Having the ability to look at someone and figuring out how their hair can make their face and body look its best is a vision
that you see in your head because of your eyes ( visual) and perform with your hands ( artist )
The exact same thing as seeing an animal and being able to draw it as you see it ( visual ) ( artist )
Looking at a piece of fabric and imagining a dress or pants or shirt
( visual)
Being able to make it with your hands and brain - Visual artist

Coloring, Cutting, Sculpting and Styling Hair is an Art of the Eye, the Mind, the Hands, and the Heart. Without our Eyes, we cannot be Successful in Creating a piece of Hair Art. Erego, HAIR ARTISTS ARE VISUAL ARTISTS INDEED. PLEASE RECOGNIZE US AS SUCH.❤️
Many Thanks

Please reconsider. Vidal Sassoon was one of the biggest influences in hair fashion. His hair creations continue to inspire hair designers from around the world.

The geometry, the shapes that Vidal created were absolutely works of art and changed the hair industry forever. He at very least deserves a nomination here.

His art was so visual it made the subject self obsessed.

i am a super proud hairdresser of just over 6 years. Things like this make me sad because we are in such an amazing and creative industry. We are artists and professionals and should be recognized as such. It's time to really take this industry back and show everyone how wrong they are. I love what I do and that's what's important to me.

Hair is an visual art. It's moveable, requires a keen eye and is created on moveable, pliable substance. It requires, skill, techniques, and most importantly a strong visual sense of the end design. Please apologize and include this great trade and this amazing man and artist, Vidal Sasson under the category of visual arts

There is no artist that compares with Vidal Sassoon in economics, philanthropy, visual artistry and putting the UK at the forefront of the fashion world. It would be criminal to overlook this man's accomplishments and not use his image on the the Twendy Pound note!.......

If you have had the opportunity to work for the company and be along this Man's journey for hairdressers it was true visual art....

As a stylist, my eyes are an integral part of my job. The ability to detect color and shape, and to visualize what will be on someone before it happens is also a necessity.
To say that hair dressing is not a visual art is, blatantly, a lie. You can't have blind colorists, or blind cutting experts. Their inability to visualize and conceptualize their work would be detrimental to themselves and the client.
It's insulting to us all, past and present, to say that this isn't a visual art.
