After 37 years, the creativity and commitment of everyone involved in the Alternative Hair Show continue to be as outstanding as ever, with over £12.5 million so-far raised for the charitable foundation “Fighting Leukaemia”.

The TIGI European Convention saw 2 days of inspiration, education and information dedicated to hairdressers from across Europe, who were welcomed to London by Anthony Mascolo, TIGI founder & International Artistic Director, for what proved to be a truly spectacular event.

This year Alternative Hair marks its 37th year with a new location at the ICC Auditorium, EXCEL, London. The Alternative Hair Show, entitled PARODY, will take place on the evening of Sunday 6th October.

FUSE by TIGI is a dedicated one-stop platform designed to champion hairdressers as creatives, promote the industry as a whole, and act as a source of inspiration and education to help support the personal journey of stylists, technicians and salons owners.

MYSTIQUE was the name of this year's spectacular Alternative Hair Show, held at the Freemasons’ Hall in Covent Garden, London. The 2-show event raised a magnificent £205,000 for the Alternative Hair Charitable Foundation: Fighting Leukaemia.
