on the ordinary bob, where the hair was allowed to be different lengths to create the illusion of a much thicker head of hair, as well as the ability to wear the hair straight, wavy or curly enabling the individual to incorporate their own quirkiness or reserved nature within the out there style.
