Tigi inspirational youth puts hopefuls through their paces.

20 hopeful young hairdressers from across the UK and Ireland attended the 2016 TIGI Inspirational Youth Assessment Day at the TIGI Academy in South London. Put through their paces by TIGI European Creative Director, Akos Bodi, TIGI European Technical Creative Director, Warren Boodaghians and other members of the TIGI Creative Team, the hairdressers had to produce a cut and colour inspired by a look from a current or previous TIGI collection. Each hairdresser then had to show their look to a panel of judges led by Anthony Mascolo: 'The quality of work was excellent. Every single hairdresser had really researched our collections and interpreted them in their own way. It was very interesting to see the looks they chose. Now we’ve got the task of choosing the final 10!” The TIGI UK Inspirational Team 2016 will be announced next week. #TIY16 See more stories like this in our Future Talent section.
