Reply to comment by p38-lightning in TIL that Vidal Sassoon (his real name) started styling women's hair in wartime London as a teenager, but he took a hiatus at age twenty to join the elite Israeli commando force known as the Palmach. by p38-lightning
Oh wow. As a 15 year hairdresser, that’s like finding gold! Lol I’m so jealous. How is the book? Have you seen the documentary on Amazon?

I bought the book just to flip on Ebay, but it turned out to be a fun read. It was inscribed to a local salon that doesn't exist anymore. I did some digging and found that Vidal was in my area signing books at a stylist trade show back in 1968. Didn't know there was a documentary - will look for it - thanks!

When you stick it on eBay, let me know. Or I can just give you 20 bucks for it now?

Awww that’s so cool! Yeah the doc was made just a few years before his passing, so it’s great. It chronicles his early life and also what he did after he left the industry. He was a fascinating man in many ways. 💖
