Vidal sasson should be on the nomination list hairdressing is a visual art he chanhed my life and the lives of others he changed the world he created hair shapes thru the eyes and views of what he saw from architecture and made designs and different shapes he changed history and helped others without hes belief and change their wld not be such a thing as hairdressing as so profound as it is now he was a icon hairdressing is a visual art for tht of the hair we get our inspiration off artists off colors off paint off building shapes we are ARTISTS!!! and so was VIDAL SASSOON

Hair is visual art.

Vidal Sasson, this great man was an institution and he put British Hairdressing on a global platform. Many of us are great full to this true icon! Hairdressing is obviously a visual art.

If we are not visual artists, then what are we ? We are one of the most creative people it's a natural talent and flare too .. Like to see a banker try to create a hairstyle !!???

Hair is the medium which Hairdressers use to create art that you can visually see=Visual Artist #iamavisualartist

VIDAL Sassoon- man who united millions hairdressers.Trendsetter in hairdressing art.Why hairdressers visit London.

if sculptors are visual art, then hair is the fabric, material or canvas for the hairdressers to sculpt. Hair Sculptors sculpting hair to perfection, creating hair sculptures with all kinds of shape, form, texture and balance.

Vidal took hairdressing pop art and made classical visual art out of it! Excuse me, but you are gravely mistaken.

The British hair industry put the Great into Britain

Disappointed ..BIG TIME ...this beggars belief ! Just how can the ' Banks of England' justify that Vidal Sassoon's pioneering cutting technique as NOT visual arts?? duh ..Degrees, Angles, Shapes, Edges Lines, Layers .Colours, Shades, Depths .etc how long is a piece of string? need I go on? Vidal Sassoon's was well known for incorporating his much love. observation and respect for ( ( (Architecture and Buildings) into creating just that his 'Visual Art' designs by projecting ( His technique) via his work. thus creating ground breaking works of art in Hairstyle Shaping.hence the very reason he became ' Famous for?) What this so called ' Banks of England' have failed to understand is Hairstyling aside For many years this man has campaigned tirelessly, funded, so many projects and underprivileged charities etc even more so than the ( governments have had hot dinners) right up until his passing. and yet here we are in a situation where The Bank of England see fit to disrespect his work as not being visual art ?????????? I and no doubt thousands of others likewise cannot see any plausible reason why Vidal should be rejected for nomination. whom as one human being had done more than serve his time before his tragic passing. as echoed by Eden Sassoon THIS IS NOT OK. Common sense really ...justice must prevail. Respect and may you continue to R.I.P Vidal Sassoon.

To deny Vidal this legacy is at the least, disrespectful. His achievements alone speak of his worthiness, and to call his work "not a visionary art" is unacceptable.

Please reconsider your decision about VIDAL SASSOON being on the new twenty pound note, Vidal is the most iconic hairdresser ever, he created art with scissors and brought happiness to millions of humans .

Disgraceful

I knew Vidal. Worked with him .An inspiration! He had VISION. He set fashion trends and helped define a decade of art and culture. THAT is an iconic visual artist !

The man changed an industry upside-down using principles of architecture and design and mathematics. Influencing generations of creative people well beyond the boundaries of hairdressing
