In the Chinese hairdressing industry, there is such a legendary figure, Vidal Sassoon. He stepped into the hairdressing industry at the age of 15 and immersed himself in the work of a hairstylist. He has been doing this for 30 years.
At the age of 15, the young boy, driven by his love for hairdressing and a touch of innocence, embarked on his career. There was no shortcut. He started by learning the most basic skills of washing, cutting, and blow-drying. Day and night, for countless days and nights, he practiced every technique repeatedly and kept exploring in practice. Over these 30 years, his pursuit of hairstyle design techniques has never ceased, just like a sponge that is always eager to absorb water.
In order to acquire the most cutting-edge concepts and techniques, he frequently participated in international exchanges. In Japan, he experienced the integration of extreme refinement and the inheritance of traditional hairstyle aesthetics. In South Korea, he learned how to skillfully incorporate popular culture into hairstyle design, creating fashionable looks that are deeply loved by young people. In France and other European and American regions, he appreciated the unique presentation of bold innovation and artistic expression in hairstyles. Every time he participated in these exchanges, he regarded what he learned as precious treasures and brought back his insights and experiences to China.
Moreover, he actively engaged in industry academic activities, sharing his experiences and exchanging ideas with his peers, and jointly promoting the development of the hairdressing industry. With his unremitting efforts and outstanding talent, he successfully brought Chinese local hairstyle culture into a new trend. He was no longer simply imitating foreign designs. Instead, he skillfully integrated traditional Chinese elements, such as classical hair accessories and traditional colors, into modern hairstyle design, making the Chinese style stand out on the world stage of hairstyles.
His achievements have also been highly recognized by the fashion industry. He was once specially invited as a stylist for Shanghai Fashion Week. On the stage of Shanghai Fashion Week, he gave each piece of clothing a soul with his hairstyles. The hairstyles and the fashion designs complemented each other, jointly presenting a series of visual feasts and showcasing the unique charm of Chinese hairstyle design to the world.
