UK leads be world on hairdressing. zVidal is example to all. Why find a way to exclude his nomination???? Let's see who's made the list and how they compare to Vidals amazing legacy. Ignorance of a major UK industry again, from the people who should know better.

I see myself and every other hairdresser in the world as visual artists. those that have imprinted on the world in their era deserve recognition. In particular Vidal Sassoon who empowered women to explore fashion and hair styles that eventually changed the way women were seen, behaved and looked. Resulting in evolution. The technical element of haircuts, colour application and dressing of hair is as creative and craft like as painting, designing and building. Our industry is as if not more imaginable, creative, elegant, inspiring, invigorating, uplifting, captivating and intriguing as any in the world. We are visual craftsmen and women.

I am surprised that Vidal would not be at the top of their list with all that he has done, not only visually but on a a much larger scale, based on who he was as a person and how he changed not only people in the profession, but anyone who ever met him or heard him speak.
