Venue
Vidal Sassoon was a legendary British hairstylist who changed women's haircutting and the global hairdressing industry. In 1954 he proposed a different approach: not styling, but precise geometric shape.
His iconic Five Point cut became one of the most recognisable works in the history of the profession. Sassoon Academy is an internationally recognised education system with over 70 years of experience.
It's not an aesthetic — it's a system of professional thinking, now available in Dubai. Ele Bos brought the school here together with teachers from Sassoon Academy London.
Sassoon heritage
In 1954 Vidal Sassoon introduced a different approach: precise geometric form rather than styling. The Five-Point cut of 1964, with its mathematical precision and architectural geometry, became one of the profession's most recognisable works.
