Erie is an international community, so it is no surprise that an international renowned TONI&GUY Hairdressing Academy is located here. The level of confidence that TONI&GUY students exhibit is evident in their freedom to creat hair styles. This is best demonstrated at the annual Hair Show.

Student stylists created their own hair fashions, which were displayed in a full-scale competitive runway show. The show was presented to a standing room only crowd of over 800 in the Avalon Presque Isle Ballroom, complete with runway, lights, music and plenty of excitement.  Judges from leading area salons selected the winners. Top winners, will be entered in the 2008 TONI&GUY Photographic Awards, which will be held in LasVegas later this year.

	Avant Garde category Stylist:  Miguel Santiago, Erie, PA His model, Stevasia Pullium’s hairstyle is a warm representation of things found in nature. The flowers in her hair are actually made of hair and the vibrant colors are representing warm weather found anywhere other than Erie. Cocky paste was used to hold the shape of the flowers and Hard Head hairspray was used for maximum hold.
	Avant Garde category Stylist:  Nicole Kramer, Erie, PA Nicole created a cupcake out of her model, Kristin Tanah’s coif.  Swirls of chocolate and vanilla were made from the high and lowlights.  Her “recipe” for this sweet updo includes a dash of Headbanger for hold, a cup of Camera Ready for shine, and one entire can to TONI&GUY’s Finishing Spray.
	Color category Stylist: Ashley Little, Westfield, NY Model, Nichole Little’s dark hair was colored with a violet hued dark brown with violet peek-a-boo highlights. The hair is cut into square layers throughout the top to accent the violet.
	Cut category Stylist: Jillian Seely, Corry, PA Jillian designed an edgy up to date progressive “Royal Asymmetrical Bob.”  The cut is enhanced with steps of colors graduating from light to dark.  To style this, Jillian used TIGI products, Cocky, Hard Head, and After Party.   Jackie Dates was the model.
	Modern Man category Stylist: Katelyn Trabert, Erie, PA This cut is a modified version of round layers with a lot of slide cutting, channeling and texturizing. The brick radial color technique was used to emphasize the texture of the cut, sported by model Ryan Krysiak. The hair was styled with a flat iron, wax and Manipulator for piecing, Hard Head hairspray for hold and Head Rush for shine.
	Texture category Stylist: Casey Weaver, Clarion, PA Casey used root tonging to create her model, Jenna Welsh’s texture.  The curls add volume and texture to the hair style with just the touch of a Marcel iron and a few TIGI products.  This look can be camera ready for any occasion, casual or formal.
