Vidal Sassoon snubbed for new £20 note as "Hairdressers are NOT Visual Artists"

this is the most insane thing I have ever heard

Beauty is Art!

Hairdressing is all visual. A blind man should not cut hair.

Hairdressing most certainly is a visual art.

If you saw what we could do with hair you would call it art. I promise.

Vidal Sassoon deserves to be nominated for people of Historic significance for visual art!! He changed the face of hairdressing as an art form

Stylist are definitely visual artist plus we work on moving targets who have opinions & attitudes

This decision is a travesty! To deny a world changing leader in fashion and design from England is completely unfounded

Hairdressers are visual artists.

There's only one Vidal Sassoon

im not a hairdresser but I'm in shock !! 100 percent they are visual artists!

Typical of people not appreciating hairdressing!!!

Mr SASSOON influenced millions of people with his vision and art. We will always be in his debt for helping soo many people see hair in a whole new way... thank you sir.

For any that think hairdressers are not visual artists just google NAHA 2015. Look at the finalist work and tell me that's not art!

Hairdressing should be giving more respect as a profession

Hairdressers are visual artists and you see our creations everywhere you look

Come on!

I find this completely insulting. Vidal Sassoon should be honoured

Recognize Vidal and the Hairdressing Industry as a visual art.

this sooooooo needs to happen!
