I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Sassoon once. "Gracious" is the first word that comes to mind.

My mom was taught by Vidal how to blow dry right out of beauty school. I have been doing hair for 22 years we love our profession and believe it is very much visual art !!

Highly offended that our contributions to the world go by the wayside. Disappointed doesnt even begin to describe how my heart feels. Im passionate behind my love of this VISUAL ARTISTIC INDUSTRY! Ps. Forced apologies suck they arent genuine! So they can keep it and put it with the rest of the half ass apologies people give! #BOOM

The idea that hairdressers aren't visual artists is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard!!! I went to Art School & then Beauty School to understand shape, proportion, texture & to develop my hand eye coordination specifically. Anything I create with this knowledge is a visual art! Who gets to define what visual art is? The medium that is used to create art doesn't matter. It's the finished product.
