Hair dressers are visual artists and they contribute hugely to the fashion world. With out hair dressers people would look like monkeys. It's time that the society learn to respect this trade.

There is nothing more "visual" AND "artistic" than the structure, creativity and inspiration that Vidal Sassoon instilled on the hairdressing community. What you see in your mirror every morning would be NOTHING if I wasn't for his contributions and trail blazing! Not acknowledging hairdressing as a "visual art" is pure poppy cock!!! Is art EVERYWHERE and in EVERYTHING?!

Absolutely hair is a visual art. Especially Vidal Sassoon and the legacy he created. Hair color is painting, cutting and styling is sculpting, hair stylists are creating living art every day.

You only have to look at the iconic shapes created you Vidal to know this is a visual art that inspires . You cannot have a shape that is not visual!

Hairdressing is not JUST a business ... Vidal turned the industry in something more. I work in Sassoon and teach people from around the world how to create shapes into hair and express their creativity . If wasn t a visual Art , I would probably have JUST a job . Thank you

Vidal Sassoon created art he was an artist only because he saw it on a person's head doesn't mean it's not art. Please add him on to the nomination he deserves it.
