The TONI&GUY and essensuals Breakthrough Team, now in its third year, is a collaboration between Sacha Mascolo-Tarbuck (Global Creative Director), Gary France (International Artistic Director) and Jo O’Neil (International Technical Education Director) and Jenny Yu (Press Officer for Brand and Creative Projects). The breakthrough team’s mission: to select and nurture talented young individuals from across the TONI&GUY UK network company, who have shown raw talent, commitment, individuality and the effortless ability to shine!
Each member has “fast tracked” their creative development through undergoing training and development sessions as well as assisting and taking part in key creative projects and shoots, plus enjoying mentoring from Gary France, Jo O’Neill and guest TONI&GUY Art Directors.

This year’s Breakthrough Team show saw the standard of work brought yet again to another level! Each talented member presented two models and spoke about their inspiration behind the total looks created, something they have been working towards throughout the past year in regular meetings and seminars. The show was a resounding success with a jam packed audience including friends, family, proud managers and salon teams. The awe inspiring show proves that sheer hard work and dedication always pay off as they have come up with brilliant looks combining vibrant stage presentations and gorgeous hair.

“Here at TONI&GUY and essensuals we have long been committed to nurturing young talent, the future of tomorrow’s hairdressing. We are extremely proud of the Breakthrough Team’s progress, with each member showing immense dedication and talent as proven by the wonderful show they have just given.” says Gary France.
