In 1968's Rosemary's Baby, audiences gasped at the super-short hairstyle of Mia Farrow. Created by Vidal Sassoon, it was the pixie cut that became a wildly favorite style for decades to come. It's huge right now, as women's styles returned to short cuts. A haircut, the creation for Mia cost ,000, because it included Sassoon's airfare from London.
Vidal Sassoon, who revolutionized hairstyling and was in question all over the world, died at his home on May 9 from an unspecified illness, although he had been battling leukemia.

How did Vidal Sassoon turn fashion? A long time ago, women went to the "beauty parlor." When was the last time you heard that expression? A teenage high school dropout, he spent years as a shampoo boy. When he was promoted to styling hair, Sassoon started with I Love Lucy-style haircuts. The women kept their hats on, and he styled around the hat. Years later, he was the first celebrity stylist.

You may not know that the Beatles came to Vidal Sassoon and left with their "moptop" hairstyle sporting blunt cut bangs. In 1963 Sassoon created one of his architectural hairstyles for London's Mary Quant, the inventor of the miniskirt. He was the stylist for her fashion show models, changing the heavily sprayed bouffants to blunt-edged bobs. Sassoon studied a woman's bone buildings and the texture of her hair. He created geometric cuts, inventing a "five point" cut peaking at the neck and in front of the ears. Someone else new and favorite style was the asymmetric bob, cut longer on one side than the other. After he cut a woman's hair, she shook her head, and the style fell right back into place - with no spray.
From the standpoint of a woman avoiding hours of hair care, Vidal Sassoon popularized the use of handheld hair dryers for personal use and salon use. Women happily said goodbye to sleeping on rollers and sitting under hot hair dryers. Why else would Mia Farrow keep her short cut when she married Frank Sinatra?
Sassoon opened his own salon in London in 1954. He decided on a five-year goal. He'd give it up if he didn't make it by then. But he assuredly did. A few years later he opened a New York salon. In 1973 he introduced his line of hair-care products. Then he moved to Los Angeles, where he was the darling of the celebrity crowd, with prices to match.
Vidal Sassoon training courses were taught, and sometimes the fantastic happened. A woman discovered a Sassoon-trained stylist at her projection salon.
We'll miss Vidal Sassoon. In these days of reality shows with amazingly bad taste, he brought elegance to us, beginning at the top of our heads.
