Independent British distributors Verve Pictures have revealed that they will release on Blu-ray Craig Teper's documentary Vidal Sassoon: The Movie (2010), which was screened at the Tribeca Film Festival last month.
Vidal Sassoon is more than just a hairdresser - he's a rock star, an artist, a craftsman who 'changed the world with a pair of scissors'. With the geometric, Bauhaus-inspired hair styles he pioneered in the 1960s and his 'wash and wear' philosophy, Sassoon revolutionised the art of hairstyling, leaving an indelible mark on popular culture. Sassoon literally changed the way that women look and cut their hair today. Spanning 80 years of revolution in culture, Vidal Sassoon: The Movie takes a deeply intimate look into the life of this extraordinary man, whose influence far outreaches the industry he changed forever.
Street date for Vidal Sassoon: The Movie is September 12th.
