Like every hairdresser I know ,myself included we pour out heart and souls into creating the best and visually appealing hair and to not call it art is ignorance.

<3

I am I visual artist and I love what I do.

To discrimate against one form of art while including so many other similar mediums is hypocritical and unfair.

YES

Art will prevail

Do you look at it and feel something? Then it is Art,

Hair is visual art. It draws/attracts the eye. Otis an expression of personality.

Try to live or get a fancy pants job without a haircut...

Visual artists are hair dressers

I am a visual artist, hair is my medium.

I was a begging hair dresser in 1970 when Vidal Sassoon was a big inspiration. His geometrical designed hair cut was one I wore in High School 1969.I always was inspired by the classes he offered to us.

I Am A Visual Artist I Am A Hair Stylist

Please reconsider your decision to exclude hairdressers as visual artists. Hairdressers visually analyze head shape and face shape, skin tone, and eye color, in order to sculpt and color hair to enhance each individuals appearance. Vidal Sassoon was one of the most innovative hair sculptors in history. Changing how we as hair artists approach our creations. Standing back and creating lines and angles in our minds to enhance a perfect jaw, or direct hair to point to our clients best features and detract from the less attractive ones. We are passionate visual artists, and should be recognized for that. Thank you for your time. Sincerely, Jayne Matzkin Hair Designer & Visual Artist

Yes I am a visual artist

I am a visual artist myself, colorist / stylist.. But Sassoon was an icon& most certainly a visual artist!
