The History of…

## Toni & Guy

Pioneering, inspirational, and passionate for over 60 years, TONI&GUY has dominated the hairdressing industry by making exceptional hair accessible to all. Founded in 1963 by Toni Mascolo and his brother Guy in Clapham, South London, what began as a single shop grew into a movement that redefined what a salon could be.

Today, with 475+ salons across 48 countries, Toni & Guy is recognised as a Super-Brand and Cool Brand — a first for any hairdressing company — and has been the Official Haircare Sponsor to London Fashion Week since 2004, creating runway hair for over 50 designer shows each season.

In Coimbatore, that same standard is delivered by our Paulsons Group-led team of internationally trained stylists at Racecourse — professionals who have trained at Toni & Guy's International Academy and carry the brand's exacting philosophy into every appointment.

What We Stand For

## Our Values

Six principles that guide every cut, every colour, and every client experience at Toni & Guy Coimbatore.

### Education First

Every stylist trains at our International Academy under the award-winning International Artistic Team. Continuous learning is not optional — it is the foundation of everything we deliver.

### Fashion-Led Artistry

We exist at the intersection of fashion and hairdressing. Our techniques are shaped by London runways and refined through decades of craft on the world stage — every cut reflects that lineage.

### Client-Centred Service

Every appointment begins with a thorough consultation. We listen deeply, understand your lifestyle and personality, and craft a look that is authentically, individually yours.

### Uncompromising Standards

From the products we select to the finish we deliver — we refuse to compromise. Sebastian, Wella, Dermalogica, and Sothys are our partners because they share our standard.

### Community & Belonging

Our salon is more than a service — it is a creative community. Every guest is welcomed with warmth and treated with genuine care, from first visit to hundredth.

### Global, Delivered Locally

London. New York. Paris. Tokyo. We bring the techniques, trends, and standards of the world's great cities directly to Racecourse, Coimbatore — with no dilution, no compromise.

Coimbatore's Own

## The Paulsons Group

The Paulsons Group is a premium South Indian lifestyle conglomerate known for curating world-class experiences in hospitality, retail, and wellness. Recognising in 2010 the growing appetite for genuinely international luxury in India, the Group chose Toni & Guy as the hairdressing brand worthy of their flagship.

The Chennai launch was an immediate success — built on a philosophy of no compromise, deep local knowledge, and internationally trained talent. That philosophy was carried to Coimbatore's Racecourse Road, where Toni & Guy has since become the city's definitive address for premium hair, beauty, and wellness.

Today, under the Paulsons umbrella, Toni & Guy Coimbatore serves thousands of guests each month. Two locations — Racecourse and Prozone Mall — ensure the experience is always close to hand. Every team member is screened, trained, and continuously developed to ensure the Toni & Guy standard never slips.
