Sassoon forever!

Hairdressing is very much a visual art among other things.

I pity the fact that these people can't recognize the true skill and talent involved in being a cosmetologist/hairstylist!

I'm a hairdresser and that makes me a visual artist.

I AM A VISUAL ARTIST !!!

Hair stylists create how you appear to look like, meaning we visually create art on your head. What more is visual art?

Hairdressing is a Visual Art and Vidal should be honored for Revolutionizing our Industry :)

What I do is Art based on geometry and you can see it .. Therefore it's a visual Art

Long live Sassoon!

I am a visual artist !

He deserves to be on it

What else can you call what we do for a living than visual art??

Vidal Sassoon is a visual artist and should be on the currency!!!! He has made his mark and is an inspiration for generations to come.

I took a Visual Performing Arts class at Florida Gulf Coast University. The book and class went over the importance of lines, color, harmony, balance, etc. Hairdressing is no doubt a form of visual art; it definitely fits the criteria!

I am a hairdresser. What I do is visual. And the man that inspired a generation of Visual Artists is Vidsl Sassoon. End of story.
