What we as hairdressers do is art, a body of work that we put our hands on and create masterpieces.

It is quite obvious that he should be included in this list. If hairdressing is not a visual art then what is it ?

Appalling, if fashion designers are included then fashion designers of the hair should also we welcomed. Art has no boundaries that is the first thing you are taught about art. The original brief should have been more specific if they excluded art using certain materials. This ruling should be overturned

Vidal Sassoon was not only a revolutionary artist, he also served in the military AND contributed a great deal to the movement. I ultimately believe he deserves respect and recognition.

I AM a visual artist. My medium is hair. My material is hair. My canvas is hair. I carve, mold, and sculpt hair into shapes. I illuminate and create depth in hair by painting it. My art is not simply stationary or printed. It has movement and moves.

Vidal Sassoon Must be considered in the list of visual artist, he is an inspiration to all hairdressers in the world and their work should be recognized.

Hairdressers are visual artists. End of story. I'd love to see Vidal Sassoon honored since he is one of the fathers of our craft.
