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

All hairdressers should be recognized for their talent...I consider their work visual art form...

My daughter is a hair artist.

So not true!!!!!!!

I am a visual artist!!

I am a visual artist.

I am a visual artist

Guck the pool

The ART of hair is certainly a visual art. Hair styles and trends are achieved by creative beings using many different tequniques and tools. Fashion is a whole package from head to toe, not only involving clothing, but also HAIR, makeup and accessories. Vidal is an idol to many hairstylist's in this world and is a world renown VISUAL ARTIST !

Stylists definitely create art; it's simply art that is wearable.

Have the person that said this tell it to their hairdresser and see just how artistic their hair cut is.

This is what we committed our lives to, creating art and breaking the rules of hair. Thank God we did or we all would have the Beatles bowl cuts! @_@

I AM A VISUAL ARTIST, Just as Vidal Sassoon was! Vidal DESERVES to be chosen. He is the father of hair cutting as we know it today. What is more visual than hair? It's part of every person, and it certainly IS an art form that I work with every day. ~ Maryl Velbeck, Visually Artistic Hair Stylist. #iamavisualartist

My hair has always been the one part of my appearance that truly matters to me. It directly effects my confidence and my self expression. I could be wearing sweat pants and a baggy t-shirt, but my hair still needs to be styled and "presentable". I frequently change my hair cut, colour and style to fit whatever I am trying to express as my personality and show who I am. And the art and craft of hairdressing is not an easy one. It takes years of training and practice, and you must constantly be updated on the latest techniques, styles, colour lines and products. It is a beautiful craft that men and women alike and people from all cultures and walks of life, participate in, depend on, and appreciate. Not to mention hair styling has played a prominent role in every culture for thousands of years. If someone were to dress as a historic person, the first give away in recognizing who they are dressed as is their hair style. And on that note, any one who uses costumes such as dancers, actors/actresses, models, use hair styling To fit their role. To say that hairdressing is not an art is blasphemy and plain ignorant.

If you don't look good WE don't look good..

Hairdressers are absolutely visual artists!!!

I hope this goes through. Such a legend, sad to see people can't appreciate the art.

He's one of the reasons I am who I am today!! And I am a visual artist!

i am a visual artist and I have attended several Vidal Sassoon courses. They are a revolutionary company who started the art of hair dressing. Bank of England, please reconsider your statements.

Hairstylists are Visual Artist! Vidal Sassoon chang

All hair dressers are artist
