'''Vidal Sassoon''' was one of the most influential hair stylists of the mid-[[1960s]]. His works include the [[geometric]], the wash-and-wear [[perm]], and the "[[Nancy Kwan]]". They were all modern and low-maintenance. The hairstyles created by Sassoon relied on dark, straight, and shiny hair cut into geometric yet organic shapes.

In [[1963]], Sassoon created a short, angular hairstyle cut on a horizontal plane that was recreation of the classic "[[bob cut]]" His geometric haircuts seemed to be were severely cut, but were entirely lacquer-free, relying on the natural shine of the hair for effect.

''"Hair is nature's biggest compliment and the treatment of this compliment is in our hands. As in couture, the cut is the most important element... haircutting simply means design and this feeling for design must come from within."'' - Vidal Sassoon

Vidal Sassoon has given his name to a line of haircare products and to a chain of hair styling salons throughout the [[United Kingdom]] and the [[United States]].
