I identify myself as a hair artist. I'm a sculptor when it comes to cutting, and a painter when it comes to coloring.

We are all visual artists. The entirety of our craft is based on visuals. Hair is something people SEE. It is an art form. Just as painting, sculpting, drawing, acting, etc. is.

Artists visualize and create out of nothingness. It is pure insanity to think that U.S. Hairdressers are not visual artists...so then your hair is not visually appealing to YOU or anyone that looks at you? We are artists who have adapted and overcome the trials of time, ever since the ancient Egyptians all the way up until today. Certainly one of the oldest artistic professions that exist!

Vidal Sassoon was not only a visual artist but a creative genius! He should be honored as such.
