Vidal Sassoon was by all means a visual artist, and anyone who thinks otherwise is diluted!

He changed the way everyone saw hairstyle. My generation of the 60s loved it. We embraced a new view because of him. A new freedom of style and ease.

I am appalled that anyone would think that hairdressers are not artists!!! Without hairdressing, fashion would not be complete! "Not a visual art my arse!"

How quickly people judge with little knowledge of what it is we truly do. We don't create our passion and art with our eyes closed.

Hairdressing is a visual art and Vidal Sassoon should be not the bank note.

One could be only a fool or blind to the effect a hairdresser has on a persons heart and image. That is beautiful, and to quantify it as such defines it as Art inherently making hairdressers Visual Artists

It's disgraceful you don't think of this wonderful man who is a artist and genius as someone to be recognized

How much more visual can hairdressing get? It's an art, an art that makes people feel great about themselves, that instills confidence and pride. Vidal Sassoon was a master of our art and should be honoured for it.
