“Becoming a member of the Senior Art Team is a great accomplishment for me. A few of the privileges and responsibilities will be educating, motivating and mentoring our Jr./Main Art Team.”

“With my experience, I hope I can pass on the possibility that you can achieve anything.”

“This is important to academy students who are beginning their investment in their new found career in hairdressing.”

“I can honestly say that dedication and motivation are the two things that help me achieve my Art Team goals.”

“Remember, it’s not all about what you can get from TONI&GUY, it’s about what you contribute.”

Dallas, Texas – On July 13th, 2008, TONI&GUY Hairdressing Academy students put on a spectacular production called “desiderio.” Each year, TONI&GUY Academy students plan a soiree which entails planning a theme, costumes, hair design, make up and supplying models on a shoe-string budget.

This year’s production was flawless and the hair was true perfection. The hair designs looked like they were created by seasoned professionals, not a newcomer to the industry.

The themes varied between a punk rock look to a full blown production of the Broadway musical “Chicago.” When the show ended, the crowd stood up and cheered as each student walked down the runway presenting their creations. “This is what hairdressing is all about!”, proclaimed one student.

The City of Hope helps fund medical research for people with life-threatening diseases. This year’s donations of $2865.00 will go towards diabetes and cancer research giving millions of people “hope”.

The students who raised the most money are heading off to NYC this August to visit the TIGI Advanced Academy for the day!
