Vidal was one of the greatest visual artist of all times! He Changed the way stylist approached hair in the Sixties with a pair of scissors and his amazing artistic vision.

The visual arts are art forms such as ceramics, drawing, painting, sculpture, printmaking, design, crafts, photography, video, filmmaking and architecture. Many artistic disciplines (performing arts, conceptual art, textile arts) involve aspects of the visual arts as well as arts of other types. Also included within the visual arts[1] are the applied arts[2] such as industrial design, graphic design, fashion design, interior design and decorative art.[3]

Hairdressing is a visual art, no doubt about it!

Our industry plays a massive role in fashion and to say it does not fall into the field of the visual arts is shameful! I wonder who makes these observations? http://www.bankofengland.co.uk/banknotes/Pages/characters/advisorycommittee.aspx

Hairdressers define the word Visual Artists. While some painting hang on walls in museums, our art walks around for everyone to see.

Vidal Sasoon needs to be added immediately. That man is a legend and the inspiration behind me becoming a hairstylist 28 years ago.
