Hair is a canvas that I use as a medium daily. Ever time I touch a client they leave with a personal piece of art from me.

Hairdressers are by far one of the most passionate + awesome visual artists on the planet. Hair is a visual art. Hairdressers create art with hair. Hairdressers are visual artists. Period.

I am a hairdresser and Sassoon has a huge impact on my career. His words and teachings keep motivated and inspired, and my mentor worked for his salon in Chicago and was able to pass down the Sassoon knowledge to me. Hair is a visual art. The client and other onlookers are constantly looking at and enjoying the hair of others. And for the artist, it is highly visual as we use our eyes to determine if our shape, color, and texture is where we are aiming for. This decision needs to be overturn. We are visual artists, it is a visual art, and hairdressing needs the credit it deserves!

Hair is visual art, one of the oldest forms of visual art. Really this seems pretty straight forward.
