Summary
With the geometric, Bauhaus-inspired hairdos he pioneered in the 1960s and his "wash and wear" philosophy that liberated generations of women from the tyranny of the salon, Vidal Sassoon revolutionized the art of hairstyling and left an indelible mark on popular culture. This documentary traces the life of a self-made man whose passion and perseverance took him from an orphanage in London to the absolute pinnacle of his craft.Additional Information
