HAIR STYLIST VIDAL SASSOON DIES AGED 84
CELEBRITY hairdresser Vidal Sassoon died of natural causes yesterday, at the age of 84. The man behind an eponymous line of salons, beauty schools and hair products, Sassoon is credited with creating the short “bob” hairstyles in the 1960s, ending the previously popular “beehive” fashion. The last years of his life were spent living in Los Angeles, but British-born Sassoon remained a Chelsea FC fan and was made a CBE by the Queen in 2009.
