Vidal Sassoon snubbed for new £20 note as "Hairdressers are NOT Visual Artists"

I know what an artist is, while painting since I was 4 years of age. Winning my first first place award at 7, and many more to follow. I have a pretty good grasp as to what an artist is. I am a hairstylist, today and everyday I paint on a canvas of hair, blending colors, creating shape, and new adventurous designs all the time. There is not a single head of hair that is the same. I challenge the reader to Google avant gaurd and just look, look at the hair and then we can discuss whether or not hair is an art form. With love, Your stylist, Cally Mae
