Vidal Sassoon snubbed for new £20 note as "Hairdressers are NOT Visual Artists"

Not only is Vidal Sassoon a visual artist, he has touched and inspired so many hearts and souls. I would feel confident that he has done as much good in the world as mother Theresa or even lady Diana.

I hope and pray that the late Vidal Sassoon will receive the recognition be deserves!

Hairdressing IS a living example of visual art. Get your facts straight!

We are artist too

Hair is visual art. Wearable art in any atmosphere, lifestyle hair is art!

Hairdressing is the truest form of visual arts! And Vidal changed the industry forever!

Hairdressing is clearly a visual art.

This is an outrage! He changed history!

Hairdressers are artists!!! Take a good look at our talent!!!

Viva Vidal#!!!

Of course hairstyling is a visual art! We make that special connection between the inner expression of yourself visible to the outside world! Hair is all about visuals!

I am a visual artist & proud to be. Vidal Sassoon inspired me and many others in my industry

Hair stylist ARE visual artist. We are visual by nature, it drives us. What we do, is purely visual.

Talented stylists are visionaries and visual artists.

Very disappointed by the Bank of England

Vidal Sassoon all the way !!!! How dare they dismisse such an iconic legend.

This is disrespectful and uneducated. Vidal Sassoon was and still remains an icon! He was and still is the most respected artist in the beauty industry! Shame on you! I sign this petition to bring Vidal back and read his biography or watch his documentary.

Have some respect for the best hairdresser in the world. And for a man who changed the face of fashion

Leggo

Vidal Sasoon should be considered .
