Don't do it! I went over to Tigi last year and it was awful. I lasted 3 months, 3 lots of training, with me phoning them to remove all the stock from the salon.
The reds are lack lustre, coppers insipid, it gives translucent grey coverage and not one colour true to swatch. The toners last one wash. The whole range is uninspiring and boring. We do 30+ colours a week in our salon and the whole experience seriously made me fear for my business. There was not one colour I did not have to re-do. I have a good reputation for colouring (I worked for years solely as a colour tech) and have a good knowledge of colour but I could not make these colours work.
When I finally told them to remove the stock from my salon I had 2 reps, 1 manager, head office and 2 trainers try to convince me otherwise. I had the trainer back in and out of the 4 models we had in 3 went wrong with the trainer there!
The bleach is fab though.

Probably because Tigi do fabulously cheap deals! Don't make them any good though. :wink2:

she is just open to new stuff, we use tigi products in salon, and we live in a medium sized town where nearly every salon uses wella, so she is gonna see if she thinks that tigi are any good so we can be different, but the more i hear the more im like AW HELL NAW x

Hey! We use Tigi in our salon and are the only ones in the whole area who do,to be honest I prefer Wella,I find the colours rather flat with no shine and rather complicated.

well u guyz, we had our training today to show us the colour in action for the first time. . . i did a chocolate brown semi and it was really really glossy. . . a colleague turned a client from blonde to copper with some very suttle highlights and we then had the owner do her mothers hair for grey coverage. . .not one thing went wrong and every client was delighted.
we have been told we will get quarterly training sessions both in salon and external in with it as standard and we are really gonna give it a try. . .
it exciting and scary but well, it worth a shot, especially when we were all impressed . . . didnt know what to expect. . i love the consitency of the colours to, it spreads over the hair alot easier than wella. . .
will keep u guyz posted on future developments x

I'm glad to hear you are getting on well with it. I think it is ideal for the younger generation as the staying power isn't great. Most younger clients want a different colour each time so it could work well in that market.
I have a much wider clientèle, I needed better coverage, staying power and reliability.
It's all horses for courses. What one stylist needs for their clientèle could be the opposite for another stylist.
Good luck with it and keep us posted on your thoughts and discoveries!

heyyyy were doing grande thanks. . . we are still gettin used to the fact that the radiant gloss semis are indeed jus that, a gloss of colour. . .colour touch has alot more oomph to them and i can defo see the difference between semi and quazi now, the tints i cant really fault as yet!!! we still gettin our creative heads on every day and it really has encouraged us to break out of our normal samey routines and mix alot more!! dont be scared of the unknown, and remember if u dont like it u can always change back, but i dont think we are haha x

no, well i mean they can be flat if u want them to be haha i mean like colour touch was more solid colour, like sumtimes it cud look tinted wit colour touch, but with radiant gloss it is notably different and less. . . well coloured, but they are designed to be this way so yeah hahaha well u will obv get a colour rep to come to salon and u and ur staff shud all do a model using a different aspect of there colour before u decide like we did x
