Vidal Sassoon himself has changed the hairdressing industry conception and way of cutting. There isn't anyone better than VIDAL

It's insulting to say hair can't be visual art. That's basically suggestions the entire fashion industry isn't art related.

good hairdressers, aestheticians and nail techs are absolutely artists who enhance thousands of lives every day

Plain and simple history, changing the lives of young and old with a great background and the heart of a lion coming from his roots and all! Need I say more I can go on all night in detail

Vidal Sassoon and all of u Master cosmetologist are artist our client or model is our canvas u can't put any style on every person so we have to custom fit the style to the person and you must have an artistic mind and eye to create the look. #weareartist

The hair styling industry needs to be recognized for their significant contributions to visual arts. When is the last time you saw an amazing piece of clothing showcased without an equally amazing hair style? Please!

Hair stylists are just that stylists!! The incredible things Rachel at Salon Allesandros has down with my hair over the years are always works of art. My hair is something that people often comment on and with that ask me where they an get my color or my cut, no different then a fashion designers piece being sought after!
