Beauty is in they eye of the beholder. Hairdresser see things beyond whats in front of them. We imagine what movement, shape,& color our hair "canvas" can do. Art is all around us,I just happen to do it in hair. I am a visual artists.

If you truly believe hairdressers aren't visual artists I invite you to attend an important event after visiting a bad one. You can pin a period of history down to near enough the decade by the hair. I'm afraid ladies and gentlemen (I suspect mostly gentlemen), that you've been caught in possession of a snobbish and outdated list. I heartily suggest updating it.
