As the 2015 winner of Vidal Sassoon's Beauty Changes Lives Sholarship, I 100% agree that Vidal not only revolutionized hair but deserves recognition for his impact on the world and in the lives of others even after he is no longer with us. Hair is extremely technical and open for interpretation making it a true visual art.

He showed us the true art of styling and cutting I don't think some people show they're full potential in the art of hairdressing but I like to think I am creative and a artist in many ways and therefore the fact that he DESIGNED many haircuts and styles I think he should be at least listed!

Hair stylists are most definitely visual artist, they work with color, shape, texture, line, value, variety,balance, and even pattern last time I checked those are the element and principles of design being put to use! I'm an art educator in case your wondering.

Someone asked this people, who are they looking for to feel good and look good before of after they buy clothes before going to an event to complete the total look and who is responsible for main their physical image, beauty professionals touches hair, but arrangers hearts through raise self esteem.

This is outragious! Being a hairstylist takes a lot of passion, and for them to say what they did is extremely insulting!
