I'm sorry y'all have to deal with such people. I do not see how getting thousands of hairs to a particular shape and color does not fall under visual artistry.

how can hairdressing not be classed as visual art?
Hairdressers are artists, we just use a different type of canvas.

I am a hairdresser in Victoria, BC, Canada. People in my "trade" are often told we were "probably not smart enough to do anything else." In my average workday, I am a chemist, I am a psychologist, I am a doctor (identifying melanoma), I am a philanthropist and yes, I am an ARTIST and my profession was not my last choice, it was my first. And it is time for recognition of my craft - as Vidal would say - to identify me, and others like me, as a visual artist.
