Vidal Sassoon changed the worlds perception of art in hair and made London the hair centre of the world..and it is still regarded as the place top discover the best hairdressing IN THE WORLD.. all due to Vidal and the revolution he started. England owes him and what he's done for the country for over 50 years!,,and he has generated a lot more that 20 pounds sterling of income to England!!!

He is a legend who still to this day inspires people with the images he created. It is disgusting that you can say hairdressers are not visual artists

Hairdressing IS a visual art. A shape, a colour, a texture is created that be can seen. But more importantly, the visual art, that we as stylists create, is on a human being that boosts not only their confidence but their esteem.

Hairdressing is the epitome of visual art. It inspires and can change someone's whole outlook.

If hairdressing is not a visual art, then what is?
Don't you have any women on this committee? It's ALL about visual art.

Hairdressers like Vidal are skilled, they help people make the best of their features, hide things they are not so proud of and colour to compliment skin tone, they keep clients for life in some cases. I am tired of this inverted snobbery, no they are not duping the public, shooting animals or defrauding stocks and shares and are not promoted by a bevy of financiers and backers! Their work is on public display, for scrutiny and pr to be seen. Doesn't that make them visual artists?

The corporate world doesn't know much about our art or Vidal Sassoon for that matter.

This decision by shows the Bank of England are just absolut CUNTS . How you can say that our industry dose not fall within the visual arts . It is so dissapponting . It's surely the only one of all the visual arts that is on display every day that member of the public can view whether they know they are viewing it or not
