Richy Kandasamy—American Technical Director at TIGI Academy in New York—comes to us by way of the exotic Seychelles islands, followed by time spent in Florence (where he was Technical Director of the first TIGI Academy) and London. Richy’s thought process and approach to haircolor is very much rooted in his tropical homeland’s culture and scenery. Combine that with years spent perfecting his craft and the result is one of the most brilliant colorist's in the industry today. This week's best advice is based on love of family and Richy's grandmother’s wisdom. We spent time learning about his interesting life and career at the 2015 TIGI World Event.
