खूबसूरती क्या है... अपने पूरे वजूद का जोशीला और सकारात्मक इज़हार।

Beauty is.. The passionate and positive expression of the complete self.

मुझे लगता है कि जैसे अच्छी वास्तुकला शहर की खूबसूरती बढ़ाती है, वैसे ही एक अच्छा हेयरकट चेहरे के नक्शों और अभिव्यक्ति को और निखारता है।

I think that as good architecture enhances a city, a good cut enhances the definition and expression of a face.

कैंची से बालों को तराशना एक कला है। यह कला की तलाश है।

अगर आप बस कोई काम कर देते हैं, तो आप पांच दिन के मेहमान हैं और अलविदा, आपका खेल खत्म। लेकिन अगर लोगों को उसमें कुछ सार्थक लगता है, तो न केवल वे आपकी नकल करते हैं बल्कि उसे करना सीखना भी चाहते हैं। मेरे लिए, यही सब कुछ है। अगर कोई मुझसे पूछे, 'मूल रूप से आप अपने पीछे क्या छोड़ गए हैं?' तो वह दूसरों को सिखाना था ताकि वे मेरे काम को आगे बढ़ा सकें।

If you just do something, then you're a five-year wonder and, goodbye, you're gone. But if people feel it's worthwhile, not only do they copy but they want to learn how to do it To me, that's what it's all about. If someone were to ask me, 'What's the number one thing, in essence, that you left behind?' It was the teaching of others so that they could take my work and take it further.

जब आलोचक आपसे कहें कि यह मुमकिन नहीं है और तरह-तरह की मुश्किलें आपके रास्ते में आएंगी, तो मैं कहूँगा कि यह बकवास है। यदि आप अपनी असलियत को पहचान कर उससे कुछ कर दिखाते हैं, तो मेरा दिल कहता है कि आप खुद को हैरान कर देंगे।

When the doubters tell you it can't be done and all kind of tragedies will come your way, I say nonsense. If you can get to the very root of who you are and make something happen from it, my sense tells me you are going to surprise yourself.

मेरे लिए बालों को संभालना एक ऐसी वास्तुकला है जिसमें इंसानी जज्बा भी शामिल है।

For me the working of hair is architecture with a human element.

आपको हमेशा वही करना चाहिए जो आपको सही लगे।

यदि आप किसी ऐसे व्यक्ति के बालों को अपने हाथ में लेते हैं जिसे आपने पहले कभी नहीं देखा, और उस पर सुंदर आकृतियाँ और बेहतरीन वास्तुशिल्प कोण (आर्किटेक्चरल एंगल) तराशते हैं, जिससे वह बिल्कुल नए रूप में बाहर आती है - तो मुझे लगता है कि यही असली महारत है।

If you get hold of a head of hair on somebody you've never seen before, cut beautiful shapes, cut beautiful architectural angles and she walks out looking so different - I think that's masterful.

मेरा विचार बालों को एक नया आकार देना, उनके साथ किसी कपड़े की तरह काम करना और हर उस चीज़ को हटा देना था जिसकी कोई ज़रूरत नहीं थी।

My idea was to cut shape into the hair, to use it like fabric and take away everything that was superfluous.

हमने वास्तविक ज्यामिति (ज्यामेट्रि), वास्तुकला के रूपों और हड्डियों की बनावट का उपयोग करके हेयरकट में अनुशासन लाना सीखा। कटिंग इतनी सटीक और खूबसूरत लेयरिंग वाली होनी चाहिए कि जब कोई महिला अपने बाल झटके, तो वे खुद-ब-खुद अपनी सही जगह पर वापस आ जाएं।

We learned to put discipline in the haircuts by using actual geometry, actual architectural shapes and bone structure. The cut had to be perfect and layered beautifully, so that when a woman shook it, it just fell back in.

अगर कोई मुझसे पूछे, 'सार रूप में, आपकी छोड़ी हुई सबसे बड़ी चीज़ क्या है?'... तो वह है दूसरों को सिखाना, ताकि वे मेरे काम को आगे बढ़ा सकें और उसे और ऊंचाइयों तक ले जा सकें।

If someone were to ask me, 'What's the number one thing, in essence, that you left behind?'... it was the teaching of others, so that they could take my work and take it further.

बाल कामोत्तेजना (सेक्शुअलिटी) का ही दूसरा नाम है।

मैं पूरी तरह से अपने विचारों, अपने काम और अपनी प्रेरणा में डूबा रहता था। मेरा पूरा जीवन बस बालों के इर्द-गिर्द ही घूमता था।

I was all about my thoughts, my work, my inspiration. I was always in hair.

या तो आप कुछ नया बनाकर उसे अपने तक ही सीमित रखें और अपने साथ ही कब्र में ले जाएं, या फिर उसे इस कला के विकास के लिए साझा करें।

ज़्यादातर लोगों की गर्दन की बनावट बहुत अच्छी होती है। लेकिन लोग उन्हें कपड़ों से ढक लेते हैं, जो कि थोड़ा अजीब है। जबकि कुछ गर्दन की रेखाएं इतनी खूबसूरत होती हैं कि आप उन पर कैंची चलाकर अद्भुत बैक डिज़ाइन के साथ-साथ चेहरे की बनावट को भी निखार सकते हैं।

Most people have excellent necks. Now they cover them with curtains, which is kind of ridiculous. But there are some beautiful necklines that you can cut into and create wonderful backs, as well as bone structure for the face.

एक हेयर स्टाइलिस्ट के रूप में, हम दुनिया में हलचल मचाने वाले और लोगों का दिन बनाने वाले होते हैं। मेरा पूरा जीवन बस बालों के इर्द-गिर्द ही बीता है।

As stylists, we're groundshakers and daymakers. I was always in hair.

मेरे लिए हेयर ड्रेसिंग का मतलब एक आकार देना है। यह बहुत ज़रूरी है कि इसकी नींव बिल्कुल सही होनी चाहिए।

To me hair dressing means shape. It's very important that the foundations should be right.

महिलाएं काम पर लौट रही थीं, वे अपने दम पर अपनी ताकत संभाल रही थीं। उनके पास हेयर ड्रायर के नीचे घंटों बैठने का समय नहीं था।

Women were going back to work, they were assuming their own power. They didn't have time to sit under the dryer.

मैंने नौ वर्षों तक कड़ी मेहनत करके उस समय की हेयरड्रेसिंग को रंग, बिना सेट किए पर्म (जो पहले कभी नहीं हुआ था) और एक ज्यामितीय कला के रूप में बदल दिया।

For nine years I worked to change what was hairdressing then into a geometric art form with color, perm without setting which had never been done before.

बालों ने मुझे हमेशा रोमांचित किया। जैसे ही पुराने तरीके - जैसे बालों को पीछे की ओर फुलाना, रोलर्स और रूढ़िवादिता - खत्म हुए, मुझे अपनी आँखों के सामने अनंत संभावनाएँ महसूस होने लगीं।

Hair excited me. As the old ways - backcombing, rollers and rigidity - went out of the window, I started to feel the possibilities in front of my eyes.

मुझे वह सुबह कभी नहीं भूलेगी जब मैं काम पर पहुँचा और मेरे चेहरे पर ज़ोरदार चोट का निशान था - पिछली रात काफी कठिन रही थी - और एक ग्राहक ने मुझसे पूछा, 'हे भगवान, विडाल, तुम्हारे चेहरे को क्या हुआ?' और मैंने कहा, 'ओह, कुछ नहीं मैडम, मैं बस एक हेयरपिन पर गिर गया था।'

I'll never forget one morning I walked in and I had a hell of a bruise - it had been a difficult night the night before - and a client said to me, 'Good God, Vidal, what happened to your face?' And I said, 'Oh, nothing, madam, I just fell over a hairpin.'

मैं यही सोचता रहता था कि मेरी पूरी ज़िंदगी शैंपू में हाथ डुबोते हुए ही बीतेगी।

I kept thinking I would be spending my life up to my elbows in shampoo.

सलाह देना बहुत मुश्किल है। यहाँ इतने सारे लोग हैं, आप किसी पूरे समूह को कोई बड़ी सलाह कैसे दे सकते हैं, यह बहुत अदूरदर्शिता होगी।

आम तौर पर हेयरड्रेसिंग को वह सम्मान नहीं मिला जिसकी वह हकदार है। बहुत से लोग इसे एक कला के रूप में नहीं पहचानते।

Hairdressing in general hasn't been given the kudos it deserves. It's not recognised by enough people as a worthy craft.

इसलिए मैं 14 साल की उम्र में शैंपू करने का काम कर रहा था। लेकिन मुझे हमेशा से लगता था कि अगर मुझे पढ़ाई का मौका मिला होता, तो मैं एक आर्किटेक्ट (वास्तुकार) बनता। इसमें कोई दो राय नहीं है।

So I was shampooing at 14. But I've always thought that had I the opportunity for an education, I would have been an architect. There's no question about it.

20 के दशक के उत्तरार्ध में मेरे पिता हमें छोड़कर चले गए। मेरी माँ पूरी तरह से बेसहारा हो गई थीं, उनके पास एक फूटी कौड़ी भी नहीं थी, और हमें घर से निकाल दिया गया था।

एक साल बाद जब मैं घर लौटा, तो भले ही मेरा पेशा सिर्फ हेयरड्रेसिंग था, लेकिन मैं जानता था कि मैं इसमें बदलाव ला सकता हूँ।

मुझे मेरी माँ का एक तार (telegram) मिला जिसमें लिखा था कि मेरे सौतेले पिता को दिल का दौरा पड़ा है, घर वापस आओ और कुछ कमाओ। इसलिए मैं वापस इंग्लैंड लौट आया और पैसे कमाने का एकमात्र ज़रिया जो मैं जानता था, वह हेयरड्रेसिंग ही था।

I got a telegraph from my mother who said that my step-father had had a heart attack, come home and earn a living. So I went back to England and the only thing I knew to earn any cash was through hairdressing.

कामकाजी महिलाएँ हफ्ते में कुछ शिलिंग बचा लेती थीं, और फिर हर पाँचवें हफ्ते वे यहाँ आती थीं और हम उनके बाल काटते थे। वे शॉवर के नीचे अपने बाल धो सकती थीं, उन्हें झटकार कर सुखा सकती थीं या फिर ऐसे ही सूखने दे सकती थीं। इससे उन अनगिनत युवा लड़कियों की ज़िंदगी बदल गई जिन्हें पहले कभी इस तरह बाल सँवारने का मौका नहीं मिला था।

A working woman could save a few shillings a week, and then every five weeks she'd come in and we'd cut her hair. She could shampoo it under the shower, swing it and dry it off or just let it dry by itself. It changed the lives of many young girls who'd never had the opportunity to be styled like that before.

धर्मग्रंथों के रूढ़िवादी बंधनों से परे हटकर अपनी असल समाज को समझना और उसके प्रति मानवीय दृष्टिकोण रखना ही एकमात्र ऐसी चीज़ है जिस पर हम पूरी तरह भरोसा कर सकते हैं।

Realizing our society as it is, without theology dogmatically telling us how we should react to it, and being humane toward that society, that is all that we're sure of.

जब मैं करीब 10 साल का था, तो अपने पिता से मिलने के लिए घर से भाग गया था। पर उन्हें मेरी कोई परवाह नहीं थी। मौका मिलते ही उन्होंने मुझे तुरंत वापस पहुँचा दिया।
