Berkhamsted hairdresser swaps stories with Vidal Sassoon

A Berkhamsted hairdresser swapped salon stories with Vidal Sassoon at the premiere of his film. 

Trisha Buller, salon director of Ciente, took her graduate team of stylists to the launch party for Vidal Sassoon: The Movie in London's Westfield on Monday. 

While chatting to the world famous stylist, Trisha told him she had mentioned to a young girl in a florist that she was going to meet him and the girl replied: 'Oh, is Vidal Sassoon a person? I thought it was a hairdryer'. Vidal laughed and said: 'Some people think I am a bottle of shampoo.'

Trisha added: 'I was impressed by his knowledge and enthusiasm for the craft at the age of 83.'

The film tells the story of Sassoon's life, from a childhood in a Jewish orphanage to the pinnacle of his career as a revolutionary London hairdresser.
