I think this is a very disrespectful statement about a man who has shaped an industry offering a large chunk of income into the economy, help and support to those in times of desperate need and also a massive understatement to a much needed trade! Absolutely disgusted and enraged!

Vidal created art in so many ways. Hair is a medium to hair artist. We create what some could never dream of and people wear it for the world to see. He is a visual artist.

Cosmetology is literally multi media art and if you cant see why then quite frankly you dont know what art is

Hairdressing is an industry I am so proud to be apart of and Vidal Sassoon is a total inspiration.

I am a licensed hairstylist and Sassoon trained and certified! Vidal Sassoon certainly deserves to be included in this list!! How absurd
