Elan Sassoon
When I was a young girl, the thought of being part of the world that Vidal Sassoon created seemed magical. The man himself was, to me, an untouchable icon. Immortal. Larger than life. So… you can imagine my shock and awe when last week his son, Elan Sassoon walked in the front door of salon Tonic. Wow. He was gracious, humble, and genuinely interested in knowing about the culture I created. As we sat on the lobby sofa, I couldn’t help but feel as though I was looking into the face of his father. Can you see the resemblance in the photos? Sometimes life can hand you gifts when you least expect it. Meeting Elan Sassoon was magical.
