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

To me hair dressing means shape. It's very important that the foundations should be right.

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

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.'

I'm a great jazz fan.

Capri on the Amalfi Coast in Italy is my ultimate holiday destination.

When I was about 10 I ran away to see my father. He couldn't have cared less. He just took me back as soon as he could.
