Vidal had more loyal followers in his life time .than most leaders in this world . A creator of the ART of HAIR .As a Hairdresser he charmed the tresses of many a client like a wizard with a wand . Most hairdressers ( All genders ) I know, wanted to be him!! .. but were happy enough to accept just been apart of his army of crimpers .. He should be on that note .He totally deserves to be .Jenni C.:-)

Vidal Sassoon is as an iconic and important figure as anyone you could mention, completely changed how everyone in the world looked and I do mean globally and did it peacefully without harming a soul. As a hairdresser myself he is without equal an amazing visionary and visual artist in a field that's as visual and arty as any other art form Grant Brown

Vidal changed the world with his creative vision. Hairstylists get their inspiration from art and buildings and nature, everything we See can become our inspiration for a new visual creation of our own. Vidal's visual art for to walk the streets not just be stuck in one place I call that visual art, I don't know about you?

Vidal was a true visionary. Hair was his canvass, his works speak for themselves...

I'd like for everyone one of you to do someone's hair for a show. I'd then like you to tell me that what we do is "not art" it is absolutely offensive. Every day I get to create a masterpiece on a blank canvas that is made of virgin hair.

This is just sad, he is one of the most renowned visual artists in history! To be one of the first to create a haircut not meant to be set, this has been well earned!!

As a hairdresser and a drawing artist preciously, creating a style through colour cut or style is a skill and an art combined. A work of art that onlookers admire and desire.

It's sad some people don't view hairdressing as a talent or a real job. I enjoy being creative as well as changing someone look to make them feel confident, sassy, important or different. Hair is your most important accessory. You wear it every day and says a lot about you.
