Vidal Sassoon snubbed for new £20 note as "Hairdressers are NOT Visual Artists"

Vidal Sassoon was an artist like no other. He revolutionized the world of hair. ~he and the industry needs to be recognized.

Visual Artist' and someone who creates fashion for the head not being recognized. PIFFLE Hairdressing as it is known is as visual as it gets with the money that is spent by the creative number of you across the country. Hair and Fashion are as one and Vidal Sassoon his name continues to flow around the world He is a living ledgend and is known as Churchill-Thatcher- Napoleon-Thomas Hardy-Marilyn Monroe Come on Bank of England use your head not your lack of named knowledge from around the UK & World harold leighton

In art, we follow principles of line, form, volume, color, space, and texture. In hair, we follow principles of line, form, volume, color, space, and texture. I am disappointed to learn that we as hair artists are not being recognized for the visual artists we are. Especially a master artist such as Vidal. How saddening, and how unreasonable.

I never knew the art that lived in me, until I started fantasy hair on myself and friends. The outcome of art in your hair makes every day more colorful.

If Vidal Sassoon isn't placed on the 20 Euro note we will come after the BOE's reputation, and wage a cultural-war of sorts that we will win, by fully illuminating the Bankster as a whole including it's affiliates. Since you've refused to grace our proposal with dignity and an unbiased ethical understanding, we will have no other viable option. Consider this BOE's last opportunity.

We are artists creating beauty and imagery through sculpting, mixing, creating, inovating and painting what is our canvas- hair. . #iamavisualartist

I am a visual artist!

Vidal's cuts are a work of art! Hair cuts are an accessory to our face. It compliments your face & works with your texture for a polished look. Hair is the key item next to makeup. Been a Vidal follower & user for years!!!! He is the # 1 leader in this industry & he set the stage. He made Twiggy known by her pixie cut in the early 60's. He is a Icon & should be nominated on all levels!!!!

We are visual artist.. Vidal proved that with his admirable work as many of us do each day with our artist flare in our work.

I am a Visual Artist.....and Vidaal Sassoon was The First....#GAMECHANGER

such a disgrace ... We take people and create either the character we see or the character whom they would like to be !

all artists are visual artists...❤️

At some point in our lives, we need to look outside of our box to the bigger picture. Vidal Sassoon was a visionary, he elevated our industry and individuals to a whole new art forma!!!!!!

If it weren't for this man I would not be a success for the last 37 years in Canada. He is a global icon!! I use his teachings everyday and he has taught me to be a visual artist and well respected in my art.

Hair Dressers are verymuchso Visual Artist.

this man changed this industry forever

Hairdressing is visual art!
