Vidal Sassoon: Street Fighter, Freedom Fighter, Hair Revolutionary
Before he became the most famous hairdresser in the world, Vidal Sassoon was scrapping in the streets of London. Raised in a poor Jewish neighborhood and shuffled through orphanages, Sassoon learned to fight early — not just with his fists, but with purpose. He joined a Jewish self-defense group that took on British fascists in the 1930s, then later enlisted to fight in Israel’s War of Independence.
In this episode, hosts Aaron Berg and Andrew Davidsburg trace Sassoon’s journey from throwing punches at street-corner Nazis to slicing through cultural norms with a pair of shears. His cuts were sharp, geometric, and defiant — turning hair into a symbol of freedom and modernity. He didn’t just revolutionize style. He weaponized elegance.
A true badass Jew who fought fascism, built an empire, and never forgot where he came from.
