I love Alexander McQueen but he does not influence the life of every man woman and child in the first world the way Vidal Sassoon has. We all owe our haircuts to him.

Hair dressing is all forms of art. Sculpting, painting, and a walking billboard of visual art.

Ignorance needs to be highlighted! being a hairdresser takes creative skills more so than some artists who throw paint on canvas or construct bricks in a pile!

Hairdressing is absolutely a visual art! Every hairdresser is an artist with their own unique style!

Anybody who is of the opinion that our industry is not a visual art obviously does not understand hairdressing and should therefore have no right to say such nonscense

disgusting belittling a career so many have worked hard, to become masters of there art and trade, how can it not be a visual art when its how we express ourselves. how can a non visual art make the cover of vogue
