Vidal Sassoon
born: 17-01-1928
birth place: London,UK
Born in the East End of London, Vidal Sassoon had no intention
of becoming a hairdresser, preferring to fight Osmond Mosley’s
fascists, who were once again stirring up racial hatred on the
post-war streets of London.
He grew up in a small London flat, until his father left home.
The 5 year old Vidal and his little brother survived 6 years
in a Jewish orphanage, before their mother remarried and
could afford to care for them again. When he was 14,
she dreamed one night of Vidal in a barber shop,
and she immediately took the boy to Cohen’s Beauty & Barber Shop,
and apprenticed him to Cohen.
If he must be a hairdresser, Vidal decided he would have to be the best,
so he went religiously to the theatre to tune his ear and voice to
"posh" English,
and found work in the West End. Still of school age, Vidal would toil
over the finest heads of hair by day and roam about the streets
in an anti-Mosley gang at night. The youngest among the fighters,
he was known as a plucky and reliable kid.
When America and Britain partitioned Palestine
and established the state of Israel in 1948,
Vidal went to fight for the Jewish homeland.
A few years after his return he set up his first salon
– a tiny room on the third floor above Bond Street.
For nine years he experimented with new cuts and techniques,
searching for simple, elegant styles. By 1963, he had pioneered
the Bob and Five-Point Cut, which made him famous and gave
him the title "the founder of modern hairdressing".
His went on to give his name to a chain of hair salons in the UK
and the United States, and his range of haircare products
continue to enjoy massive sales worldwide.

Asymmetric Bob - "...his bathroom mirror revealed to him,
three hours into a mushroom experiment, that there were actually
two distinct sides to his face, expressing two violently
different personalities."

"Most people's faces are asymmetrical, Fishman said,
but Lincoln's case was extreme, with the bony ridge
over his left eye rounder and thinner than the right side, and set backward"
you'll be happy to know there are herbs to aid people with facial asymmetry:
