Summary
Ted Gibson and Jason Backe are not just celebrity hairdressers — they're the blueprint. Between styling Angelina Jolie, Anne Hathaway, Lupita Nyong'o, and gracing the pages of every major publication, these two built something the industry had never seen before. And they're not done. In this episode, Ted and Jason get real about what it actually takes to build a lasting career in beauty, why being booked and busy isn't the flex we think it is, and how their new venture Ted Gibson Beauty Wellness Science is shifting the conversation from external beauty to wellness from the inside out. They also break down their upcoming Convergence Beauty Wellness Science Summit — a first-of-its-kind two-day event bringing consumers and professionals into the same room in Palm Springs, CA on May 3rd & 4th, 2026. This one is for every beauty professional who's ever undercharged, overworked, or wondered if there's more. ✨ Ted Gibson – Co-Founder of Ted Gibson Beauty Wellness Science, Celebrity Hairstylist & TV Personality Based in Palm Springs, CA IG: @tedgibson Website: www.tedgibson.com ✨ Jason Backe – Co-Founder of Ted Gibson Beauty Wellness Science, Celebrity Colorist & Educator Based in Palm Springs, CA IG: @jasonbacke Website: www.jasonbacke.com ✨ Convergence Beauty Wellness Science Summit May 3 & 4, 2026 — Palm Springs, CA IG: @convergencebws Website: www.tedgibson.com/pages/convergence TIME STAMPS: 00:00 – Intro 00:40 – Welcome & Setting the Stage 01:11 – Kim Reads Their Accomplishments 04:55 – When Did It Become Bigger Than Just Hair? 07:19 – We Don't Find Hair, Hair Finds Us 09:08 – Life & Business Partners: Who's the Visionary? 12:01 – Opposites Who Share the Same Values 13:28 – How They Navigate Disagreements & The Power of Listening 16:05 – Is the…
