We as hairstylist have to be considered visual artists because everyone's head shapes are different. One haircut done one way won't work for everyone. We have to consult with clients and look at what we are dealing with to get a better understanding of how we are going to get theirs and our desired results. That's all visual and is completely different for every person who sits in one of our chairs.

Art is about creating something beautiful regardless of what the canvas it's being painted on is.
we hair stylists ARE visual artists. Our clients hair is like a canvas we paint on a change colors. Coloring hair is not just slapping color on, you have to visualize where u want to see the different colors and place them accordingly. I would like to see some of these people saying that we aren't visual artists try an color someone's hair, I bet they would have no clue what to do. It's not as easy at it looks.

Absolutely, hair dressing is a visual art. Why wouldn't it be? It's creative, wonderfully visual, highly expressive, unique, inspiring, emotive... if it's not art... then what is it? What is art after all?

I am a hair stylist from Australia. I am a visual artist. Vidal Sassoon inspired me to join my craft. He is an inspiration to thousands around the world, I believe he is the father of modern hair styling and deserves recognition.

Of course all of us hair stylist are visual artist. Seems incompetent to say we are not. Hair is part of fashion. Hair is also our most important accessory, we wear it everywhere. It makes a statement.

When I was younger in high school I always skipped all of my classes to go to art class. I was obsessed and I wanted to continue an artistic career outside of school. I loved hair and experimenting with it and wanted to go to beauty school. My grandparents frowned upon it and said that hairdressing isn't a career and that I needed to go to college. I went to a local college and I absolutely hated it. I had no idea what I wanted to go to school for and wasted my time. I followed my heart and went to beauty school and once again I feel completely obsessed and in love with what I was doing. It is absolutely an art and a passion. The things that I have created with color styling and cutting. I feel like all of my artistic abilities that have been stowed away for years are spilling out and I want to take my career as far as I can. I feel like I have been spit on by reading what the bank has responded with. How sad for them to be such snobs and look down on our artistic abilities
