Vidal Sassoon changed the world of visual arts and made hair such a unique form of art.

It can be stated the Mr Sassoon revaluationized the art of hair design. Elovated the technical practice in the art of hair fashion. Lastly, his enfluence will effect and help develop young artists for generations to come. Best SMD

Definitely needs to be up there! Of course it's a visual art! An instant, daily, wearable art that every one sees, and you can't get more visual than creating a beautiful structure on a round object that moves while you're doing it and lasts 8 weeks! It's Genius! At least he was the Father of it all!

Please reconsider your decision. And put the iconic Vidal Sassoon back as a contender for the £20. He was a true artist,

Being a hairdresser is one of the most artistic way to express ourselves and the way we see people, it takes great knowledge of color and placement when we do hair coloring just like a painter and it also requires knowledge in sculpting and having the right angle measurements just like in architecture do when they sketch an building #thinkaboutit #dontbeignorant
