What happens when you mix a luxury cruise, a room full of inspired salon owners, and two of the most driven educators in the industry? You get Evolve at Sea—an immersive business retreat designed to shake up the status quo in the beauty world.
Led by Garnish’s own Candice Motley and Amber Robinson, Evolve at Sea sets sail next week. It’s more than a retreat; it’s a movement.
Not Just a Getaway—A Growth Experience
Evolve at Sea is the first of its kind: a salon business retreat aboard a luxury cruise ship. But don’t let the ocean breeze fool you; this isn’t your average “conference with cocktails.” It’s a deep dive into what it takes to build a business that’s not only profitable but also purposeful.
Candice and Amber designed the curriculum to reflect what they’ve lived and breathed for years at Garnish:
✔️ Team-first leadership
✔️ Wealth building without burnout
✔️ Systemizing success while keeping your soul intact
It’s for stylists and owners who want to scale their business without losing themselves—or their joy—in the process. And this year’s itinerary is packed with gold. Thinking about joining next time? Read on, but beware; the FOMO risk is real!
-
Workshop 1: Getting to Know Your Golden Girl Archetype
It all starts with YOU. This session is designed to help attendees unlock the deeper story behind their leadership style and salon culture. -
Workshop 2: The Golden Reset
You’ve got the vision—but now it’s time to rebuild better. This powerful workshop walks salon owners through mindset shifts and practical strategies to break free from burnout and rebuild from a place of strength. -
Workshop 3: From Glue to Gold
Leading a team doesn’t mean losing yourself. This final session dives into the balance between leading with integrity and maintaining boundaries that preserve your joy and longevity in this career.
Why Candice & Amber?
If you’ve been around the Garnish universe for more than a minute, you know these two don’t just teach—they do. Candice has built Garnish from the ground up into a nationally recognized studio. Amber has led the charge on team growth, operations, and systems that make the magic sustainable.
They’ve both lived the hustle. And now, they’re rewriting the playbook.
Whether it’s a 1:1 mentorship or a room of 50 salon leaders, Candice and Amber are on a mission to raise the standard for what leadership in beauty can look like.
“Evolve isn’t about teaching salon owners how to do what we did. It’s about helping them discover what success looks like for them—and giving them the tools to build it on purpose.” — Amber
What Happens On Board?
Think workshops, guided strategy sessions, mindset shifts, and plenty of open-ocean inspiration. Attendees will walk away with:
-
Clear action plans for scaling with ease
-
Confidence in their numbers (yes, even if spreadsheets make you sweat)
-
Systems for leading their teams without micromanaging
-
A new circle of boss-level beauty pros cheering them on
Plus, there’s plenty of time to recharge, reconnect with themselves, and dream big.
What’s Next?
After Evolve at Sea, Candice is off to Ireland to launch an exciting international partnership. It’s a reminder that education doesn’t stop—even when you’re leading the room. As a lifelong student and passionate mentor, Candice is always evolving (pun very much intended).
For now, though, her heart (and suitcase) is packed for this week at sea.
