Setting the Record (and the Hair) Straight
Reposted because the record is not yet straight. Here is the true story.
From an article by “Your Invaluable Sleuth of Hair History” in the Style Section of the New York Times, January 24, 2013.
Those in the know have known that Vidal Sassoon was not the first to cut Mia Farrow’s hair to that famous pixie cut, and that she cut it herself, then – not mentioned in the New York Times – then, Christopher Brooker re-cut it – all before the famous $5,000 hair snip that helped make Vidal Sassoon famous. Read the article, a letter from Mia Farrow herself. Why didn’t she – or Vidal – speak out before?!

My Article on Vidal Sassoon – Early 70s

This was one of the first articles I ever had published. It was for The Montreal Star, in the early 70s, where I had quarter page columns every week called “Right On.”
It was way before I joined Vidal Sassoon and featured great hair by Christopher Brooker, even if the hair wasn’t wearable for readers of a daily newspaper! It was quite a funny article, if not very flattering!
