Changing Lives with Ted Gibson and a Beauty Career
Tuesday, June 15th, 2010
Life has been very exciting and a dream come true for Ted Gibson. He gets to do something he loves every day and inspires many throughout the country. And now he can do this even more regularly. This celebrity hair stylist and salon guru has not only became the resident expert on everyone’s TLC favorite “What Not to Wear,” but also just recently partnered with the American Association of Cosmetology Schools (AACS) in their Beauty Changes Lives campaign.
Through Beauty Changes Lives, people can become educated on what a beauty career really means and how they might fit into that kind of world. It’s through having people like Gibson in support of his very own chosen career, that others may become inspired to do the same.
Gibson began speaking at conferences for AACS just last year but has since become a main face for the organization. In a recent press release, he said the following about his passion and work with the AACS: “My career in the beauty industry has allowed me to blend both my creative and entrepreneurial drives. The career has truly provided life changing opportunities and I feel both humbled and privileged to be part of this effort to raise awareness of beauty careers.”
Gibson has worked with the likes of Anne Hathaway, Demi Moore, Diane Sawyer, Jessica Alba, and more. His work has also appeared in countless magazines, including Vogue, Vanity Fair, and Cosmo. He also has two very successful salons; one in New York City and one in Washington, D.C. For more information on his latest job, check out BeautyChangesLives.org.
