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

#IAMAVISUALARTIST

I just wonder how great they think fashion spreads in magazines and on runways would look if their hair wasn't done.

Hairdressing is a visual arts craft that touches people's lives everyday.

Hairdressing is art, creating shapes, symmetry, balance, the flow, visually we need to see what needs changing to create an elegant look, just like a mason would craft his sculpture, just like a glass blower would shape his glass, just like Vincent Van Gogh would paint his paintings

Yes they are

I am a makeup artist and a lash stylist. People who come to me feel more beautiful when they leave because of what I create...living art.

Rubbish

Vidal trained Santa Monica 2006, Vidal was truly a visionary

This is discusting! Can't believe such a creative trade that has been around for centuries can be shunned like that!

I AM A VISUAL ARTIST

I wish to sign the petition

We are artists.

There should be no question whether hair dressers are visual artists, of course they are!

Recognizing the craft of hairdressing as a visual art form!

Lunatic Fringe Salon work with Steven Robertson

Great man! Great vision! Brought so much beauty to the world! Deserves recognition!

Hairdressing is a visual art, we create pieces of art and architecture on our customers heads.

I stand with Vidal #IAmAVisualArtist
