The famed coiffeur passed away from apparent natural causes at the house on Mulholland Drive, where family members were present, according to a Los Angeles Police Department spokesman.
Born in England, Sassoon grew up in London’s Cockney East End. Placed in an orphanage as an infant, he dropped out of school at 14 to work as a shampoo boy in a small salon. After volunteering to fight for Israel in the Negev Desert in 1948, he returned to London to open his first salon. “If I had to be in hair, I was going to do it my way,” he told PEOPLE (read the magazine’s 1976 profile of the just-budding mogul here)."
