The story

Founded by Toni Mascolo in 1963.1

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

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

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