Anyone who says hairdressing is not a visual art has not lived a day in my shoes.

Vidal Sassoon is one of the greatest people in the world who changed the beauty industry into what it is today. Visual art means art for the human eye. If you see someone in the street with beautiful hair, is it not art?

I've been not only a hair designer for 7 years now but an artist my whole life. I often refer to my art as 'sculpting' hair and call myself a hair designer because that's what I do. I design. I work on photoshoots on a regular basis and the thought and process that goes into building a style, a cut, a color, is no different than the same care and time that I put into my paintings and drawings. To say hairdressing is not a visual art is not only a disrespect to our entire industry but a machary of the centuries old art of styling hair.

It really is about time hair stylists were recognised for their artistry as we are all on stage while creating with our scissors.
