A weekend to be remembered! Intercoiffure America/Canada Spring Atelier 2015 was a spectacular event held this past weekend in Boca Raton (Florida) attended by prominent members of Intercoiffure from all across North America!
The event was the first led by Frank Gambuzza as President of Intercoiffure America/Canada (ICA), who presented on stage the new Fashion Director of the association, the prestigious stylist Van Council, owner of the Van Michael Concept Salons in Atlanta. Gambuzza explained to all attendees that he had compiled a ‘wish list’ of favorite people for the position and had the enormous satisfaction to discover his top pick, Van Council, had accepted his proposal.
Alongside Gambuzza and Van Council, another important highlight of this Intercoiffure America/Canada Spring Atelier 2015 was the legendary Don Shaw, a former Fashion Director of the organization for 23 years, between 1981 and 2004, who got a thunderous standing ovation from all attendees.
