The essence is, what can we do next? And will it be good?

If you don't look good, we don't look good.

My mother had a premonition and she felt that hairdressing would be very very good for me.

If you have a sense of style and purpose and will you don't want to compromise.

I'll never forget one morning I walked in and I had a hell of a bruise - it had been a difficult night the night before - and a client said to me, 'Good God, Vidal, what happened to your face?' And I said, 'Oh, nothing, madam, I just fell over a hairpin.'

For nine years I worked to change what was hairdressing then into a geometric art form with color, perm without setting which had never been done before.
