Art is in the eye of the beholder. People say that hairdressers are many things and artistic is one of the comments made. You look at people's hair and that is visual. So visual artists we are!

Hairdressing is a 3 dimensional form of visual art, hope Mark Carney's hairdresser bears his opinion in mind when he next needs a haircut

I'm ashamed that my home country fail to recognise the importance of hairdressing as a visual art. Especially when London is one of the most creative cities in the world.

Hairstyling and dressing is visual art more than many other.
