the late mr.sassoon is the ONLY reason why i picked this field for my career. without us VISUALIZING how a cut or color would look on your hair, we would all walk around looking like you rolled out of bed fighting with a box of crayons

Please reconsider Vidal Sassoon's nomination representing hairdressing as a form of visual arts, which it certainly is.

Vidal Sassoon was a master was a total visual artist. He created hairstyles based on architecture. What could be more visual than that?

Vidal Sassoon is a British artistic treasure and would be an iconic choice for currency.

We are absolutely visual artists, how dare you down play our profession especially for a Englishman whom is one of the most reputable people in the world. Even in the afterlife he still affects us everyday, look at you own hair, your hairdresser uses what he created!
