I was raised in this industry, my grandmother an amazing hairdresser would be so saddened to hear about this if she was here today. I've followed in her footsteps becoming a hairdresser myself and I can't understand how someone can believe this is not an art. May all hairdressers unite to sign this petition!

Our industry does not receive the credit and respect it deserves.

I insist, governing powers, that hair is indeed a visual expression.

They obviously don't know the time and knowledge it takes to create beautiful hair

Art is a discipline not recognized in its most obvious form: how you fold towels, how you speak to someone & yes, how the medium of paint is moved on a canvas to invoke feelings or communicate. Inviting all to recognize EVERY form of ART. Thank you.

ANYTHING dealing with beauty is dealing with aesthetics. How is this not a visual art form??

Not every artist uses paper and paint.
