Brazil is intensive, breathtaking, thrilling and very charismatic. In Rio de Janeiro, Brazil’s capital of
inspiration and zest for life where African, American and European influences intermingle and the world
apparently melts together, the elite of hairstylists from 52 countries assembled at the 20th Intercoiffure

A mega summit of the hair-cosmetic world market leader. More than 800 hairdressers, beauty experts
and top-managers from the professional hair-care industry came together in one of the most exciting and
spectacular cities of the world to celebrate an event of global glamour showcasing 14 outstanding hairfashion shows.

This vision is a challenge and in the same time a stimulation to act with ethics and be socially
responsible, pass on the best knowledge, support and promote the education of young hairdressers and
give a future to the people. Intercoiffure Mondial largely supports the talents of hairdressers.
The Fondation Guillaume, established 26 years ago, together with L’Oréal and Wella, work actively on
the education and international improvement of the generation of young hairdressers. The exceptional
ability of the youngsters was demonstrated with the fabulous Juniors Show at the Sugar Loaf. A thrilling
Samba-Hair-Scenario with experimental fashion design, dramatic “up-do’s” and fun hair sculptures. «The
talent of the Juniors and of the Fashion Team of the Fondation Guillaume is immensely big and all their
presentations show excellence combined with youth”, says Klaus Peter Ochs. “These young people
definitely pave the way for the leading hairdresser-industry worldwide – now and in the future!”
Vision of the Elite lives on dynamism, modernity, world open-mindedness and also on a never-endinginput of highest quality.
