The pioneer of the hairdresser Vidal Sassoon rose to fame nearly 50 years ago with geometric cuts and market knowledge which led to a global brand, but even today, believes that hairdressers do not get the respect they deserve.

" "The salon in general has not received the prestige it deserves," says Sassoon, who was unable to attend the festival after spending several weeks in hospital due to pneumonia. He also said: "It is not recognized by enough people as a profession worthy." "If you get the hair of a person you've never seen before, beautiful forms short, short, beautiful architectural angles and she goes off with a look very different, (..) I think that's brilliant," he added.

Sassoon said he was inspired by wonderful facilities around the world for many of his haircuts. A big fan of Chelsea football club, Sassoon said, after working in the lounge all week, watching their team play every weekend was "better than a psychiatrist's couch."
