I have stopped painting and drawing over the years because my days are spent creating art in hair. I believe this is my passion in art that i get to have walked around in day to day life. Truly the best platform and art show ever created

Vidal Sassoon was a pioneer of geometric hairdressing. Using internal shapes to to create dynamic looks and was an artist in the very essence of the word. All hairdressers are visual artists

We live in colour and see in shapes. How can we be anything less than artists?

I full-heartedly believe in the FACT that hairdressers/hairstylists are in fact artists of our craft!

I, myself, am a hairstylist, whose way was paved by artists like the late Vidal Sassoon. I learned almost everything I know about hair/hairdressing from teachers who were trained and educated by his teachings. Countless stylists have been inspired by this great man and it is with this inspiration that we have achieved success and fulfillment through our craft. A lot of passion goes into what we do. And in return, our art gives us satisfaction, joy and a sense of purpose. It is also with this same passion that Vidal Sassoon and countless hairstylists all over the world have created works of art that is undeniably worthy of being honored and highly acknowledged.
