Vidal Sassoon (born January 17,
1928) is a hairdresser.
Sassoon was born to Jewish parents in London. His father
was from Thessaloniki in northern Greece with Iraqi origins, and his mother, whose family was originally from Kiev, was born
in London.
Sassoon's works include the geometric, the wash-and-wear perm, and the "Nancy
Kwan." They were all modern and low-maintenance. The hairstyles created by Sassoon relied on dark, straight, and shiny
hair cut into geometric yet organic shapes. In 1963, Sassoon created a short, angular hairstyle cut on a horizontal plane
that was the recreation of the classic "bob cut." His geometric haircuts seemed to be severely cut, but were entirely
lacquer-free, relying on the natural shine of the hair for effect. Sassoon is a father of modernist style and has also been
a key force in the commercial direction of hair styling, turning its craft in to a multi-million dollar industry.
By the early 1980s, after moving to the United States, Sassoon had sold his name to manufacturers of haircare products
and the multinational Procter & Gamble was applying his name to shampoos and conditioners sold worldwide. Former salon
colleagues also bought Sassoon's salons and acquired the right to use his name, extending the brand in salons into the United
Kingdom and United States. However, in 2003, it was reported that Sassoon was suing Procter & Gamble for destroying his
brand by skimping on marketing in favor of the company's other hair product lines, notably Pantene. In 2004, it was reported
that he was no longer associated with the brand that bears his name. Also in 2002, the chain of Vidal Sassoon salons was sold
to Regis Corporation, thereby dissolving any connection between the brand.
Vidal Sassoon
has authored several books, including A Year of Beauty and Health co-written with his former wife, Beverly Sassoon.
In 1982, Sassoon started the Vidal Sassoon International Center for the Study of Antisemitism,
or SICSA, a research center devoted to the non-political, interdisciplinary gathering of information about antisemitism. In
the late 1940s, he was a member of the 43 Group. FamilyIn 1966, Vidal Sassoon married Beverly Adams. They had three children,
including actress Catya Sassoon (who died of a drug overdose on January 1, 2002), in addition to an adopted son. The couple
divorced in 1980. After the divorce, Beverly Sassoon began dating Erik Estrada.
Lady Gaga Telephone featuring our beautiful black
queen Beyonce
Are we ever going to fall out of love with Lady Gaga. If the Brits and Monster Ball Tour weren't enough then check
out the newly premiered video for Telephone featuring our afroccentric Beyonce Knowles Carter. Lady Gaga's nine minute
epic promo of Telephone (produced by Darkchild) features explicit content to say the least- graphic violence, mass murder,
nudity and a lesbian kiss. The ratings for the video has rocketed since it's release.
It's a shame Lady Gaga's younger fans have to wait a little
longer for a censored version suitable for daytime viewing or shall we say a younger audience. Leave your comments in our
guestbook about what you this of the Telephone Video.
Remington Hair Dryer - A Review of the Remington All That
Dryer
Fashion & Cosmetics
Most hair dryer reviews are talking about the amazing features that are
found on a full sized Remington hair dryer these days. What only a few have picked up is the smaller sized All That Dryer,
which has many of those features in a much more compact package. Whether you are searching for a dryer that is small enough
to fit into a tight space in your home or to tuck into a bag and travel around with, this is one you should definitely consider.
From basic outward appearances, the Remington All That hair dryer is your typical travel sized dryer in a bright, attractive
red and black design. It is lightweight and compact enough to slip into any bag or hang in a small area of a tight bathroom.
It is also available at a very low price, often found for less than twenty bucks. So what is so remarkable about this little
hair accessory, and why is it truly worthy of attention from hair dryer reviewers?
What makes it stand out is the extraordinary
amount of heat and power packed into one little dryer. If you have ever used a travel sized dryer, you know that they often
do not blow very hot and can burn up and quit working quite easily. The Remington All That ionic hair dryer has 1875 watts
of power, just like many of the best full sized models from this manufacturer. It has three heat settings and two speeds,
with the highest heat almost being too intense to use for most people. That is a lot of power and heat for one little travel
sized dryer!
Also like many full sized dryers, it has two speed and three heat options. The filter removes for simple
cleaning out, preventing it from getting clogged and burning out quickly.
The only possible drawbacks to this Remington
hair dryer is that it has a six foot cord and does not have the cool shot button often found on full sized dryers. Most people
can live without the cool shot, especially if this will be used as a travel dryer and not on a daily basis. The cord length
can also be worked around, as many full sized dryers have the same length. Overall, these are very small downfalls in comparison
to the excellent quality in such a small package.

trends at any age

basics right, you really can have fun with make-up and work any look. Creating a flawless base might seem like a task as you
get older, but try to apply your foundation just where you need it. Some powders and foundations can gather and cake in lines
and wrinkles so just use them on your your cheeks to cover redness or under the eyes to conceal dark circles. Less really
is more and it will keep your skin looking fresher and younger and also protected depending on the type of foundation you
opt for.
