MIZANI Announces New Global Artistic Team

Tippi Shorter’s hairstyles have topped the shoulders of many icons including Alicia Keys, Rihanna, Lady Gaga and Jennifer Hudson. Not only has her work graced the covers and editorial pages of trendsetting magazines, she is also regularly quoted in beauty articles where she showcases her expert knowledge on textured hair. Her strength as a trailblazer is undeniable as she became the first African-American beauty professional spokesperson for Pantene, the first Global Artistic Director for textured hair for Aveda and now joins the ranks as one of the first Artistic Directors for MIZANI.

Tippi has a true appreciation for texture, saying, “I am beyond excited to be a part of the MIZANI family. It is so refreshing and inspiring to be with a brand that speaks TEXTURE every day.”
