Vidal Sassoon The Movie

A film by Craig Teper

How one man changed the world with a pair of scissors.

Vidal Sassoon is more than just a hairdresser-he’s a rock star, an artist, a craftsman who “changed the world with a pair of scissors.” 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, Sassoon revolutionized the art of hairstyling and left an indelible mark on popular culture. This documentary traces with visual gusto the life of a self-made man whose passion and perseverance took him from a Jewish orphanage in London to the absolute pinnacle of his craft.

- The New York Times

“Couldn’t be more timely.”

- IndieWire

“A quietly devastating documentary that’s all the more attention-grabbing for being such a scrupulously restrained and slickly polished piece of work”
