Vidal Sassoon The Movie

Even if you still get your hair cut at the barber shop and only comb it with your fingers unless it’s a formal occasion (in other words if you’re a regular guy), you will learn a lot watching this documentary from writer/director Craig Teper. Of course, you will learn a lot about Sassoon, a poor English lad who worked his scissor-holding fingers to the bone to make something of himself. And you will get a master-class level introduction into style and fashion, particularly on how Sassoon’s at-the-time revolutionary geometric style of haircut changed the world for women forever. More importantly, though, even if you think you have absolutely no interest in in a movie about a guy who cuts hair, you will learn how inspirational his life was, is and will be for generations.
