in the 1950s, VIDAL SASSOON opened his first salon in london. at that time, intensely styled up-dos were all the rage (remember the beehive?). they required weekly visits to the hairdresser who would use a variety of secrets and wizardry to create and maintain these styles.
the haircut didn't matter because styling was everything.

SASSOON saw a better future - one where people could have hair that styled effortlessly. so, he set out on a path of perfecting his technique and building a system of haircutting.
inspired by the geometric approach of BAUHAUS architects, SASSOON incorporated their philosophy into his curriculum. he trained his staff using these methods, resulting in unique and innovative haircuts. his philosophy was that hair should be a material in motion, and that it shouldn't have to be excessively styled. ideally, one should be able to wet their hair, shake it out, let it air dry, and look amazing.
SASSOON developed precision hair cutting as a way to achieve these geometric shapes. the ultimate goal of the method is to create shapes that are easy to style and naturally fall into place.
