The School: A Tour Inside

    Hello again! Today's post is going to be a look at the inside of my school, because I am sure people are curious and I know I was. This post will be a virtual tour inside and hopefully you will enjoy it and get a taste of how awesome the environment is in this place!

You can do a full pan look around through these areas.

Alright let's get this thing rolling and start the tour!

As you can see this is obviously the outside of the school. I love the window in this place, there's so much natural light that comes in which is great for the salon floor.

  Through the front doors we go!

 Here is front desk. We have the best reception, always super nice.

I love our waiting area!

I mean seriously look at those chairs. They are surprisingly comfy too. If you look to the left you can see TiGi's pet product line, yes I said pets. They have cool stuff for cats and dogs like shampoo, conditioner, deodorizers/fragrance, de-shedding stuff and even nail polish. I got a little bit too excited about that, but I get a kick out of that line.

TiGi products galore! S-Factor, Catwalk, Bed Head etc. 

Here is the timeline of Toni and Guy's history from its birth in London in the 1960's to present day.

Here is the salon floor where you take clients once you get to a certain level. You get an assigned station that is your own. Super cool side note, you get to accept and keep tips from clients once you get to the floor. Once you graduate you are also allowed to take your clients with you, so cool right?!

Another view of the salon floor.

Again another view

Entering the shampoo room.

And inside the shampoo room and along the back are all the different TiGi shampoos, conditioners, and treatments.

This is the color bar or hair color dispensary. Every student gets a period of time here during your time on the salon floor where you are a "mix master". Instead of having a bunch of stylists behind the counter at once trying to mix hair color, you have one person that serves as a bartender of sorts. Students come up with a formula for color and the "mix master" well... mixes the color up. They do this to make sure you get plenty of practice formulating and mixing color.

This is like a lecture/possibly theory/presentation room

Here is one of 2 classrooms where you learn what you need to know before you hit the salon floor. Each of the classrooms are split by course level. You receive your own assigned station to work at.

The 2nd classroom.

In here is the nice big break room with table, fridge and microwave. 

    I hope everyone found this as interesting as I did. You can explain something until your blue in the face, but nothing beats actual pictures. Thanks for reading and see you next time!
