🌟Meet Erin, our esty student of the month!🌟
Erin chose TIGI because "as most of you know, my career plan switched up as well as the school, until I walked into TIGI. I knew this was where I belong!
After meeting the staff and seeing the students, how focused they were, I just knew this school was going to help me with my dreams."❤️
Erin`s says she doesn`t have someone who`s inspired her however, she has pushed herself to get where she is now. After facing medical and personal challenges that have happened, she`s never given up at completing her dreams.
Erin has always wanted to join the industry as "it`s simple girl math". She loves helping people feel good about themselves. Transforming someone with beauty puts the biggest smile on her face. When she first started lash extensions, were going to be her niche however, she soon realized doing facials and helping people with their skin has started to grow on her!
We asked Erin what our culture means to her-" honestly I don`t know where to start, the staff here shows so much pride, joy and their work, that pushes me to be and become better. The passion and positive vibes in the school really helps students to grow and complete their dreams."
A fun fact about Erin- "well, some know, but I am a type 1 diabetic that struggles with it, but when I was in my coma in October, I had one dream that I actually remember, and that was opening my own salon/spa with skincare and beauty."
Erin is an outstanding student to have with us, we are so blessed she chose TIGI to begin achieving her dreams. She has a positive outlook regardless of what she has going on in her personal life, she works hard and is always eager to perfect her craft. She has big goals that we know she will achieve and we are so excited to watch her continue to grow and succeed! ❤️

This week staff spotlight goes to ZACH, our Admissions Director! 👏🏼
Zach was beginning his search for a new career opportunity and knew an educator here at Tigi that recommended he come in and interview. He did just that and “I did well enough to start my journey here!”.
Zach’s inspiration comes from art/artists, pop culture like anime/cartoons, marvel, video games, movies/entertainment and history (particularly Japanese and Mayan culture).
Zach has been in the hair industry for 7 years. This is his first time in an official learning environment; “so far it’s been awesome seeing students with the passion to learn a trade and build a career”.
Zach enjoys the professional environment and hopes to help add his personal experience to the culture here at TIGI.
A fun fact about Zach?
“I can no longer bend my right thumb at the first knuckle, the interesting part is my dad has a similar issue with his left thumb.”
Zach has an important role here at TIGI as he’s the first person potential students meet and get to know. He’s easy to talk to, has a great sense of humor and is eager to answer any questions he’s asked. Zach brings a lot of positive energy to TIGI and we are incredibly thankful for all of his hard work helping future industry creatives start their careers here with us. Also, he makes a great participant in anything Star Wars related! 🤩

Meet Augustus, our barbering student of the week✨
Augustus chose TIGI Hairdressing Academy because honestly, it was the first barbering program he found on a Google search. He did have another tour planned but when he did his tour with TIGI, he truly enjoyed the staff and atmosphere!
His inspiration comes from his hard-working and brilliant wife, most of all, but also all the wonderful, creative teachers, and students who have made realizing their dreams an achievable goal. Augustus didn’t always want to join the industry, it took a lot of life lived to reach this point, but he truly appreciates all the techniques and knowledge that has been imparted on him.
TIGI Hairdressing Academy culture means “kindness and patience, combined with passion. if it weren’t for all the hard-working instructors who live by those standards, I wouldn’t be here!” Fun fact about Augustus is that he loves the winter and outdoors! All winter he is snowboarding and in the summer backpacking. He actually started dating his wife when she flew out to meet him at the end of a 250 mile backpacking trip in California.
Augustus has truly been an exceptional student throughout his time with us. His enthusiasm for learning is abundant and he radiates a positive energy wherever he goes. We have thoroughly enjoyed witnessing his growth as a creative force in the industry and eagerly anticipate his future accomplishments. 🎉🤩

She has been in the industry for 18 years and she’s been teaching for over 3 years. TIGI hairdressing Academy culture to her is to help others be better than they were yesterday and to elevate the future industry creatives.

Meet our student spotlight this week, HEATHER!!✨
Heather chose TIGI Hairdressing Academy because the environment and vibe were welcoming, and the brightness of the school was set up as inviting. Her inspiration has come from different areas throughout her life, but she remains inspired by the support and encouragement from her husband and kids. Heather has always had an interest in hair but it was never a career she felt she could pursue. In her time here, she has learned many techniques, but her favorite technique is fading down to not create extra lines in the hair. A fun fact about Heather is she is custom cake designer and former instructor for baking at a local culinary Institute.
Heather is an ambitious student who is eager to acquire knowledge and apply it to achieve success. Her ability to connect with clients and support her peers makes her a valuable addition to our industry. We look forward to witnessing the great accomplishments she will achieve in the future! ✨

We would like to introduce you to our Student Spotlight of the week, MACIE!!! ✨
Macie chose TIGI Hairdressing Academy because everyone was so welcoming on her tour. A lot of students interacted with her and had nothing but nice things to say.
Her inspiration comes from her friends and family. She surrounds herself by creatives to push her every day to express herself in anyway.
She has always had an obsession with fashion, hair and nails, etc. from a really young age. Realizing she could make a career out of the things she loved peaked her interest right away. She loves to do cuts, specifically more layered looks such as a shag. Her favorite part of haircutting is styling and seeing the end results.
To Macie, our culture here means learning not only from the instructors, but my classmates as well. We all have something to offer and being open to positive and negative feedback is important to have in this industry.
Fun fact about Macie is she can say the alphabet backwards!
We’re incredibly thankful to have Macie among our student body! Her positivity is infectious and she consistently pours her wholehearted effort into all she does.
