Hair maintenance is not necessary. It is elective. So if it's elective then why do it? Because it feels and LOOKS better. Aka ART.
We, literally, define the cutting and shaping of hair on your head as SCULPTING. This entire industry is full of artists. I dare you to get your monthly/quarterly/annual update by someone who isn't an artist "sculpting" your hair. Then live with it.

Hairdressing is definitely a visual art. Vidal Sassoon was one of the top designer and artist of hairdressing.

hat hairdressing did not fall within the field of the visual arts and therefore Vidal Sassoon is unfortunately not eligible to appear on the list of names to be considered by the Committee. This is an insult to Vidal's work and the hole hairdressing industry!

If creating beautiful colour and endless shapes within hair is not visual artistry then I honestly?

Thriugh the years as an artist and a hairdresser I know I have another set of eyes within my soul. I see and experience the visual artistry in hairdressing... day in and day out. "If you can't see it, you can't become it".

Hairdressers are as much visual artists as great fashion designers. Hair & clothing created by both is art that is worn daily.

Ridiculous!

Vidal has revolutionised the way we perceive hair fashion, geometry within a haircut and many more. He pioneered a concept where one expresses ones personality through their hair and not wearing a box standard wiglike haircut. Is that not enough to be perceived as visual artist?

It is definitely visual art and should be chased as such
