Vidal Sassoon The Movie

Posted at 7:39 AM • No Comments

Vidal Sassoon is regarded as the man who changed the world with a pair of scissors. This hairdressing pioneer rose to fame nearly 50 years ago with his geometric cuts. He is an inspiration for many and for the first time a new movie will provide a deep intimate look into his life.

Vidal Sassoon The Movie is a film and book project documenting the life of Vidal Sassoon – from his days in a London orphanage, to his time as an Israeli soldier, through his incredible career.

The film tells of Sassoon’s rise from an impoverished childhood as a Jewish boy in London, to fighting for Israel against the Arabs, to forging his career as a hairdresser, building his company and becoming a television star.

Vidal Sassoon The Movie, is produced by Michael Gordon, founder of the Bumble and Bumble hair salons. This film depicts the life of the 82 year old legend who quit school at age 14 and began to train as a hairdresser.

Today Vidal Sassoon is a global brand, but the legendary hairstylist feels that hairdressers still don’t get the respect they deserve. He says that some people still view hairdressing as “a craft for creeps and freaks.” It’s not recognized by enough people as a worthy craft.

Vidal Sassoon The Movie made its world premiere last week at Tribeca Film Festival. You can stay tuned for updates about the movie and related events by following Vidal Sassoon The Movie on Facebook.

No eliminations on Episode 8 of She...

Posted at 11:29 AM • No Comments

Shear Genius Season 3 has already been exciting so far. The judges made Bravo’s reality show even more exciting this week by not sending anyone home this time around.

There are four stylists left now, Brig, Matthew, Janine and Jon. All of them were safe after Episode 8 of Shear Genius Season 3.

When these remaining stylists arrived in the salon, they learned that other competitors must select a tool, a style and an inspiration for them to use on their model. This was their task for the Shortcut Challenge, which was judged by celebrity stylist Mark Townsend.

For the Elimination Challenge, the stylists are charged with updating hairstyles from classic Hollywood movies for an editorial-style photo shoot. This challenge was judged by Allure’s Editor in Chief Linda Wells.

After judging everyone’s styles, Matthew was declared as the winner. The Judges said that Matthew was able to successfully modernize a very old-fashioned look, while keeping it just as sexy.

During Episode 8 of Shear Genius 3, Brig and Jon were the bottom two in the Elimination Challenge. Ideally, one of them had to be eliminated from the show. However, both of them managed to hold their places as no eliminations were made.

The judges didn’t send anyone home this time around, but should they have? You be the judge! Give your views about the judges decision here: www.bravotv.com/shear-genius
