Who We Are
TIGI’s Copyright Colour allows colorists to create an in finite number of shades from fundamental to the most creative results, enabling them to push their artistry. Shades can be used alone or intermixed, even between permanent and demipermanent shades to create iridescent, high-shine soft, permanent results.
First Person
TIGI U.S. Technical Creative Director Richy Kandasamy details anticipated fall launches.
Tracking Trends
As a company, we stay up to date with fashion and street culture. We update color trends from season to season as they change, always able to work within current and future trends. When we educate, we always make sure the color complements the cut, the client’s skin tone, complexion and lifestyle. It’s not about just creating a great shade, but creating the perfect color to complement your client’s total look and lifestyle.
White Hot
One of our best-selling products in TIGI Copyright Colour is True Light White. This is a great lightening powder, allowing for seven levels of lift. During the lightening process, it conditions the hair with the added bene fits of sugar crystals, amino acids and chamomile. The white base allows the colorist to see every aspect of the lifting process, to see the undertone at each level.
Fall Launches
We are launching cool, antique golds, vintage rose-golds and chocolate suedes this autumn. These opulent shades will add a touch of luxury to your haircolor services. These eight shades create head-turning, desirable hair, are flattering to the complexion and promise to be hugely popular with clients who are looking to indulge this season. Along with the introduction of these shades, we will also have new techniques like Diffused Silhouette and Contour Lightening to inspire the stylist.
“Our color is beyond fantastic because you always get predictable end results. More importantly, TIGI education supports the salon by helping them to grow their business and inspire the staff creatively and financially.” —RICHY KANDASAMY
