How do you not allow vidals nomination?!!! That's crazy to me he was the man who changed the world with a pair of scissors !! He changed everything !! And not to think hairdressing is not a visual art is absolutely crazy!!! It's all Visual and artistic ! I wanna see some of these big CEOs create something with hair bet they can't! Because they are not visual creators!!!

Hairdressing is a skilled craft that takes years to perfect it as, an Art Form.
Visual, Science, natural ability, skill. Art.

Of course hair dressers are visual artists, especially the genius that was Sassoon!

As a Bachelor of Arts and hairdresser, are you serious? Who says the boundaries and stuffed shirts no longer exist in the art establishment. There is process, method, creation, aesthetic consideration, social commentary.... What more do you need? This man virtually single handed created androgyny in the 60's. Blinkered fools.

I'm a hairdresser and I do a lot of competition work. I feel like hairdressing to me is like art as you have to have an eye for it. It's creative

"To sculpt a head of hair with scissors is an art form". Quoted the mail online. Hairdressing is a truly visual art and Vidal changed the world with a pair of scissors

How much more visual do you want!?
Living sculpture that you can add depth and tone to with the aid of colour.....

This needs to go ahead and made aware to people that hairdressing is a visual art. We need this to be brought to light that we aren't like the 9-5 zombies of the world.
