New York, October 25, 2011 - Ted Gibson announces The ted gibson academy at sea, an exclusive opportunity for salon owners and stylists to spend a weekend with the renowned celebrity hairstylist himself, as well as those with a similar passion who want to become more financially successful and grow their craft. Everyone who comes on this journey will come back a changed and more accomplished business person and hair stylist.
The ted gibson academy at sea sets sail on Royal Caribbean’s The Majesty of the Seas from beautiful Fort Lauderdale, FL, home to the newest ted gibson salon located in the luxurious and chic W Hotel. We will embark on a four day, three night voyage from April 13 to April 16, 2012 with stops in Nassau Bahamas and the private Cococay Island. The Majesty of the Seas was selected as the cruise ship because of its attention to detail, commitment to excellence and its reputation as being amongst the very best in its class…much like Ted Gibson himself. Ted has partnered with some of the best in the business for this event that have exemplified a strong passion for hair and uphold the highest standards. L’Oreal Professional is our Platinum Sponsor and will be on-board with product and instruction while adding to the excitement and fun of the experience!
Ted is passionate about education and supporting the careers of hairstylists and salon owners. With this passion as his compass, Ted set out to create an amazing itinerary which will include hands-on classes in both cutting and coloring, styling tips, as well as valuable business classes which will leave you with direct and impactful advice thus increasing your salon revenue.
But the cruise is just the beginning, those lucky enough to secure a spot on this cruise will be a part of an exclusive group who will grow together as professionals. After the cruise, follow up tele-classes and on-line seminars presented by Ted and our sponsors will keep the magic of the event alive and help support you as you apply what you have learned to your salon and clients.
We created an event which will not only deliver on the education aspect, but leave you with memories for a lifetime, not to mention the new friends you will meet from around the country and the world! Prices for this incredible event range from $742.00 to $2,000 per person depending on selected accommodations. Special discounts apply for those who book early.
