UNILEVER TO BUY TIGI

UNILEVER, the world’s second-largest consumer-goods company, made its first foray into professional hair products by agreeing to buy the salon brands of TIGI from the creators of TONI&GUY for $411.5 MILLION in cash. The purchase from U.K.-based stylists Bruno, Guy and Anthony Mascolo and their brother Toni doesn’t include the Toni&Guy hair salon business. TIGI brands BED HEAD, CATWALK e S-FACTOR will be added to Unilever haircare products including Dove, Axe for Men, Suave and Sunsilk. Unilever, which is based in London and Rotterdam, is seeking to catch up with faster-growing rivals PROCTER & GAMBLE CO. (WELLA) AND NESTLE SA (L’ORÉAL) by designing new products and making acquisitions. The deal, which is expected to be completed by the end of March, will see TIGI operate as a “stand-alone” business unit within Unilever. The acquisition includes TIGI’s “advanced education academies.”

Sta finendo la libertà incondizionata e impunita di cui ha goduto fino ad oggi Google?
Il motore di ricerca ha usato, e continua ad usare, i contenuti dei siti inseriti nel web per catalogarli, referenziarli con esclusivi sistemi propri ed utilizzare tutto il sistema per fare un grande business pubblicitario. Il grave è che vengono divulgati anche contenuti offensivi: infatti, il comune di Milano ha citato in giudizio Google per un video ritenuto offensivo verso un down milanese. Il verdetto, per la prima causa di questo tipo, potrà segnare una svolta nel comportamento futuro di Google.

over credit crunch

The effect of the current economic climate on the professional hairdressing industry is not as dramatic as report in the financial press suggest, according to KPSS CEO and president Thomas Dieckhoff.
Spaking at the official launch of the Goldwell Trend Zoom Color Challenge international final in Valencia, Spain, Thomas said:”So far, there has not been a dramatic effect on the professional hairdressing industry. There has been no discernible decline in visits.”
Thomas said that recent research in Goldwell’s homa country, Germany, showed that only 25% of consumers felt personally affected by the credit crunch. He did acknowledge, however, that clients were concerned about how they might be affected in the future and that salons and manufacturers needed to work together to offer services wich would increase, client spend. “Visiting cycles are going to get longer and this is a challenge for us,” said Thomas. “It is now more important than ever to have a strong partnership between supplier and salon.”
