Vidal Sassoon snubbed for new £20 note as "Hairdressers are NOT Visual Artists"

All hairdressers are artists......the things that can be done and with no vision these things would never come to be!

Over the last 30 years in the Hairdressing industry, I have worked with some of the most talented, artistic and influential people that have carved and pushed boundaries in this multi billion pound industry. It has shaped it's way through the history of Fashion, culture and lifestyle . Recognition has for many years has overlooked the pure genius and talent that has created the hairdressing industry that it has become today.

Ask every women if hairdressers are artists

Hairdressing is a visual art. It is an expression of thought and emotion like a drawing, painting or sculpture. It gives individuals the opportunity to be unique.

I have been in the industry 25 years and definitely think hairdressing should become known as a Visual Art

I am a proud hair artist and am outraged! Please consider Vidal a visual hair artist today.

My name is Angelica Grasso and i am a Trend Vision 2015 student gold winner my 18 years of having to go to school was very difficult for me i never thought I would find a career because of my learning disability. But when it came to hair I had no problem with it because it's a visual art I know because I can only learn and understanding by watching and for years I've watched my mother do hair and learned better by watching then reading a book or writing an essay to me hair is and will always be a visual art.
