The visual for clothing designers starts with a muse or the model body face and of course the hair. They design an outfit to cover the body while "the air" is still a major part of the over all visual.

Very much a visual art! Honestly, just because you go to school for it, does not mean you can do it... Vidal changed hair across the world forever:)

In what way are hairdressers not visual artists? We only craft and mold peoples treasured locks into the crown they are happy to wear every day!! If our job is not visual or artistry then I'm not quite sure what is

Vidal Sassoon changed hair and turned it into a visual art form for everyone from then on. He revolutionised a whole industry and the world recognises his significance. We should be celebrating all who have helped make Britain Great.

This is an outrage. More than garments, hair and the styling of it, is a more integral part of a person's personal expression.
