60's icon, Vidal Sassoon has died at the age of 84. His early beginnings were very bleak but he made a great success of his life. A life well lived and a peaceful passing by all accounts.... There will never be another like him.

He was just fabulous. There was a documentary about his life on television last year and he looked amazing. His life was a tremendous success and he changed the whole world of hairdressing when we moved from the the bubbly perms to his famous geometric cuts. He also did a lot of 'good' work.

I'd thought he'd gone blonde when I heard he had dyed and then I realised he had expired....

His excellent manners paved the way to his success; as when he went along as a young fellow of fourteen to seek employment at a barber's shop families were expected to fork out so that their children could to be indentured as apprentices. His family didn't have the money but the barber was so impressed by the way he conducted himself that he gave him a start.
I'll need to see if I can find the documentary to watch again. I was full of admiration for Vidal after watching it. Of course I was particularly interested as I was a Mod and you had to have a geometric haircut.

My hair was too wavy for his designs so I took the dippy hippy route... 
His interview was inspirational. He spent much of his life in an orphange and triumphed over adversity. No pity party for him....

A fine example of what can be achieved, harper. He was a handsome man and looked so suave in his eighties.
I struggled a bit with my geometric cut and recall a heavy use of lacquer to prevent the point on my forehead turning into a Bill Hayley style kiss curl.
