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

#iamavisualartist #braidsbychastine

Mr. Sassoon revolutionized our industry, he is & always will be a major inspiration to all hairstylists. I would love to see this exclusion turned around.

I am a visual artist!!!

Vidal Sasoon is a Visual Art! 100%

Vidal made the world see the true art of our profession, , articulated the import ants of our scissors and comb, plus vision of what we can create with hair, a beauty all of it's own!!Hair is a canvas the artist in us creates!!

Hairdressing is s visual art what else could it be

Hairdresser. Someone who changes the visual appearance of a persons hair.

#I am a Visual Artist

Lets not give up!

Having dedicated 10 years service to the Vidal heritage, I, and many of my colleages, find it difficult to accept hairdressing is not a creative art form.

We are visual artists. In every shape and form. We create, is that not what art is? Creating?

Sassoon is art!

I agree fully!!!

I as a hair stylist am extremely disappointed in what I have read. I'm signing this petition because my work on a day to day basis has me creating beautiful colours and amazing textures on a canvas. This canvas is an individual. Others including themselves "visually" see beautiful work. Not only do I including other stylists make their clients look beautiful, we also make them feel beautiful. That alone should categorize this as visual art. A smile is the same in every language. We work extremely hard for what we love to do and this needs to be recognized. #iamavisualartist

Phil rocks....artists come in so many ways!!

Outraged at the refusal of Vidal , U.S. Mere hairdressers as you so eloquently put it are in fact visual artists , utter snobbery !!!!

How do you feel when you're having a good hair day? You don't think the hairdresser responsible for that is an artist? Get Real.

I absolutely agree hair dressing is a visual art, what else would it be?

When this passes, I will hang h
