Turning hair/faces/nails into stunning works of art is a telltale sign of a visual artist. We work our fingers till they ache and are sore and wake up happy to do it all over again. We work for freeing a Sunday sometimes just do do an avant garde project. We work fashion week to make the designers look complete. Do not discount us. We are very much here and we are very much visual artists

Not only was he a visual artist but a pioneer in visuals for the head and face, That then inspired fashion to create the Mod look.

Vidal Sassoon was 100% visual artist! I believe we are all born visual artists, who is to say that a fashion designer is opposed to a hairdresser. We work with our hands, minds and hearts to create art that is worn every day, captured in colorful imagery for all to appreciate. We work in the fabric of hair, in textures, colors and shapes. We hairdressers ARE visual artists! Thank you for your re-consideration of our beloved Vidal Sassoon.

Hair dressing is a 'Visual Art'. None can say otherwise, hair dressers are visual artist they utilize their mind and hands to create amazing artistic work!
