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

Art comes in so many different forms. The one thing that all art has in common is that shapes and color are manipulated to create something visually interesting and appealing to those viewing. As hairdressers we create art everyday with hair, giving people the confidence they need to conquer whatever comes their way. I am a visual artist!

I am a visual artist!!

Everything we do is art, visually brought to life with our movements, thoughts, application,our visions!

Wow, my hairstylist has done some crazy shit to my hair (in a good way). She is a visual artist!!!!

What I do to hair with my hands and scissors is art, just as what Picasso did with his paint brush is art. #IAmAVisualArtist

My hair dresser is a visual artist that's for sure.

Us Hairstylists are some of the most visual of artists! We deal with hair, hair grows on your head, after removing clothes and any sort of art adornment from the body, the only piece of art we have left is our hair! Hair frames the face, people look at your face, everyday! It's all visual! We are visual artists!!!

I Am a hairdresser and most definitely a visual artist, all thanks to vidal sassoon. who helped me realize the industry is an art.

almost to the goal! keep signing! let's make a statement!

My art is visual. It's many people's crown and glory. People wear their hair every day,they style it, it's their personality, they light up when they receive compliments...my art is one of the most tangible of the visual arts. #iamavisualartist

As artist, we're in the business of seeking truth within ourselves, tried and tested, to prove that passion prevails. #iamavisualartist
