What is not visually artistic about the sculpting and contouring aswell as the kaleidoscope of colours that complement the many hours of beautiful creations a hairstylist can create I ask. Ridiculous judgement!!

Hairdressing is and always will be a visual art. Not one that is displayed upon walls, but one that walks around in daylight, expressing things not only unique to the artist but the people getting their hair styled, cut, colored, or otherwise. It involves just as much artistic discipline as traditional art.

Every hairdresser is an artist! Vidal Sassoon was the greatest visual hair artist of our time!

At Wella, we believe #hairdressing is an art form and hairdressers artists responsible for millions of wonderful transformations every day. In our book, hairdressers are outstanding visual artists and there is no better proof of this than the gentleman responsible for modern hairdressing himself, #VidalSassoon. Vidal’s craft took inspiration from diverse creative fields such as painting, architecture, fashion and design. Through his creations and his work, Vidal changed the face of the industry forever and deserves to be called an artist. #hairdresseratheart

How is this not a visual art! You can't just 'do' hair. This is a talent that is grown and nurtured through out the industry! Without it you wouldn't have the same hype and publicity around magazines, fashion shows or even highstreet shops. This is an art, this is a talent people live for.

Vidal Sassoon changed an industry into the profession it is today, we will be forever in his dept, his work influenced other greats like "The Godfather of Hairdressing, Joshua Galvin" The wonderful Rizzo brothers and many many more. Come on every Hairdresser in the World must sign & share.

I think it's disgusting that hairdressing isn't considered a visual art, this profession needs to be taken seriously!

People have always assumed being a hairdresser, is a less than important job, yet everyone needs us! Many people assume we're not bright and have to do our job because we didn't do well at schools. It would be lovely to see a well known figure within our industry to inspire future generations and show people we take pride in the work we do! It's a craft and is certainly a visual art!

I am not a hairdresser, but I work with hairdressers every day and admire the art and craft of it. I believe all hairdressers are visual artists and especially Vidal Sassoon himself.
