This is not only unjust, but a profoundly ignorant stance to take. Sometimes I wonder at the lack of common sense among our country's higher echelons. They never seem to fail to disappoint.

Hair dressing is a passion and a skill. Everyone has their hair done and people take us for granted and look past us as professionals. Here's to the future of hair dressing!!!!

If hairdressing is not considered a visual art, then I don't know what is. And Vidal Sassoon was an amazing artist that deserves to be recognized.

Of course hair styling is a visual art. As a random person who appreciates art in all of its various forms, I know hair is, and can be an art form. The wonderful woman who colors and styles my hair, and many other people's hair in our area, is one of the most creative minds I've ever met.

We the lifers in this profession at 1 point in our lives have had to make the sacrifice to not care that people dont respect our profession as a "real job"... even tho many of us has had more joy, stability & income then a lot of our social circle around us.

There are many hairstylists that see a vision when working on their clients! Many are quite talented at their craft!

I devote my life to the art of my craft and I would love for it to be recognized in society as a visual art. This is how it support my family, and this is how I express my creativity. Every client I touch is a blank canvas.

The hair is our canvas. We are the artists. We envision. We feel. We create. We make people feel beautiful.
This is not only unjust, but a profoundly ignorant stance to take. Sometimes I wonder at the lack of common sense among our country's higher echelons. They never seem to fail to disappoint.
