Vidal is more than deserving of recognition for his many contributions and the mark he's left on this industry. More than being a pheonominal artist, he was a generous man and gave everything he had. If you don't know much of his great work I urge you to watch his documentary and see if you don't just fall in love with his passion. How dare they not recognize him as a visual artist!

How can hairdressing not be classed as a visual art? Vidal Sassoon revolutionised hairdressing.

Cosmetology is an art form. How is it not? It takes a ton of skill to create a beautiful head of hair and to paint on color just right. Not one head of hair is the same from another after being touched by a hair artist. It's disgusting how we are still looked down upon as a career option but yet everyone still seems to need us.

Vidal Sassoon paved the way for future generations of hairdressers to live outside the box and create art every day, he is an institution in himself.

Hairdressing is certainly a Visual Art. That's not even datable. Please consider Vidal sass on for the new £20.00 note as he truly revolutionised Fashion.

I would like to see Vidal Sassoon on the new £20 note, - When is professional hairdressing going to be taken seriously in this country and recognised equaly with other professions eg Dentists, Nurses etc..
It`s bad enough I`m one of the few VAT paying salons in our area out of thousands!!!!

Vidal Sassoon was so much more than someone who cut hair. He was a maverick. He was a trendsetter. His work was graphic art. He was a visual artist.
