Vidal Sassoon

Um, the hairdressing sector have that right, absolutely have that right.

So we've got a hair salons in our college, every college does, and we'll have Wella or Vidal Sassoon or, or another big brand who will fight to give us things for free because they know that if you've trained with that, that's what you're going to im- input when you move into your own salon, you open your own place.

So I'm ta- chatting to an engineering company and I'm saying, "You want us to use your tools? Give them to students in their hands at the first point of contact, because the moment they then go into their workplace, and they might be in the stores, they might be ordering the kit and equipment, their mind's programmed to go to your kit and equipment." Hairdressing have had it nailed down f- forever.

That's why there's the top three, three brands, and that's the, the only three brands that anybody goes to.

the apartment she's kind of very erratic to leave the apartment because that's what she thinks she's safe but then it turns out that that's actually the worst place that she could have been like that's the least safe place for her to be

well she goes up one of the things she does when she goes out is gets a bit of a glow up or tries to and gets this vidal sassoon haircut

It's Vidal Sassoon.

Even her friends.

Rosemary's Baby takes the...

Other haircuts are available.

That is a hell of a haircut.

Over the decades, what is your favorite hairstyle? Because my word, Wolf had more hairstyles than Kate Mulgrew.

You're like an advert for Vidal Sassoon.

Yeah, bad Sassoon.

Bad Sassoon.

What it does is the apartment becomes a prison that she's stuck in with these other people who are coming in through these secret passageways, through the door that the wardrobe's been hiding.

And it becomes the setting of this persecution, this conspiracy against her that throughout the film, she does want to, you know, seems to want to fit in at the beginning, but as she grows more and more kind of paranoid, but it's not really paranoid because it's all true, she starts to rebel a bit, right? So she gets her hair cut with the Vidal Sassoon thing.

And then she's fighting a little bit more with Guy, her husband.

And she's throwing out the pills and the herbal drink.

um that you just thought this is an industry that was so diverse it was challenging and yet you know if you had any energy and focus you could really push yourself and getting behind somebody that could help you was was everything so it was

almost like the age of hairdressing rock stars yeah you know you'd have the sort of through the 50s and 60s you'd have the sort of Vidal Sassoon and Leonard and those names who were really part of society and really part of the cultural landscape.
