ABC

At the end of a foggy London alley off Bond Street—lined with pubs, boutiques, grit, and glamour—sits the original Vidal Sassoon Academy.

It’s where generations of the world’s finest hairstylists learned the foundations of precision before making the craft their own.

ABC baby. The classic Sassoon techniques are honed and tailored to perfection by talented hair stylists who live and breath all things Sassoon, Bauhaus architecture, mod fashion and geometric design. Every advanced class I’ve taken since has added another layer, but those foundations still influence the way I see hair today.
