John Raffert is with Davines. Tony Beckerman has a long history with Vidal as he started his education and was with Vidal when he invented the graduated bob and he was a witness that day he did the cut for the very first time on a client. later going on to being director of Sassoon's school in the united states. I first met David at the Sassoon's school in Knitsbridge in 1968 and he was one of the first Americans to came to Vidal Sassoons school and see the new system. Later he worked alongside other greats and I think that includes Roger Thompson. Never met anyone with more passion for our profession than David.
