Hair today, gone tomorrow...

From curling hair to curling toes..

Perhaps all the convertible drivers on here should arrange a formation drive-by in tribute?

 

[Charles Morgan]

That reminds me, I need a haircut.

Interesting history - I hadn't realised his fighting past. Bet he wouldn't drive an SLK..

 

[Palfrem]

He just cut women's hair for God's sake.

Nah - they would have that military-style salute where the pall-bearers walk under a line of crossed swords. Except instead of swords they would be crossed curling tongues...

Sorry, but I think it's in pretty bad taste to be making jokes sassoon.

 

[Beetnik]

Agreed gmk666; it's vidal that we show respect.

Fair play to the old guy. Made lots of wonga from the "pudding bowl and sheep clippers" school of hair cutting . I preferred my women to have little more hair as typified by another fashion icon of the time Jean Shrimpton good resume + video interview here - http://www.telegraph.co.uk/expat/ex...tylist-Vidal-Sassoon-dies-at-home-in-L.A.html

The BBC have now decided not to show live coverage of his funeral. Apparently they will just be showing the highlights.
