4 What I do WORKING WITH SCHWARZKOPF PROFESSIONAL A DIFFERENT KIND OF COMPANY A brilliant mix of knowledge and emotion, Schwarzkopf Professional is unlike any other business I ve encountered. Since 2005 we ve collaborated more and more, until in 2014 I was appointed their International Ambassador. Working with them has taken me all over the world and led to loads of unique experiences. TYLER JOHNSTON Working with Tyler since 1999 on live shows and editorial has taught and inspired me so much. As a renowned stylist and Global Ambassador for Schwarzkopf he has shown me how the best cuts are built from the purest shapes and that how you finish your work is as important as the cut. ESSENTIAL LOOKS Being involved in the creation of this definitive trend bible for more than a decade and then in the shows, launches and events that bring it to life, has raised my skill level and professional status. Guy s teaching is so personal and easy to understand that stylists love to work with him and be taught by him. Edward Grimson Regional Marketing & PPS Director APAC Schwarzkopf Professional Guy is a true professional who never fails to impress. As an educator and hairdresser, he will always give you his best. Tyler Johnston Global Ambassador Schwarzkopf Professional Guy is passionate about hair with a sharp eye for detail and finish.
