MEET THOMAS TUCCINARDI, THE GLOBAL HAIR COLORIST OF L’ORÉAL PARIS
Thomas Tuccinardi is a rising star in the world of hair color and an inspiring member of the brand’s line-up of beauty experts. With fifteen years of experience, Thomas honed his talents in prestigious hair salons across the United States before opening his own studio in Lyon, France.
A BORN HAIR ARTIST
Growing up, Thomas Tuccinardi would spend hours watching his mother, who was a hair stylist, at work in her own salon. He started his apprenticeship at the age of 15 in the South of France, before moving to Lyon upon graduation. Driven to further explore his creativity, Thomas moved to San Francisco for two years, where he developed his signature balayage technique. His unique hair coloration method creates a lightening effect in the hair while adding dimension with a natural result without damaging the fiber – all while respecting the hair. Thomas’s approach shares L'Oréal Paris' ambition, which was founded with the first safe hair coloration formula.
CREATIVITY AS A DRIVING FORCE
Now at the head of his own salon, Thomas Tuccinardi is building a strong community of hair coloration afficionados on Instagram and TikTok. Inspired by its vibrant community of creative hairstylists, the social platform has been influential in shaping his vision and creativity. Thomas always tells his team to look at inspiring profiles from around the world to spark their imagination and keep their passion alive. He is also an avid traveler and explorer of other cultures, returning home with a head full of new ideas.
EMPOWERING WOMEN THROUGH HAIR COLOR
Through the myriad statements they can make with their hair, Thomas wants to give women the freedom to experiment with their appearance and authentically express who they are. L’Oréal Paris’ iconic tagline resonates with his own vision: everyone is unique, and our differences are also our strength.
When he learned that L'Oréal Paris had contacted him to become Global Hair Colorist, it was a moment of excitement and pride for him: after years of work, he'd be able to make beauty and hair color accessible to all women around the world, helping them to play with codes and reveal their idea of femininity. A way to relive even more intensely those moments of shared joy when women discovered their transformation in the mirror at his mother's hairdressing salon.
“We are delighted to welcome Thomas as the newest member of our family of L’Oréal Paris beauty experts, as he shapes the next generation of hair color and gives women the inspiration to experiment with their image and to express who they are.”

THE INVENTOR OF SIGNATURE SWEEP
Thomas has developed a technique in San Francisco that is now his signature service. It consists of pushing the lightening without compromising the health of the hair. It takes a lot of time and finesse but the result - delicate and subtle, very bright - is worth it. A meticulous technique that you wouldn't expect from someone who claims to be clumsy with both hands and capable of spilling his coffee on someone he's just met. But isn't the talent of an artist to surprise?
