A celebration of young talent at the tigi inspirational youth show

The annual TIGI Inspirational Youth Show celebrates the young talent working in TIGI's salons with 10 members of the industry being invited on a creative, technical and personal development-style boot camp finishing off with a professional photo shoot before performing at the live show. TIGI's UK general manager Mark Bleathman opened the show at London's Cafe de Paris. He said: "The industry is filled with passionate and dedicated people and we want TIGI to provide you with inspirational and practical content that you can use in your salons." TIGI founder and international artistic director, Anthony Mascolo added: "Tonight is about giving young people the opportunity to step outside of their comfort zone and to present their beautiful work." Before this year's team demonstrated their live cutting and styling skills on stage and explained the inspiration behind their final photo shoot looks, Anthony presented the Artwork show from this year's Alternative Hair Show.
