He is a icon! He deserves to be on the note, without him hair wouldn't be what it is today!

This is the most bullshit thing I have ever heard of!!! I have been an artist since I was a baby! Art is art. And whoever thinks that doing hair is not visual is seriously disturbed. Not only is hair a visual art but it is emotional. We are trendsetters and psychiatrists!!

Hair dressing is one of the most important art forms there is, we implore you to change the way you see hairdressing, vidal Sassoon deserves to be on that note as much as any artist of any kind.
Thank you.

Vidal Sassoon Should be nominated! Hairdressers create art in a daily basis! To say or think otherwise is foolish.

How are hair and fashion NOT considered visual art? As a person who took art all through school, I don't see any logic in the BOE's statement. And I am not a stylist or into fashion at ALL... but I respect the industry and the ingenuity it takes to make such beautiful creations that grace magazines, books, videos, etc.
