Not a salon professional? Fill in your "lifestyle or profession" as you read.
Before We Tell You What We Teach...
We Want You to Know We Understand.
We Get It.
Not because we read it in a book.
Because we've lived it.
For decades we've stood exactly where you're standing.
We've celebrated with clients who became like family.
We've worried about making payroll.
We've wondered where the industry was headed.
We've reinvented ourselves more than once.We've been employees, salon owners, educators, consultants, manufacturers, marketers...and lifelong students of what makes people come back again and again.
We've experienced seasons when business seemed effortless...
And seasons when it felt like everything was changing.
We've heard every expert promise that the answer was another marketing trick...
Another app...
Another social media strategy...
Another price increase.
Sometimes those things help.
But deep down...
Most salon professionals aren't looking for another tactic.
They're looking for someone who understands what they're carrying.
Someone who understands that behind every salon is a person who simply wants to build a business they love walking into every morning.
If that's where you are today...
We get it.
Because we've been there too.
...And that's where AHead of My Future™ begins.
Why We Never Stopped Searching
For more than forty years, we've been fascinated by one simple question...
Why do some businesses become unforgettable while others slowly become ordinary?
That question followed us everywhere.
Behind the salon chair.
Inside classrooms.
Through product development.
Across consulting projects.
Into Hollywood.
And yes...
Into Disney Parks.
Long before AHead of My Future™ existed, we found ourselves constantly watching.
Listening.
Asking questions.
Why do people wait in line for hours with a smile on their face?
Why do they eagerly return to some places year after year?
Why do some experiences become stories people tell for decades?
We weren't looking for entertainment.
We were studying what creates lasting memories.
Over time, we realized something.
The businesses people remember aren't always the biggest.
They aren't always the cheapest.
And they aren't always the most talented.
...They're the ones that make people feel something.
That realization changed the way we looked at salons...
Businesses...
Leadership...
And eventually...
The future itself.
AHead of My Future™ wasn't created because we wanted to teach another business program.
It was created because we wanted to share everything we've spent a lifetime discovering about building memorable experiences, meaningful relationships, and a business you genuinely love coming back to every morning.
Sometimes the right teacher enters your life at exactly the right time.
Where Disney Entered the Story
For decades, we had been asking questions.
Then one day...
We met someone who had spent years asking many of the very same questions inside one of the most admired organizations in the world.
Disney's Vance Morris.
Meeting Vance didn't change our direction.
It confirmed it.
He gave language and structure to ideas we'd been exploring throughout our careers and challenged us to think even bigger.
That's why this experience is so unique.
You'll learn Disney's timeless business principles directly from Vance...
And then spend the next part of the journey translating those principles into practical strategies specifically for the salon industry with Alan & Cheryl.
That's where transformation begins.
How AHead of My Future™ Works
We've discovered that lasting transformation almost always follows the same journey.
Not just in business.
In life.
First, you discover something you've never seen before.
Then you learn how it applies to your own world.
Finally...
You begin living differently because of it.
That's exactly how we've designed AHead of My Future™.
Learn
Discover timeless business principles that have created unforgettable customer experiences for generations.
Not passing trends.
Not gimmicks.
Principles that continue to work because people haven't changed.
Translate
This is where AHead of My Future™ becomes different.
Alan & Cheryl help you translate every principle into practical strategies specifically for the salon industry.
Because inspiration is exciting...
But implementation changes businesses.
Transform
Return home seeing your salon differently.
Create experiences clients can't wait to talk about.
Build deeper relationships.
Develop greater confidence in the future you're creating.
And perhaps most importantly...
Love your business again.
That's how AHead of My Future™ is designed.
Learn.
Translate.
Transform.
Why This October Is Different
Every once in a while, life presents an opportunity that simply wasn't part of the original plan.
This October is one of those moments.
Because of a unique set of circumstances surrounding
Disney's Vance Morris' Making the Magic Boot Camp, we've
been given the opportunity to welcome salon professionals into this experience at a tuition level we never imagined we'd be able to offer.
We didn't create this opportunity.
We simply recognized it.
Rather than treating it as a discount...
We've chosen to treat it as an invitation.
An invitation for salon professionals who may have believed an experience like this was beyond their reach.
An invitation to become part of the first public Founders Cohort of AHead of My Future™.
When this October experience concludes...
So does this opportunity.
Not because we're creating artificial urgency.
Because the circumstances that made it possible are unique to this event.
If you've been waiting for the right time...
...Perhaps this is it.
Included In Your Experience
✔ Making the Magic Boot Camp with Disney's Vance Morris
✔ AHead of My Future™ with Alan & Cheryl
✔ Translation of every principle into practical strategies
✔ Your Founders Cohort experience
✔ New relationships with like-minded salon professionals
✔ A future you'll begin designing before you ever return home
Ready to Take the Next Step?
If this feels like the next chapter you've been looking for, we'd love to begin the conversation with you.
Already know you're coming?
Why Vance Morris?
Every once in a while, you meet someone whose life has been spent asking many of the same questions you've been asking yourself.
That's how we felt when we met Disney's Vance Morris.
Vance spent years inside one of the world's most admired organizations studying what creates unforgettable customer experiences and extraordinary loyalty.
As we got to know him, we realized something.
We weren't starting over.
We were speaking the same language.
His experience inside Disney...
Combined with our decades in the salon industry...
Created something neither of us could have built alone.
That's why this isn't simply a Disney seminar.
And it isn't simply a salon business workshop.
It's the meeting of two worlds...
One teaching timeless business principles.
The other translating those principles into the everyday
realities of building an unforgettable salon business.
That's what makes this experience unlike anything else.
What You'll Begin Seeing Differently
The magic isn't in simply seeing what Disney does.
It's learning to see why it works—and discovering how those same principles can transform the way you think about your clients, your team, your business, and your future.
Throughout the experience, Alan & Cheryl help translate what you're seeing into the realities of salon life—so you don't return home merely inspired.
You return home seeing possibilities you may never have noticed before.
From Inspiration to Application
Seeing something remarkable is one thing. Knowing what to do with it when you return home is another.
That's where AHead of My Future™ becomes different.
Throughout this experience, you won’t simply learn why Disney does what it does. Together, we’ll continually bring those ideas back to your world—your customers, your team, your business, and the future you’re creating.
Because an idea only becomes valuable when you can make it your own.
Learn.
Translate.
Transform.
LEARN
First, you experience the principles firsthand. You see what extraordinary service, intentional systems, attention to detail, and a carefully designed customer experience actually look and feel like.
TRANSLATE
Then comes the question that changes everything:
“What does this mean for me?”
We help you translate what you’re seeing into your own world—your customers, your team, your systems, your opportunities, and even the way you think about your future.
TRANSFORM
Then you begin putting those discoveries to work.
Not by trying to become Disney.
By discovering what your version of extraordinary could become.
And that is where learning begins turning into transformation.
So What Will You Begin Seeing Differently?
Here are seven of the discoveries we’ll explore together—ideas you may never look at quite the same way again.
So...What Is Your Pixie Dust?
Disney's magic isn't really castles, characters or fireworks.
and ending:
That's your pixie dust.
And we intend to help you find it.
Before We Go to Disney...
Let's Find Out Where
You Want to Go.
We've spent enough time telling you what we think.
Now we'd like to know about you.
This is simply where we begin discovering
your version of the future.
It only takes a few minutes.
Have some fun with it.
And the wait time is less than 1 second.
Just click the button!
( At the end, there will be a button to return to find out the Unexpected News! )
An Unexpected Door Opened for October
When we originally created AHead of My Future™, this experience was designed to be offered at $7,995.
That investment would include Making the Magic Boot Camp as the foundational experience—followed by the deeper work of taking what you discover and translating it into your business, your life, and the future you're deliberately creating.
That was the plan.
Then something unexpected happened.
Because of a last-minute change in room availability at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort, Vance Morris suddenly found himself with an opportunity he hadn't anticipated.
Rather than let those rooms go unused, he chose to do something remarkably generous.
He opened a limited number of places for this October experience at a fraction of what would ordinarily be possible.
And when that door opened, we decided to open it to you.
Not as a lesser version of AHead of My Future™.
Not as a stripped-down program.
But as an extraordinary opportunity to begin the journey with us at the very place we believe provides one of the finest living classrooms for customer experience, leadership, service and possibility:
Walt Disney World.
Learn. Translate. Transform.
You'll learn alongside us.
We'll help you begin translating what you're seeing into your world—your clients, your team, your business, your family and your future.
And that is where transformation can begin.
What Your October Experience Includes
For four remarkable nights, the Grand Floridian becomes more than where you stay.
It becomes part of the classroom.
You'll experience Disney's approach to service not simply by hearing about it, but by living inside it—watching what happens from the moment you arrive, through the parks, the restaurants, the resort and the countless details most guests never consciously notice.
Your experience includes:
Four Nights at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort
Stay inside one of Walt Disney World's premier resorts, where the lessons in hospitality, detail and guest experience continue long after the day's sessions have ended.
Making the Magic Boot Camp
Vance Morris joins us to provide the foundational Disney service principles and systems that you'll learn to recognize, understand and begin applying to your own world.
Guided Disney Field Experiences
We'll take the learning beyond the meeting room and into Walt Disney World itself—where you'll begin seeing storytelling, service, theming, pricing, details and customer psychology through entirely different eyes.
Park Admission for the Guided Experiences
Your admission for the two in-park learning experiences is included.
Meals During the Experience
Because some of the most valuable conversations don't happen in a meeting room. They happen around a table, when an idea suddenly becomes personal.
Resources, Guides, Blueprints & Workbooks
You'll have tools to capture what you're discovering and begin turning inspiration into application.
And the AHead of My Future™ Difference
Throughout the experience, Alan & Cheryl will be there as your guides and concierge—helping you continually ask the question that matters most:
“What does this mean for my business, my life and the future I want to create?”
That's where AHead of My Future™ begins to become something much larger than a trip to Disney.
You don't simply come home remembering what you saw.
You come home seeing differently.
Why October Is Different
Under normal circumstances, the investment to begin this AHead of My Future™ experience would be $7,995.
And that's where we expected it to remain.
But because of the unexpected availability at Disney's Grand Floridian, Vance was able to make an extraordinary one-time accommodation for this October gathering.
We decided to pass that opportunity directly to you.
For This October Experience
$2,497 — Double Occupancy
or
$1,997 — Single Occupancy
This isn't a new price for AHead of My Future™.
It isn't where we expect future experiences to be priced.
It's simply an unexpected window that opened for October—and while it's open, we want the people in our world to have the opportunity to walk through it.
There are only a limited number of places available under this arrangement, and once they're spoken for, this particular opportunity is gone.
If you've been reading this page thinking,
“This feels like something I need to experience…”
we'd love to have you with us.
Come Begin Your AHead of My Future™ Journey With Us.
October 25–29, 2026 • Walt Disney World
Your Future Is Waiting
There are moments when an opportunity arrives exactly as you planned it.
And there are others that arrive unexpectedly.
This is one of those moments.
What began as an unusual opening at the Grand Floridian has given us the opportunity to invite a small group of people into the beginning of AHead of My Future™ under circumstances we may never be able to repeat.
If something you've read here has caused you to imagine your business differently…
your relationships differently…
or simply what you want the next chapter of your life to look like…
we hope you'll join us.
We'll be there with you—not simply as hosts, but as your guides and concierge throughout the experience.
Come curious.
Come ready to notice things you've walked past a hundred times before.
Come ready to ask:
“What could this make possible in my world?”
We'll take it from there.

The Boot Camp Is the Beginning.
Your Future Is the Destination.
Making the Magic Boot Camp gives us an extraordinary place to begin.
For four days, we'll step inside one of the world's most studied customer-experience organizations and look beyond what most visitors ever see.
But AHead of My Future™ was never created simply to teach you how Disney does Disney.
We're interested in how YOU do you.
What works in your hometown?
What makes your clients talk about you when you're not in the room?
What could make someone drive past three competitors to get to you?
What could make your team care more, your business run more easily, your clients become more loyal—and your work become more profitable?
Those are very different questions.
And they're why Alan & Cheryl are there beside you.
Vance Morris gives us an extraordinary framework and access to the principles behind Disney's service culture.
Our job is to help you translate what you're seeing into your world.
Whether your “company” is a large salon with a team, a small business with a handful of employees, or simply you, your chair and the clients who trust you, the question remains the same:
What would your business look like if it worked beautifully for the life you actually want to live?
That's where AHead of My Future™ begins.
We Didn't Create AHead of My Future™ Because We Had Everything Figured Out.
We created it because we didn't.
We've spent decades behind the chair, building businesses, creating products, working with teams, serving clients and learning what happens when your business begins demanding more and more of the person who created it.
We've had successes we're enormously proud of.
We've also made mistakes.
We've worked too hard at things that should have been easier.
We've wondered why something that looked successful from the outside didn't always feel quite as successful from the inside.
And somewhere along the way, the question changed.
It stopped being:
“How do we build a more successful business?”
And became:
“How do we build a successful business that also gives us a life we actually want?”
That's a much bigger question.
Because more clients aren't necessarily freedom.
More employees aren't necessarily freedom.
More revenue isn't necessarily freedom.
Even a waiting list isn't freedom if you've built a business that can't function without you.
AHead of My Future™ grew from our own search for something better—a way to deliberately design the business, experiences, relationships and future we wanted rather than simply becoming better at managing whatever happened next.
And that's why we're not standing on the sidelines of this experience telling you what you should do.
We're in it with you.
Learning.
Translating.
Transforming.
Because that's the journey.
And, we believe, it's where some of the most interesting parts of your future begin.
This Won't Feel Like Sitting in a Seminar.
Some of the most important conversations may happen when we're not sitting in a meeting room at all.
They may happen walking through a Disney resort.
Waiting for an attraction.
Over dinner.
Watching how a Cast Member handles something that almost nobody else noticed.
Or laughing together when one of us suddenly says:
“Wait. THAT'S what I need to do in my business.”
That's part of the adventure.
We'll learn from Vance. We'll study what Disney has built. We'll look closely at the systems, details and thinking that make extraordinary experiences repeatable.
Then Alan & Cheryl will help bring the conversation back to you.
What did you just see?
Why did it work?
What principle is hiding underneath it?
And most importantly:
How could that idea work in your business without trying to turn your business into Disney?
Because we're not going home to put mouse ears on the walls.
We're going home looking for something much more valuable:
Your magic.
The thing your competitors can't simply copy.
The experience your clients want to tell someone about.
The little details that become big reasons to return.
The systems that make excellence easier to repeat.
And perhaps even a few changes that allow the business to depend a little less on you—while producing more of what you actually wanted from it in the first place.
That's why we call this an experience, not simply an event.
We intend to learn a lot.
We also intend to have a ridiculous amount of fun doing it.
You Don't Have to Be Disney-Sized to Create Disney-Sized Loyalty.
In fact, you may have an advantage.
When you're close to your clients, you can notice things a giant corporation can't.
You know their names.
Their stories.
Their families.
What makes them laugh.
What makes them come back.
And sometimes even how they're feeling before they've said a word.
That's an extraordinary business asset.
But being good at what you do doesn't automatically mean the business around what you do is working as beautifully as it could.
Maybe you'd simply like:
More money in your pocket.
More of the right clients.
A waiting list instead of wondering where next Tuesday's appointments are coming from.
Clients who refer without being asked.
A team that understands what you're trying to create.
The ability to charge appropriately for an experience that's genuinely worth more.
Or maybe you're already successful—and you're wondering:
“How do I make this easier?”
That's a question we understand very well.
You might own multiple locations.
You might have six employees.
You might have one.
Or your entire company might be you, a pair of shears, a chair and a very full appointment book.
It doesn't matter.
The principles we'll explore aren't about becoming bigger.
They're about becoming better by design.
More distinctive.
More desirable.
More profitable.
More repeatable.
And ultimately, more supportive of the life you're building the business to provide.
You don't need Disney's castle.
You need to discover what makes people feel something special when they enter your world.
That's the magic we're after.
We Take the Future Seriously. We Just Don't Believe You Have to Be Serious All the Time to Create It.
Some of our best ideas didn't happen in boardrooms.
They happened standing in line at Disney.
We've escaped celebrity after-parties after working backstage at Hollywood events because we'd rather go to Disneyland.
We've spent weeks getting “camera ready” for a photo shoot—and celebrated finishing it with a dessert hop instead of a bar hop.
We've laughed through circumstances that, years ago, might have ruined an entire day.
And somewhere along the way, we realized something:
Joy isn't what happens after you've finally figured everything out.
It can be part of how you figure things out.
When something goes wrong, we've become much less interested in spending our energy complaining about what happened.
We'd rather look at each other, sometimes laugh at the absurdity of it, and ask:
“Okay. What do we create from here?”
That's really a future question.
And it's very much part of AHead of My Future™.
We're going to think seriously.
Ask difficult questions.
Challenge assumptions.
Look closely at money, systems, customers, service, time, freedom and the way your business actually works.
But we're also going to eat wonderful meals.
Walk through Disney.
Talk in lines.
Notice things.
Tell stories.
Laugh.
And probably have conversations none of us could have planned before we arrived.
Because we don't believe your future should merely work better on paper.
We think it should feel better to live in, too.

Meet the Guides Behind the Journey
Before AHead of My Future™ ever existed...
Before we met Disney's Vance Morris...
Before there was a framework...
There were simply two curious people asking questions.
Why do some businesses become unforgettable?
Why do clients stay for decades?
Why do some experiences become stories people tell for the rest of their lives?
For more than forty years, those questions shaped everything we did.
As stylists.
Salon owners.
Educators.
Manufacturers.
Consultants.
Business builders.
And lifelong students of extraordinary experiences.
Along the way, we discovered something.
The businesses people love most aren't built by accident.
They're built intentionally.
One memorable experience at a time.
That curiosity eventually led us to Disney.
It led us to Vance Morris.
And ultimately...
It led us to create AHead of My Future™.
Not to teach another business system.
But to help salon professionals build businesses they genuinely love walking into every morning.
Because we've been there too.
And we'd be honored to walk the next part of the journey with you.
😊

FAQS
What makes the wraparound experience different?
Most events end when the speaker finishes. This experience continues with a guided exploration of Magic Kingdom, where Alan and Cheryl help you see Disney’s customer experience systems operating in real time.
It’s like watching the lessons come to life.
What happens after the event?
Participants receive a 12-week email integration series designed to help them implement the lessons inside their own businesses and life.
Do I need a specific type of business?
No. The systems taught during this experience apply to any business that serves customers.
What if I "never want to leave this magical place" and want to stay a few days longer?
WE definitely know that “Where Dreams Come True” feeling and song, too, by the way! With your participation, you will be getting a Disney Microsite where you can purchase all kinds of things including extra park tickets, event tickets, passes, etc. Suppose at the last minute, your sister decides to meet you at WDW on closing day of the DSNI Boot Camp and wants to bring her 2 children. You can use the micro site to purchase your extra tickets AND THEIR tickets, too, at discounted prices. Also, you can even extend your room stay at the already heavily discount rates, rather than full price. Of course, certain restrictions apply, but it’s totally fine to stay afterwards and take advantage of having all your “Dreams Come True.” (Hint: Disney LOVES that this happens and they make it their business to keep you there as long as you want, so don’t book your departure too closely!)
Do I have to pay for Disney park tickets separately?
No. For attendees, the park tickets are included in the total package. You can purchase discounted park tickets for family members or yourself if you are extending your stay. We'll give you access to a special website where you an make your purchases. Since Disney has an almost infinite number of ticket combinations, we can’t give you a hard cost. However, your discount will be in 10-12% off full price. There are also partial day tickets available that you will not find on the Disney website. You will only be able to get those from us.
My business is different from Disney. Can I really expect to discover the secrets of growing my business?
Yes! Whatever industry you’re in, you’ll find many ways to adapt what Disney does, and be able to profit mightily. It also works for one person business owners, and as one mom said, "I want to be the best Mom possible!"
Can someone stay in the room with me?
But of course! Bring the whole family. Great way to write off a vacation. The rooms typically have 2 queen beds as well as a pull out sofa bed. 5 people can fit in the room, albeit a bit snuggly.
I still don't understand if I'm not a beauty or salon business, how will this work for me?
That’s understandable! This whole experience is completely unique in its appproach and delivery. It might even seem that the more explanation you get, the more confusing it becomes. Alan’s and Cheryl’s concierge like hosting and service is the key. You have a desire to participate, to take your life and your current or new business or project to the next level. The Boot Camp delivery is a model of “looking into and translating” Disney magic into your desired outcomes. Alan & Cheryl are your eyes and ears throughout the process, to have you get CLEAR quickly on what there is to do, pay attention to and to discard along the way according to their laser-like focus and experience that will “short-cut” you into having massive and magical results in record time!
How do I prepare to get the maximum value from this program?
That’s part of the fun and the “magic” if you will!
Just register. The moment you do, pay attention to the feeling that washes over you IN THAT MOMENT! You may want to write it down, email us or even call us IN THAT MOMENT. It begins in that very thought–seriously. From there, your job will be organizing your travel and home life to support your getting to the DSNI Boot Camp/AHeadofMyFuture event at the Walt Disney World Resort. Along the way, you’ll be getting communications from us and we will be “setting up” your experience that will certainly give you the maximum value! Also, just show up to the classes, meals, and even the times in the parks (especially the evening of the last Boot Camp Day at Magic Kingdom) for best results. It will also have you sure, rather than wondering if you missed out on anything! When Vance declares his portion complete (Boot Camp at 4:30,) the Ahead of My Future™ impact really takes off from there with actual "production" work that evening at Magic Kingdom at 5 PM!

Become the Stylist Everyone Talks About.
Build the kind of reputation that naturally creates waiting lists, lifelong clients, family referrals...
...and a business you genuinely love coming back to every morning.
Button:
Show Me How
(Hero image: smiling stylist with a full appointment book, interacting warmly with a client—not stock-photo glamour, but genuine connection and confidence.)
Imagine If...
Imagine clients who happily tell their friends, "You have to see my stylist."
Imagine entire families trusting you with their hair—from moms and dads to sons, daughters, and eventually grandchildren.
Imagine people asking to be put on your waiting list because they don't want to go anywhere else.
Imagine attracting more of the clients you enjoy serving instead of constantly wondering where your next new client will come from.
Imagine your appointment book becoming your best marketing tool.
Imagine looking forward to walking into your salon (suite) every morning because you've built a business that reflects who you are, serves the people you love working with, and rewards you for doing what you do best.
That isn't a fantasy.
It's exactly the kind of business Alan & Cheryl spent decades building, refining, and reinventing throughout every stage of their careers.
Now they're inviting a small group of salon professionals to discover how those same timeless principles—combined with world-class customer experience strategies inspired by Disney and translated specifically for the beauty industry—can help you build your own next chapter.
This isn't about becoming busier.
It's about becoming unforgettable.

The Salon Advice You've Heard For Years...
Sound Familiar?
If you've been in the beauty industry for any length of time, you've probably been told...
"Raise your prices."
"Post more on Instagram."
"Make more TikTok videos."
"Offer another promotion."
"Remodel your salon."
"Hire an assistant."
"Add this to the list of your services."
"Go to a hairshow and learn this."
"Get a better booking app."
"Work longer hours."
Some of those ideas can certainly help...
But if they were the whole answer, wouldn't more salon professionals already have overflowing appointment books, waiting lists, and businesses they genuinely love running?
The truth is...
Most business advice focuses on getting people through your front door.
Very little teaches you how to create an experience so memorable that clients naturally return, happily bring their friends and family, and become your greatest source of new business.
That's where everything begins to change.
Not with another marketing trick.
Not with another social media strategy.
But with learning how to create the kind of client experience that people can't stop talking about.
That's exactly what Alan & Cheryl have spent decades building—and what they'll help you begin building for yourself.
Why Some Stylists Become Legends
Why Some Businesses Become Destinations
Have you ever wondered why some businesses become so unforgettable that people happily drive farther, wait longer, and enthusiastically recommend them to everyone they know?
It's rarely because they're the cheapest.
It's not because they have the fanciest building.
And it isn't because they post more on social media than everyone else.
It's because they've learned how to create an experience people remember.
For decades, Alan & Cheryl discovered many of these principles firsthand while building loyal clientele, owning salons, educating professionals, consulting with businesses, working backstage, and creating products used around the world.
Long before they ever met Disney's Vance Morris, they were fascinated by one question:
Why do some clients return for decades while others quietly disappear?
Later, they found in Vance a kindred spirit.
As a former Disney leader, he had organized many of the same timeless principles into practical business systems that could be applied to almost any industry.
But salon professionals aren't "almost any industry."
The beauty industry has its own language.
Its own relationships.
Its own challenges.
Its own opportunities.
That's where Alan & Cheryl become your guides.
Instead of leaving you to figure out how Disney principles might apply to your salon, they'll help you translate them into practical ideas you can actually use behind the chair, in your consultation, with your team, and throughout every client experience.
You won't spend five days wondering,
"This is interesting...but how does this apply to me?"
You'll spend five days discovering exactly how it applies to the business you've spent your life building.
Because that's the business Alan & Cheryl know best.
Why do some businesses create customers who never leave?
Why do people gladly stand in line for some experiences while others struggle to keep appointments full?
After decades behind the chair, Alan & Cheryl discovered those same principles at work in the world's most admired customer experiences—and learned how to apply them specifically to the beauty industry.

We've Walked In Your Shoes
Before we ever stood in front of a room teaching business...
Before we created products used around the world...
Before we studied Disney's legendary approach to creating unforgettable customer experiences...
We stood exactly where you're standing.
We worried about building clientele.
We celebrated when appointment books filled up.
We learned what it meant to earn a client's trust.
We experienced the pressure of payroll, rent, inventory, marketing, hiring, education, and every other challenge that comes with building a successful salon business.
Over the years, our journey led us through nearly every corner of the beauty industry.

🚀 AHead of My Future™
Everything we've learned along the way has led to one simple belief...
The greatest salons aren't built by accident.
They're built intentionally.
And once you understand the principles behind businesses people love talking about, you'll never look at your own salon and career the same way again.
That's why we're inviting only a small group of salon professionals to join us this October.
Not because we're trying to fill a room.
Because we want to help build futures.

What You'll Experience
What Your Clients Will Notice
You won't come home with another notebook full of ideas you'll never use.
You'll come home seeing your business differently.
And your clients will notice the difference, too.
They'll notice...
✔ They feel more welcomed than they ever have before.
✔ They start talking about their experience long after they leave your chair.
✔ They begin referring friends, family members, neighbors, and coworkers—without being asked.
✔ They become more loyal because they genuinely feel valued.
✔ They stop shopping around because they can't imagine going anywhere else.
✔ They trust your recommendations more because you've earned something far more valuable than another appointment—you've earned their confidence.
And you'll notice...
✔ Your calendar begins filling with the kinds of clients you actually enjoy serving.
✔ Marketing becomes less stressful because your happiest clients naturally become your greatest promoters.
✔ Your work becomes more enjoyable because you're building relationships instead of simply filling appointment slots.
✔ You stop wondering where your next client is coming from and start focusing on creating extraordinary experiences for the clients already sitting in your chair.
✔ You begin loving your business again—not because it suddenly became easier, but because it became more meaningful.
This isn't about learning a collection of business tips.
It's about becoming the salon professional people can't stop talking about.
Why Alan & Cheryl?
There are plenty of people who can teach business.
There are plenty of people who can teach customer service.
There are even people who can teach Disney.
But very few have spent decades living the salon life before stepping onto the stage.
We've stood behind the chair.
We've owned salons.
We've built businesses.
We've reinvented ourselves more than once.
We've worked with clients who became friends... then brought their children... and eventually their grandchildren & even great grandchildren.
We've watched trends come and go.
We've seen the industry change.
We've made mistakes.
We've learned what lasts.
Then, after decades of studying unforgettable client experiences, we discovered Disney's Vance Morris.
Meeting Vance was like finding someone who spoke a language we'd been learning throughout our own careers—but with a framework that organized, expanded, and elevated our understanding in ways we had never imagined.
That's why this experience is different.
You're not simply attending a Disney business program.
You're attending it alongside two people who speak your language, understand your challenges, and help translate every major idea into practical strategies you can apply in the beauty industry.
You don't have to wonder...
"How would this work in my salon?"
We'll be working on that answer with you every step of the way.
That's the advantage of learning from people who've already walked the road you're traveling.
Is This You?
This experience was created for salon professionals who are ready for more—not necessarily more hours, but more purpose, more enjoyment, more opportunity, and a business that grows because people genuinely love talking about it.
You may see yourself here if...
✓ You've built a loyal clientele but know there's another level waiting for you.
✓ You're tired of feeling like social media has become a second full-time job.
✓ You want clients who refer their friends naturally instead of constantly searching for new ones.
✓ You'd love to have an appointment book that fills because of your reputation—not because of the latest promotion.
✓ You believe exceptional client experiences will always outperform gimmicks.
✓ You're ready to build a business that feels as rewarding emotionally as it does financially.
✓ You're curious what could happen if someone finally translated world-class customer experience principles into the language of the beauty industry.
✓ You're excited by the thought of spending five days with salon professionals who believe their best years are still ahead of them.
If you found yourself nodding your head more than once...
We think you're going to feel right at home.
Before We Go Any Further...
We'd love to get to know you.
Not through another long application.
Not through a sales call.
Just through a little Disney fun.
Over the years, we've discovered something interesting...
People who love creating unforgettable experiences for their clients often have something else in common.
They love Disney.

That Was Fun...
And maybe a little revealing.
Whether your favorite place is Main Street, Adventureland, Tomorrowland, or somewhere completely different...
One thing has always fascinated us.
People don't return to Disney because of rides alone.
They return because of how Disney makes them feel.
The same thing is true of extraordinary salon businesses.
Clients don't stay for decades because of a haircut alone.
They stay because of how you make them feel every time they walk through your door.
That's exactly what we'd love to explore with you this October.
Ready to discover how those same timeless principles can transform your salon, your clients' experience, and the future of your career?

What You'll Experience
Forget everything you think a typical business seminar looks like.
This isn't five days of sitting in a chair while someone lectures from a stage.
This is an immersive experience designed to help you see your business—and your future—through completely new eyes.
During these five unforgettable days, you'll...
✨ Experience Disney's legendary business principles through the teachings of Vance Morris.
✨ Work alongside Alan & Cheryl as they translate every major concept into practical strategies specifically for salon professionals.
✨ Learn how unforgettable client experiences naturally create stronger loyalty, enthusiastic referrals, and a reputation that continues growing long after you return home.
✨ Spend time with other salon professionals who believe their best years are still ahead of them.
✨ Begin designing the next chapter of your business instead of simply reacting to whatever comes next.
✨ Leave with a clearer vision, practical ideas you can immediately begin applying, and a renewed excitement for the career you've spent years building.
But perhaps the greatest transformation isn't something you'll write in your notebook.
It's the way you'll begin seeing yourself...
...and what's possible.
Because once your vision for the future changes...
Everything else begins changing with it.

Alan and Cheryl guide you through the entire journey; before, during, and after the bootcamp — helping you translate Disney’s principles into real-world strategies for your own business.
"I Learned so much from you guys!WOW!!! That is amazing time! TAhhh, that means the world to me, Alan. I didn't know who would be attending when I signed up. But let me tell you how much YOU made the trip so memorable and fun. Thank you so much!!!"
- Jenny Hendricks
“As I was figuring out life and my career over 20 years ago, Alan looked me in the eye mid-haircut and said, ‘You love travel. Open a business doing that.’ It might have sounded simple, but I felt it in my soul.”
— Kim Gustavsson, Founder of Concierge Travel
"It may seem small in one way, but I had gotten to a point of such frustration with the little things in life, like traffic, and to my surprise, since AHead of My Future, I catch myself surprisingly cool about it! Given how bad my temper had gotten, this is a miracle! Plus, I'm sleeping better, family members are asking me what happened to me that I'm so happy, and truly for the first time, maybe ever, I am not anxious about my future. I can actually have the negative thoughts and in that instant, switch to the scene I developed and my thinking changes. Retirement was not looking so good, and now I feel really good about it and enjoying it with clarity. " - Sandra
"I love the feeling of freedom from the absence of this one person, and in a new way with 2 new clients from CA and SC!! (with my new higher fees) Just realized that!! Thanks for the teachings that are coming through ” --D.O.
"I can hardly believe myself and how life is so different. Everything seems to be working better than ever, and then the "reruns" start in, and it's so obvious. My life used to be all reruns, and now I just switch to my movie premiere and life gets really easy again!"--S.J.
EVENT OF THE YEAR
Limited Time Only
AHead of My Future-3 Day Experience at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort in Orlando, Florida, October 25, 26 & 27, 2026
Why Does AHead of My Future™ with Alan & Cheryl Begin with Making the Magic Boot Camp by Vance Morris?
Because before you can fully redesign a future…
…it helps to finally understand how extraordinary experiences are actually created.
Inside Making the Magic Boot Camp with Vance Morris, you begin seeing what most people never notice.
Why certain businesses instantly create trust.
Why some environments energize you while others quietly drain you.
Why some people command loyalty, momentum, emotional connection, and opportunity almost effortlessly.
And why others, despite working incredibly hard, continue repeating the same frustrating patterns.
You will quickly realize these outcomes are rarely accidental.
They are designed.
Using principles inspired by The Walt Disney Company, Vance reveals how environment, systems, emotional cues, sequencing, standards, service, and intentional details quietly shape human behavior and experience every single day.
And something extraordinary begins happening when you experience these principles in real time inside Walt Disney World itself.
You go beyond understanding the ideas intellectually.
You begin feeling them.
Recognizing them.
By now seeing invisible patterns have been influencing your own life, business, decisions, energy, confidence, relationships, and future all along, desired outcomes show up like never before!
And this is precisely where Alan & Cheryl further guide you to the next level.
Rather than spending days attempting to explain how they help people create breakthroughs, clarity, momentum, emotional freedom, renewed purpose, and seemingly “impossible” life shifts…
…the Boot Camp gives you the map & tools first.
A fast, accurate, real-world framework that allows you to immediately recognize why certain parts of your life feel aligned…
…and why other parts no longer fit.
From there, Alan & Cheryl help you begin identifying what deserves to move forward now.
Sometimes it is business.
Sometimes relationships.
Sometimes confidence.
Sometimes a dream you quietly gave up on years ago.
Sometimes it is simply the feeling that your life is supposed to become something more than repetition and survival.
You will not experience this as a lecture.
You will experience it as recognition.
Like suddenly seeing the architecture behind experiences, emotions, reactions, and possibilities that previously felt random or unreachable.
The Boot Camp is not separate from AHead of My Future™ with Alan & Cheryl.
It is one important “land” within the larger experience.
A foundation that allows the clarity, breakthroughs, direction, and transformation that follow to happen with far greater speed, precision, and emotional impact, especially in areas that you desire the most!
And for many participants…
…it becomes immediately obvious they are just getting started!
Which is why the next experience now exists.

Testiomonials
I was skeptical, but I tried the Luxury Facial Serum and I'm blown away by the results! My skin looks brighter, tighter, and years younger. I get compliments daily on my 'glowing' complexion. I will never stop using this product.
Jane Doe
This is the only mascara that holds a curl and doesn't run down my face by noon. It adds tons of volume for full sexy lashes that look falsie perfect from morning to midnight.
Jane Doe
I used to spend a fortune on department store skin creams that just didn't deliver. Since switching to Eco Wellness's all-natural serums and moisturizers, my skin has never looked better. High quality for an amazing price.
