HAVING achieved tonsorial legendom, Vidal Sassoon was hardly likely to pick up a pair of scissors, a hair dryer or even, heaven forbid, curlers ever again.
Until, that is, yesterday, when he came across the fashionable head of Flora Cheong-Leen.
Over lunch at the China Club, the man whose name hits you from across countless supermarket shelves had been casting alluring glances at Flora's locks.
But his resistance collapsed when they both got to the Sassoon salon on the ground floor of the Bank of America Tower.
The great man was lending his support to the 'cut-in' being staged yesterday and today to raise money for the Ten Most Outstanding Persons Award Association, of which Flora is the current fund-raising chairman.
Previous winners of this award include Selina Chow, Allen Lee, Hui Yin-fat, Jackie Chan and Flora herself.
