Vidal Sassoon was one of the biggest visual artists of all time. His work will carry on forever and impression upon hairdressers all over the World. If he is not a visual artist with his stunning creative inventive hairdressing then I don't know who is....The man was a genius!

Vidal Sassoon revolutionised hairdressing, his face should appear on bank notes, to honour what he achieved

Hairdressing is synonymous with visual art. Just because it is seen everyday, shouldn't cheapen it's contribution within the world of visual arts, nor it's importance.
Vidal Sassoon was a forward thinking giant within our industry, creating iconic visions that will remain as historical references for all time, as well as being a true humanitarian & gentle man. Regards, Sarah & Adrian Bowron

For those that say Hair Stylists are NOT Visual Artists or Artists at all-take a look in your mirror and see how disgusting you are to bring others down. Your messing with the wrong groups of people who WIRK AND FIGHT THROUGH BLOOD SWEAT AND TEARS AND EXTREME STRESS JUST LIKE THE NEXT HARD-WORKING PERSON TRYING TO PROVIDE FOR THEIR FAMILIES. SO THE NEXT TIME YOU SAY THAT TRY SAYING IT TO MY FACE AND YOU WILL GET THE DEBATE OF YOUR LIFE. STOP HATING FOR NO REASON.

Vidal Sasson is one of the greatest Visual Artist in the world and he deserves to be acknowledged. What is wrong with you people at the Bank of England?

Hairdressing is a complete visual art and Vidal Sassoon was a master at creating hair styles that influenced fashion and culture. Vidal also inspired millions of people to take up hairdressing and therefore should be acknowledged in this campaign. Regards Jimo Salako. salakolondon.com

Outrageous. Britain is the home of hairdressing and the birthplace of structured hairstyling and hair as an art form. Shame on you BOE for your flippant and thoughtless comments.
