Of course hairdressing is a 'visual art', you see it everyday on members of the general public!

Of course they are visual artists. Popularity should never blind people to the value of hair design and art.

Color is our paint, shears are our tool, hair is our canvas. Hairdresser are visual artists.

Hairstylists are artists! Anything creative, beautiful, original is art at its finest.

Zoie's ability to change the appearance of a person in one sitting is a true display of artistry.

My whole career I've honed my craft to compliment and enhance bone structure, face shape and hair texture and then my muse looks into the mirror and loves herself, if that's not art than my hairdressing brother and sisters and I are fakes.

He revolutionised hairdressing and changed people's concept of hairdressers. He is the godfather of all hairdressers. The first celebrity hairdresser.

Our canvas is hair, it's different from paper or a white canvas, it's a visual art. Balayage for example is hand painting onto someones hair the technique comes from the creativity in our minds. Just because our canvas is hair and is different doesn't mean it's not a visual art.
