Vidal was an architect, sculptor and fashion visionary - indeed a visual artist.

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

Hairdressers are visual artists. We create art all day everyday.

Vidal Sassoon is the only hairdresser who changed the word with a pair of sissers and with that hairdressing into art.

"The Art of hairdressing" You see with your eyes- inspiration... Color... Architectural design. You feel with your hands- texture... Movement... Weight... Light. The mathematics of said art- degrees...angles... Formulas...ratios. But most of all Art at its purest- the love... Passion... The simple change in a perpective.

How dare someone say we are not artist! If we do your hair and we had no creativity or a vision your hair would like a mess! Instead we educate ourselfs and put our all in to making s head of hair beautiful! Can you do what we do???

I've really grown tired of other individuals not showing hairstylist the support that we deserve. We should really be called hair ARTISTS!

It is a travesty, not to mention an insult to not only a profoundly great man but to the contributions of our craft as a whole, that Vidal Sassoon was passed over for the nominations list! If anyone showed what a visual art hairdressing is and can be, Vidal did. I could understand not selecting him for the note, but not even including him in the nominations list? Ridiculous, and wrong on every level.
