On May 9, 2012, world class hairdresser and pioneer Vidal Sassoon passed away in his Los Angeles home at the age of 84. Vidal Sassoon liberated women from the 50s era of bouffants and beehives, where previously women had to maintain the up keep with weekly visits to beauty parlors. As a hair architect, Vidal envisioned hair to take on a different form beyond shampoo sets, over teasing and a lacquer finish. 
Vidal was the first of his kind to step outside the box and create wash-n-wear hair. Here, he was inspired to cut the hair according to body structure best suited to a woman’s face shape. Vidal harnessed the craft of carving geometric shapes into the body of the hair creating angles, layers, gradation and movement. He saw hair at its best and utilized the hair’s natural shine as the finishing touch. By such hair sculpting, Vidal transformed iconic hair styles to become efficient and modern. Today he is known as the originator of “the bob” and the five point cut, familiarly known as the iconic Beatles-do. Beyond his excellence as a haircutter, Vidal was a brilliant business man and writer. While he will be greatly missed, Vidal leaves behind an extraordinary legacy, which continues to pave the way for hairdressers, fashion designers and everyday people around the globe.

Hi Mishi, Thanks for checking in. I love my hair even more now. The day I got the ombre done I was still getting to know my new hair–now we are the best of friends. And I am having fun with it too!
The whole thing has made me update my look and have also discovered that waves look great on my hair and that it makes me look younger. Without drawing huge conclusions, the whole thing has forced me to take better care of myself and even dress better. I have received tons of compliments and comments since then.
So THANK YOU. I just saw your video on the fior avanti product (that cherry vinegar) so I will swing by soon and get a bottle.
I am definitely talking about MORPHIC!
Stay cool and don't move to NYC.
Cheers,
Flo

Thanks to you, I'm on my way up - to a bigger and better space within Sola Studios! I'm so proud to offer you - my amazing clients - something brighter and better! Come to my Grand Opening celebration of my new studio and meet my new hair assistant Akiha Imazu on May 4 at 6pm Suite 210!
It is going to be a blast - a blast of hairspray that is! Yours truly will be the entertainment, demonstrating outrageously awesome morphed out hairstyling. It's going to be fun, exhilarating and slightly hilarious. So bring yourself and your whole posse to the party. And when choosing your outfit think outside the box...the more outrageous, the more fun you will have. Don't be boring! Go crazy!
And if none of that convinced you, there will be free drinks, music, and snacks!
Can't wait to see your face!
Xo,
Mishi
