I am a hairstylist with a Bachelor Degree in art. Watch any runway and tell me hair isn't visual art.

There are only a few people in this world who have changed the face of an entire industry & Vidal Sassoon was one of those people! He is an innovator & artist in every sense of the word. To leave out someone who is such an important part of the world of artistry, business & hairdressing is shame.

Hairdressers are 100% visual artists. The technique and skill would be nothing without the ability to invision the best end result. Making the work of hairdressers living visual artwork.

Sassoon I'd most definitely a Visual Artist. You should be ashamed of yourself. Shame on you. Bank of England! You have such vast knowledge and information on almost anyone and this great Visual Artist being from England, you should know this.

Of course we are visual artists! How do you think we come up with the amazing, creative artistry we create? This petition, I hope, makes a difference!

Vidal Sassoon was legendary and did so much. I happen to be good friends with his daughter Eden who also is doing motivating things as to this LEGACY. Vidal needs his name on this nominations list for all of his lifetime contributions!!
