Noted hairstylist Vidal Sassoon, known for creating the modern “bob,” has died at age 84.
His "wash and wear" philosophy liberated women from the "tyranny of the salon" and "revolutionized the art of hairstyling." Sassoon's styles became "emblematic of freedom and good health," and their popularity allowed him to open the first chain of worldwide hair styling salons, complemented by his hair-treatment products. He is also remembered for his television commercials in the 1960s. Vidal Sassoon: The Movie, a documentary film about his life, was released in 2010.
