Vidal Sassoon snubbed for new £20 note as "Hairdressers are NOT Visual Artists"

Whe are more than ART!

What a load of rubbish, hairdressing is no different to oil painting!

It's an outrage. Stupid fucking bureaucrats Even my 7 year old can understand its a visual art. Idiots

We are artists!

I am an artist thru many mediums... I choose most deliberately to express myself thru the sculpture of hair. Sassoon inspired this deep passion on so many levels. It's discrimination-

.... Banks rule the world ! That's a shame.. Good luck and I give you all my support ... From France...

Changed hairdressing

Vidal Sassoon was clearly a visual artist who transferred geometrics and visual Art to hairdressing. He absolutely deserves a place on the list.

We are creative artists

I am signing this petition as I believe it is a gross injustice that Vidal Sassoon is Not considered a visual artist!!!!!!

This man, changed the course of history. Hairdressing is visual, textile and living. Those who are in opposition to this notion go Vidal Sassoon's contribution to art are the most ignorant of the modern times. I am appalled at this objection to have his presence on the bill. His contribution to hair , fashion, art and architecture are fad beyond compassion an artist who works only on one main topic. Saason was a humanist, a master of the English language, a philanthropist, entrepreneur and above all the greatest hair artists to have lived.

Hairdressing is visual art and takes an enormous amount of skill and natural ability to become top of your game....Put Vidal Sassoon on the list!!!!! He a legend!!!!!!!
