Vidal Sassoon

Unveils the juiciest secrets of his career' Daily Mirror

With Sixties London in full swing, and the world looking to it for style, the only place to get a haircut was Vidal Sassoon.

With his passion for design and architecture, Vidal offered something utterly fresh in a world of concrete lacquer and the old- fashioned 'wash and set': he cut clean lines, angles; he liked hair that moved, that revealed the cheekbones. From Mary Quant to Grace Coddington and Twiggy, glamorous women flocked to Bond Street to get the short, geometric, sexy hairstyles that became his trademark.

Full of gloriously entertaining, vivid anecdotes from the frontline of fashion. Vidal is the inspiring autobiography of a boy from the East End who began cutting hair as a way out of grinding poverty - and ended up as the most famous hairdresser in the world.
