As a hairdresser I am out raged, that hairdressing is not viewed as art form. The reason I became a hairdresser was for the simple reason of creations!- creating colour formulas and shapes on someone daily is the most visual form of art. Yours Patrick Fitzpatrick, Sydney Australia

Most of the 60s visual art was created by Vidal, it's the gown you never take off!! You look at you partners hair, you son and daughters, your friends and more, they all look the way they look by the complimenting of a visual haircut created by hairdressers!

Being a hairdresser behind the chair several hours a day creating life changing looks and establishing signature fashions on hair like Vidal did deserves this award !!! Being a hairdresser myself Vidal is and always will be a major inspiration in my and many of my colleagues life !!!

Obviously whoever decided that Vidal Sassoon was not an artist has no concept of art

My work as a hairdresser makes people's style, it's what they where everyday and Vidal was and will always be an inspiration!!!! To not include him is biased
