History

In 1963, Toni Mascolo and his brother Guy opened their first salon in Clapham, London. [4]

In 1985, the company opened its first salon outside Europe, in Dallas, Texas. It also launched the TIGI product line. [5] In 1990, the Toni & Guy Hairdressing Academy was opened. [5]

In 2009, the TIGI product line was acquired by Unilever for £296 million. [6]

In January 2019, Nigel Darwin was appointed as CEO, after a 12-month search to replace the previous CEO (and co-founder), Toni Mascolo, who died in December 2017. [7]

As of 2022, there are 457 salons in 41 countries. [2]
