I think they should be ASHAMED of themselves. As a hairdresser for 37 yrs. I find this insulting not only to V.S. but to all of us.

The Hair stylist has to be artistic to create beauty, and beauty refines humans. Vidal Sassoon has made the world beautiful by revolutionized and Modernized women around the Glob. His contribution is undeniable.

Vidal was a true artist how sad not to be featured on the £20 note he was, and always will be remembered as, a genius hairdresser.

It takes time and practice just like any form of art. We create and sculpt with our hands. It's the only reason I started doing hair, because it is a work of art.
