TONI&GUY India recently hosted Bill Watson, International Education Director at TONI&GUY, for an exclusive, advanced masterclass at the brand’s flagship academy in Delhi. A globally celebrated educator and creative force in the world of professional hairdressing, Watson’s visit marked a significant milestone in TONI&GUY India’s ongoing mission to deliver world-class hair education.

Returning to the GK-2 Academy—where he had played a pivotal role during its inception—Watson led an intensive training session for stylists, trainers, and students from across North India. His sessions focused on the latest innovations in hairdressing, hairstyling, precision haircutting, and advanced techniques that are currently shaping the global salon industry.

As International Education Director, Watson has overseen TONI&GUY’s education strategy across the UK, Asia, and the Southern Hemisphere. With decades of experience and thousands of stylists mentored under his guidance, he brought a rare blend of technical mastery and global insight to the Delhi session.

A key highlight of the masterclass was a deep dive into the House of TONI&GUY—the brand’s signature collection that sets the creative direction for the year. Known for its bold trends, tailored techniques, and high-fashion appeal, the collection acted as both an artistic benchmark and a commercial guide for stylists across TONI&GUY salons worldwide. The session explored how to interpret and adapt the collection for everyday clients, enhancing salon creativity while ensuring real-world wearability.

What set this masterclass apart was its clear focus on client servicing—equipping stylists with the tools to transform technical excellence into a personalised salon experience. From consultations to customisations, the training was designed to refine not only a stylist’s craft but also their ability to deliver looks aligned with client needs, preferences, and lifestyles.

Speaking on the session, Raghav Bhambri, Co-owner of TONI&GUY Northwest India, said: “Having Bill Watson back at our Delhi academy was both an honour and a statement of intent. This masterclass was about bridging the creative and the commercial—using the House of TONI&GUY collection as a tool to inspire stylists and elevate their client work.”

Sonali Bhambri, Director, TONI&GUY Master Franchisee, North India, added: “Education has always been at the heart of TONI&GUY. Hosting Bill Watson was a proud moment for us and a testament to our commitment to excellence. Our focus remains on building a training culture where creativity meets purpose—where every stylist understands how to turn inspiration into impeccable client outcomes.”

The Delhi masterclass was also supported by Vinod Kumar and Wasim Ahmed, Heads of Education at TONI&GUY New Delhi, both of whom have been instrumental in shaping the technical education curriculum and mentoring a new generation of stylists. Their leadership continues to play a key role in expanding TONI&GUY’s educational impact across the region.

This landmark session not only enhanced technical capabilities but also reinforced TONI&GUY India’s position as a leader in professional education—where global artistry meets Indian talent, and where every haircut begins with client care at its core.
