I think that as good architecture enhances a city, a good cut enhances the definition and expression of a face.

To sculpt a head of hair with scissors is an art form. It's in pursuit of art.

Hairdressing in general hasn't been given the kudos it deserves. It's not recognised by enough people as a worthy craft.

I'm a great jazz fan.

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.'

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.
