This is outrageous, not only a brilliant artist but globally one of the most recognized brands... You should be ashamed for denying this right...

How can anyone say that its not a visual art? Appearance enhancement is exactly just that! We create and enhance people visually. I'm appalled by such heinous words!

I have been a Hairdresser for 24+ years and I'm sure that my clientele have appreciated me being "visual" while I did there hair ! And I'm sure that the wife's of the powers that be at the Bank of England look for artistic Hairdressers when they need a haircut or color !! And the last thing you do at the hairdressers is LOOK At the work that was done !!! I'm an American HairDresser !

Vidal Sasson's visual art has always been my go-to for inspiration and it will be for future artists to come!

Hairstylists are visual artists. My Father, as well as Vidal Sassoon, were both builders and visual artists, who were my mentors and the biggest inspirations in my career.
