Hairdressing IS indeed a visual art! As a aspiring hairstylist I sculpt, mold and manipulate hair on a daily basis. I sculpt and mold hair just a sculptor molds clay.

I create wearable art for the head, from hair. I am in a profession that should be included in the visual arts category.

I AM A VISUAL ARTIST , it is non negotiable to think otherwise. It is a fact . My hands are my tools and my eyes guide my brain to create every day.

Hairstyling requires technique, skill and patience, like all craft! Hairstyling is indeed a visual art!
