About the
Association

Intercoiffure Mondial is a worldwide association of like-minded, leading hairdressing entrepreneurs. Every three years, our board of directors is newly elected to shape and implement the activities. As President of this association, it is particularly important to me that all continents are involved in the management body, the Central Committee, but also that the strongest member's regions are at my side represented by my Vice Presidents.

Our profession, in which we are constantly dealing with people, thrives on cooperation and intensive, honest communication between colleagues and with our partners! This is what I see as my task, and I am grateful for this worldwide friendship.  I hope that politicians in our world will take togetherness and communication to heart more than ever before. We want a world in peace, especially for our children and the next generations! There is no room for false vanity!

History

The world's
leading hairdressers.

In the vibrant "Roaring Twenties," hairstylists from Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Denmark, and England founded L’Association Internationale des Maîtres Coiffeurs de Dames (I.C.D.) in 1925. Parisian artist Guillaume Guglielmi, post-World War II, shaped Intercoiffure Mondial's destiny, succeeded by industry leaders like John Pfeil and Alexandre de Paris.

In 2021, Peter F. Pfister became Global President, ushering in a new vision. Under his leadership, Intercoiffure Mondial prioritizes industry future promotion, fostering global partnerships, and empowering salons. The Fondation Guillaume supports intensive junior training, emphasizing continual development. Social responsibility is a core focus, with increased annual support for socially disadvantaged youths through the "Education for Life" initiative.

Aspiration

Beauty in diversity
and authenticity.

Intercoiffure Mondial's new campaign, led by Global President Peter F. Pfister, celebrates the essence of beauty and individuality in a concise, 100-word statement. The campaign highlights versatile simplicity with soft curly waves in blonde, a sleek straight bob in caramel, or demure shoulder-length curls. Diversity and authenticity define beauty, emphasizing that honesty and self-confidence are more attractive than Instagram filters.

The campaign aims to deliver timeless hair fashion statements that resonate with salon customers worldwide. Pfister emphasizes Intercoiffure Mondial's commitment to masterful quality, showcasing different hair colors and lengths to reflect the organization's global openness and assert its position as the world's leading hairdressers.

Management Management Management

I.M.M.
Intercoiffure Mondial Management

Intercoiffure hairstylists live and breathe authenticity, identity,
international flair and individuality.

Intercoiffure is an association, and to manage all activities, handle funds officially and correctly, and professionally address all necessities, a professional management is required.

For this purpose, I.M.M. (Intercoiffure Mondial Management) was established as a company. The headquarters of this company is located in France, at the House of Nations, from where the entire organization is directed. From a tax perspective, I.M.M. is considered a French company.

Is the Company who is owned by Intercoiffure Mondial members and shareholders and is handling all topics about the house-ownership. Located in the heart of Paris, this house matches its ambitions and can accommodate a large number of worldwide members.
The key idea of the organization of hairdressers is to fill with life the new House of Nations and Studio Guillaume, to make of these premises a place of creation and inspiration. The House of Nations has indeed been designed to welcome teams of hairdressers warmly invited to photograph their collections, perform trainings, workshops and seminars as well as photo shoots.

Shaping the future and shaping beauty.

This house is also a great place for history, a beautiful museum where many works of art mainly bequeathed by Guillaume, Cocteau, Lloyd, Gruau and Fini perfectly find their place. The House of Nations, dressed in its finery, is also a beautiful space out of time where it feels good to pause and admire exquisite paintings, drawings and sculptures.

Shaping the future and shaping beauty.

On that evening, the association honored M. Otto Sommer who masterfully completed the acquisition of the House of Nations.
The leaders of the organization were also much grateful to Ms. Tanaka and Ms. Tsubouchi and to all the donors for their strong support. Last but not least they warmly thanked the major partners of Intercoiffure Mondial, L’Oréal and Wella Professionals, for their tremendous support since the beginning of the project.

Generally speaking, a toast was raised to everyone who supported the project and participated in its acquisition, renovation or decoration.

Fondation Guillaume

Guillaume Guglielmi (1903-1989) was not only one of the greatest coiffeurs of the last century, but also a highly gifted sculptor, avantgarde artist and a patron of the arts.

The young and wild ones from Intercoiffure Mondial are open-minded, cosmopolitan and have boundless enthusiasm. Their creations are bold, experimental and revolutionary. The Fondation Guillaume, the young talents association of Intercoiffure Mondial, was established in 1982. The only condition is that the juniors (aged between 18 and 27) have unconditional passion for hairstyling, beauty and international relations.

The future belongs to young people; we have to understand them for the future of our profession.

Education
for life

Intercoiffure unites the world's premier hairdressers, setting high standards for the professional and human quality of its members. This commitment inspired the association to engage socially and aid those less fortunate.

In 2004, we laid the foundation in Paris with the "Education for Life" program. Guided by the philosophy that "encouraging young people and providing prospects through qualified training is our duty," we offer not just hope but, crucially, a future. The inaugural project, "Casa Do Menor," emerged as a lifeline for youths in Rio de Janeiro's slums. Jens Dagné led the establishment of "Intercoiffure Charity Deutschland e.V." in Germany, aiming to support these initiatives. As President of Education for Life, Jens Dagné collaborates globally with Vice President Dan Studer and Intercoiffure Charity delegates to implement hairdressing school projects across diverse nations.

The future belongs to young people; we have to understand them for the future of our profession.
