Local tributes to Vidal Sassoon Young hair fashion stylists in Lewisham have been paying their respects and recognising the debt they owe to Vidal Sassoon , whose death this week received global media coverage. Born in London, Mr Sassoon began his hairdressing career in the city with his first barber shop apprenticeship in London's East End. Fellow British celebrity hairdresser Nicky Clarke paid tribute to Vidal Sassoon on BBC's Newsnight calling him "the most iconic hairdresser". Valda Pakalniene and Emilija Jakaite of the New Cross Beauty Salon describe him as a legend. Rosanna Petrozzi says he was an inspiration to her as a result of artistic nature of his work and legacy. Sassoon will be greatly missed by many who he inspired into the vocation. |
