Most Successful British Companies Founded by Immigrants: Sassoon

Sassoon

This genius with Greek-heritage revolutionized women’s hairstyles in the post-war years. Mr. Sassoon’s salon on Bond Street in London became a hive of beautiful people, as did the ones he opened on Madison Avenue in New York in 1965 and, afterward, in Beverly Hills. Eventually he operated more than 20. He became a business pioneer creating a line of hair products under his name, building it into international hair-products empire.
