We hairdressers spend every day of our lives making everyone we meet feel better about themselves, how many times have you done that today?! BofE

He is one of the most respected in the "visual arts" in decades! Reverse this decision immediately!

Most bankers have terrible fashion and artistic sence as well as appalling haircuts so I'm not surprised they don't understand our craft. A lot of hairdressers I know including myself have been to art college and prefer the instant creative freedom and gratification that hairdressing gives. Endless possibilities for creating something unique and special be it for shoots, shows, seminars, teaching or our daily salon work which can turn somebody bland and miserable into somebody that oozes sex appeal and positive energy to take on the world in their transformed improved self. Is this not visually artistic as a visual artist.

Vidal was the inspiration of many talented hair designers. His art still lives on.

This is outrageous and it's sad we as an industry have to petition such cases.. Vidal and the entire hair dressing word are without a doubt contributors to visual art!

This is an outrage hair is such a visual art form and we have Vidal Sasson to thank for that. He changed the face of the hair industry in every way and turned the fashion world on it head. It's just as visual an art form as painting or being an architect.

Hair is absolutely art and the most beautiful kind of art. Creating shape and movement and lines with shears and color on a living canvas. How can that not be art?

Why does it seem clothing designers are the ones being recognized with honours etc? We are influenced by everything around us and Vidal was the original Icon and deserves recognition for his gifts to our industry.

All hairdressers create a new hairstyle colour cut upstyles. You look at them its visual art.
