Renowned UK session stylist Nick Irwin will join Unite in 2017 as a global ambassador. He work closely with Creative Director Gary Baker and Director of Global Education Zoe Harte.
“This is a really exciting new chapter in my career,” explains Irwin. “I love the Unite philosophy and the way they work, uniting and supporting hairdressers, so I’m looking forward to becoming part of the family. I can’t wait to get involved, building on their already great team and working with the talented Zoe Harte and Gary Baker.”
Irwin began his hairdressing career in the mid-Eighties in the north of England, eventually moving to London to work with the Toni&Guy Art Team. He went on to travel the globe with the international super-group. Irwin’s ability to understand the aesthetic of editorial and high-fashion hair quickly brought him to the attention of hairdressing icon Anthony Mascolo, who mentored Irwin, allowing him the space and opportunity to develop into the celebrated talent he is today.
In 2004 Irwin took up the role of European Creative Director at TIGI; he was appointed Global Creative Director in 2011 and then to the Board of Directors in 2013. However, it was his leadership and creative direction of the TIGI International Creative Team that garnered him global recognition. Having taken the role of lead stylist at over 60 shows at the International Collections over the last five years, his ability to motivate and deliver is unquestioned, said the company.
