RIP - Vidal Sasson - A pioneer for creating with wash and wear looks, liberating many women from weekly salon trips to have their hair done.
The British stylist's scissors spelled the end of the 1950s-era beehive and the bouffant - untouchable hairstyles that owed their existence to hairspray and hair pins - and brought him iworld wide fame and fortune.
In the 1960s he created a young and natural look in hair and helped usher in a new era of style at the time.
But as much as he was a genius in the salon, Sassoon was a whiz in business.
He began marketing his name, styles and cutting techniques in a worldwide line of beauty salons, hair-cutting schools and related lines of hair products.
''If you get hold of a head of hair on somebody you've never seen before, cut beautiful shapes, cut beautiful architectural angles and she walks out looking so different - I think that's masterful."
