Up there with major artists

Employed at Vidal Sassoon Madison Ave NYC. Sarted my fantastic journey with Vidal and without the foundation I received my creative eye would be elusive. My coaches guided me to established the formula of design that is part of my creative confidence. I have been in our profession for 50 years. It has given me the opportunity to help so many clients enjoy their hair through selective complimentary designs. Thank you Vidal. Lee Rago

Vidal Sassoon is a visual artist inspiration!

I am a Hairdresser and i am a Visual Artist !

Very short sighted and inequitable. I urge the Bank of England to reconsider.

Artists are represented in all forms. The only difference is the canvas they choose to express themselves. Hair is not excluded. Mr Sassoon not only championed the effort to promote hairstylists as Artists but also bring awareness to a profession that is older and more deeply rooted than most. There aren't too many forms of Art that are more visual than hair due to its impact in society, community and culture.

Hairdressers create the only visual art that we actually have with us at all times!
