TIGI Copyright Colour: The Complete Guide for Australian Salon Professionals
If you've been watching the professional haircare space in Australia, you already know that TIGI Copyright Colour is back — and it's back with a renewed focus on what actually matters to working hairdressers: reliable results, creative range, and a distributor who understands salon life.
Parallel Distributions is the exclusive distributor of TIGI Copyright Colour across Australia and New Zealand, and this guide is designed to give salon owners and colourists everything they need to understand the system, stock it confidently, and use it to elevate the services they offer.
What Is TIGI Copyright Colour?
TIGI Copyright Colour is a professional permanent and demi-permanent colour system built on the philosophy that colour should be creative, consistent, and entirely in the hands of the hairdresser — not the formula.
The "copyright" concept is intentional: the colour belongs to you and your craft. The range is formulated to be intermixable across its full spectrum, which means you're never locked into pre-set results. Whether you need to nail a precise shade for grey coverage or you're pushing into fashion territory with high-lift blonde or rich copper tones, the system gives you the tools and the flexibility.
Key technical highlights of the range:
- PPD-free, wheat-free, and gluten-free formulation
- Penetration Delayed Oxidation (P•) technology for deeper, more even colour deposit
- Intermixable across Creative, Mix Master, High Lift Colour, and Demi Permanent lines
- Full activator range from 5 volume (1.5%) to 30 volume (9%)
Breaking Down the TIGI Copyright Colour System
Understanding the four core product lines helps you build a stocking strategy that suits your salon's clientele.
Creative Range
This is the backbone of the system — a low-ammonia permanent colour that delivers complete grey coverage and natural-looking results. The Creative range covers the full tonal palette from darkest brown through to light blonde, with warm, cool, and neutral variations throughout. If you're doing classic salon colour work, this is where most of your volume will sit.
Mix Master Range
Pure tone shades designed to be mixed into the broader system, giving you exact colour control when you need to adjust warmth, depth, or intensity. Mix Masters are the tools that let you personalise every formula — useful for corrective colour work, bespoke blends, or creating signature shades your clients can't get anywhere else.
High Lift Colour
For clients going light in one session without bleach, High Lift Colour delivers controlled lifting and tone simultaneously. This line is especially valuable for stylists working with natural base shades who want to achieve bright blondes efficiently.
Demi Permanent
The ammonia-free end of the range, ideal for toning, refreshing colour between appointments, and working with clients who have sensitivity concerns. TIGI's Demi Permanent sits comfortably alongside the permanent lines, making it easy to transition clients through different colour phases without switching systems.
Why Australian Salons Are Choosing TIGI Copyright Colour
The relaunch of TIGI Copyright Colour through Parallel Distributions wasn't just a product refresh — it came with a renewed commitment to salon education, training, and technical support. That matters, because colour performance in-chair is only part of the picture.
When you stock a colour system through Parallel Distributions, you're accessing:
Exclusive distribution — Parallel is the only authorised source of TIGI Copyright Colour in Australia and New Zealand. That means authenticity, consistent supply, and pricing that reflects a direct relationship with the brand.
Professional pricing structure — Whether you're a single-chair studio or a multi-location salon, the wholesale model is designed to protect your margins and reward volume.
Education and support — TIGI's training philosophy is built around hairdresser creativity. The technical education that comes with the range is designed to expand what you can offer, not just teach you how to use the product.
Stocking TIGI Copyright Colour: Where to Start
If you're adding TIGI Copyright Colour to your salon for the first time, a practical starting kit should cover:
- Creative Range core shades — Focus on the shades you know will move: your most-requested warm browns, natural blondes, and fashion reds.
- Mix Masters — At minimum, stock a clear, a gold, and an ash to cover the most common adjustments.
- Activators — The full TIGI activator range is available through Parallel. Stock at least 10 volume, 20 volume, and 30 volume for day-to-day flexibility.
- High Lift Colour — If you have clients who regularly ask for bright blondes, having the High Lift line available immediately opens up new service possibilities.
Ordering is straightforward through the Parallel Distributions wholesale account. If you're not yet set up, the process is quick — reach out through the Wholesale section of the site or contact the team directly.
Using TIGI Copyright Colour in Practice
A few notes from the technical side that experienced colourists will appreciate:
Mixing ratios — Standard mixing across the Creative and Mix Master ranges uses a 1:1 ratio with activator. High Lift Colour uses a 1:2 ratio (one part colour to two parts activator) for maximum lift. Always follow TIGI's recommended ratios — the P• technology is calibrated to these proportions.
Processing time — Creative and Mix Master: 30–45 minutes depending on depth of shade and desired result. High Lift: 45–60 minutes. Demi Permanent: 20–30 minutes.
Colour correction — This is where the Mix Master range earns its place. For corrections involving unwanted warmth, brassiness post-lightening, or uneven tone, Mix Masters give you the precision to address specific issues without affecting the whole formula.
Retailing Alongside the Colour System
TIGI Copyright also includes a haircare range designed to complement the colour work — the Copyright Care line. Stocking the take-home care products alongside your colour services is a straightforward retail opportunity: clients who've invested in a colour service want to protect that investment at home, and TIGI's retail range carries the same professional credibility as the colour system itself.
Products worth having on your retail shelf:
- Copyright Colour Protect Shampoo and Conditioner
- Copyright Care SOS Extreme Recovery Treatment (particularly relevant for clients receiving regular colour services)
