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

#iamavisualartist

Absolutely hairdressers are visual artists. We PAINT hair color, we create sculptures with hair, and all together we create visually stimulating masterpieces daily. Anyone who thinks otherwise obviously didn't understand the industry, nor the art and creativity that is involved. I am a visual artist.

As a hairdresser and educator, I am proud to say that I am a visual artist!

If hairdressers are not visual artists, I dare you to get a cut by someone wearing a blindfold.

I am a visual artist! Vidal Sasson was the king of visual artists

I have been a hair model for almost 5 years and the things hairstylists have come up with just by looking at my face and not a picture or magazine have been some of the most spectacular art comparative to even the most prestigious galleries!

I am a visual artist.

I AM A VISUAL ARTIST!

Vidal Sassoon is the epitome of a visual artist. It's time hairdressers are recognized for their artistry.

I AM A VISUAL ARTIST. Everyday in the salon, cut , color , shape, style. I create art in hair everyday!

What a disgrace....!

To create shapes, dimension, and movement with a pair of scissors and a bowl of color takes an artistic eye, just like a painter does on canvas.

Only the most talented can be in this field. It takes skill, patience, & a knack for the VISUAL ART of hair and beauty.

I am a visual artist!

Cosmetology is a Visual Art. Period.

This is an insult. The passion , work , creativity, balancing lines , placement of color , a concept from each angle. Art is not just a paint brush but with said we designers hold a paint brush everyday and in our sleep

Shame on you Vidal Sassoon for snubbing Hairdressers!!! You're an bunch of morons but deciding Hairdressers do not belong too Visual Arts!!! Get with the program woman and men!
