My Experience with TIGI by Leslie

My first experience with TIGI was certainly one I'll remember for some time. Walking into the East Hotel I was greeted by a nice cold beer and a welcoming smile. The trendy location made me feel right at home and ready to learn. During the course we saw soft tonal colours and classical haircuts with an advanced spin.  I was inspired by Sam Overton's style, he used classic easy to understand techniques and put a new spin on it. I know that I will definitely play with some of my techniques. It was great to refresh what I already knew and also learn some new tricks to advance my work. Chelsea created beautiful colours that were classical yet had hints of lighter warm tones to create a natural feel, which is definitely on trend with whats in salon at the moment. I was intrigued by TIGI's tribal consultation method, assessing people's personalities and putting them into a "tribal fashion" category. At first I thought this would box people into categories but the more I thought about it the more that I found that most clients would indeed fit into the categories and I think clients would relate to this and allow you to express what would suit their personality. 

Interview with Leah 

Bond: Why hairdressing?

Leah: I wanted a profession that I could be creative in and a career that I am constantly pushing myself to be better and I was always interested in styling my sisters hair growing up so hairdressing seemed like a good option.

Bond: What are your goals/aspirations? 

Leah: To build up a full clientele for the immediate future and to create a portfolio of creative work. I also want to work at Sydney fashion week.

Bond: What's your favourite part of hairdressing?

Leah: My favourite part of hairdressing is when clients leave with a big smile on their faces feeling a million dollars because of their hair and the experience they have had in the salon.

Bond: What's your favourite moment?

Leah: When I had my gala night and graduated after almost four years of hard work.
