We express our artistic visions through our work. I love that every client is a blank canvas and as stylists, we make the world a more beautiful place one client at a time

To say that any form of architecture is not visual art is the lack of vision.

Not sure how this can be said about a profession that screams artistic. With no limits on what you can do with all the color, cuts, styles, extensions, etc. Every client is art. With serious hair artists, like Sassoon, we demonstrate drawing and painting with color; sculpting through cutting; design by styling and so much more. All of which define visual arts.

How is hairdressing not a visual art?? Are they blind and dumb? Vidal Sasson changed the way hairdressing ever existed and we have him to thank for our amazingly creative industry , he changed history ! To not be recognised for this is utterly disgusting !
