The beautiful thing about Vidal Sassoon is that you know you're going to get a great haircut no matter where in the world your choice salon happens to be at.

But I digress. My main point here being that everyone talks about branding, yet very few companies actually manage to pull it off with anywhere near as much panache and conviction as Vidal Sassoon. Oh, and one more thing: my haircut is wash and go (see the pic? Wash. Go!). What kind of magic is that?
