Vidal is an inspiration to us all hairdressers. He deserves to be a Visual Artist.

It begs the question - what does one have to do to be considered a visual artist other than have thei imagery transform how we relate to women, revolutionize personal self-expression and energize an entire industry through design, color and shapes. Anyone? Anyone? Thought so!!! **drops mic**

We are all artist. Our medium may not be acrylic or oil but we work on a canvas that is so much more dementional. I can not believe that you do not consider us artist. We are made up of all the qualities of an artist. Talent Passion and most of all Creativity.

Hairdesign is a visual art and Vidal Sassoon is most deserving of the £20 note!

I actually feel for the hairstylists who may take their time and creative energy on the people who chose to "snub" Vidal Sassoon ! Poor thinking and poor judgement. Creating anything out of hair which is a fabric , is the same as sewing , painting , or any other visual artistry . What else would you call in then???????

If hairdressing is not a visual art, then I am in love with the most under appreciated industry in the world.

He was a true artist and his medium was hair. His work will always be an inspiration.

This is absolutely ridiculous and the Bank should be ashamed of themselves.

A decision based on ignorance.
