Sassoon revolutionised the hairdressing world, bringing sleek, angular cuts to the fore at a time of curls, waves and sets.The movie is the story of how one man changed the world with a pair of scissors and a head full of fresh ideas.

It’s a candid documentary that helps us understand just what an influence Sassoon has had on cultural history, not just hairdressing.
