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

We definitely are visual artists!

The fact that they can even not be called visual artists is the joke. I bet the judges go to the same haircutters they have gone to their whole lives to make sure they visually look right.

hairdressiing an art the hair is our canvas.

Vidal Sassoon should then be knighted ! Overturn this decision!!

Hairstyling is absolutely a visual art. One that is extremely important to a persons self esteem and sense of beauty. Walking art!

hairdresding is a visual artform and VS should be on the £ 20 note

Our craft is a visual art.

Hairdressing is a visual art we work with 3 dimensional subject

Hairstyling is most definitely a "Visual Art!"

OK if you are reading this there is good chance you care, no point in repeating all the wonderful points made in previous posts. Team, lets band together and repost + repost +...........

Hairdressers are undervalued. The impact they have environmentally, psychologically and physically on society will never be appreciated or acknowledged.

I am a visual artist

hairdressing is an art form

Hairdressing is a very visual art. Hair is the only medium that moves, grows and changes at the same time and people can see it every day when looking in the mirror.

The man was an artist and a visionary in the truest sense!!!

Outrageous!

outrageous that this is even having to be signed. Of course hair stylists are visual artists. We create shapes, and textures, and colours. What's the difference between doing that on hair or on material?!

Definitely

An absolutely dissapionting descicion.

Nothing makes me prouder than being part of such an incredible industry , and sasson has changed the way we all think about hair and what it can do for people this will last way beyond out years and many more the man literally 'changed the world with a pair of scissors' he will continue to be the ultimate visual artist long after we pass
