Meet a Coach - TED HALONE

Ted has been in the industry for over three decades. His passion for the industry moved him to be an "education junkie." This desire for learning and advancing the profession has led him down many avenues that he now shares with his peers.

Ted's life experience means he can coach objectively. He has worked behind the chair doing full-service hair care. When he has relocated, he successfully used creative marketing ideas to rebuild his client base. As a salon manager he has worked with inventory control of salon-use product as well as the selection of home-maintenance retail products.

After receiving his instructor's license he was selected to do advance educational training with manufacturers. Beginning as a technical support for platform Artists, he quickly moved to become the platform artist. Ted received extensive training in perm waving, haircutting and hair coloring – training used to support the manufacturers and distributors as he traveled the United States. Manufacturers hired Ted to evaluate products prior to their being launched on the market.

As a Platform Artist Ted has worked at The Heartland Expo in Minneapolis; Midwest Trade Show in Chicago; International Beauty Show in New York City, New England Expo in Boston, Hair Color USA in Miami; and International Hair color Exchange. Additionally he has traveled extensively throughout the United States training at smaller local events.

Ted has been recognized by manufacturers and distributors for both his technical skills and business development skills. He has been involved in launching distributors as they begin product distribution. He has worked as a salon sales consultant, trained the salon sales consultants as well as the technicians providing salon support. In this capacity he has streamlined technical manuals, written training manuals, provided support for the company technical hotline and has written technical tips for hairdresser use.

This diverse and vast industry experience has enabled Ted to see life from the point of view of many different people. He understands the challenges for the manufacturers, distributors, salon owners, independent contractors and individual stylist. His no-nonsense approach to business will bring value and action to you.
