Tony Kaye, founder of Coiffeur Transocean, passes away
Tony Kaye, founder of onboard spa services provider Coiffeur Transocean, has died peacefully at home at the age of 85.
A spa industry pioneer, British-bron Tony Kaye started his career as a jazz musician before moving into the beauty industry.
His first venture within beauty was to open onboard hair salons before moving into cruise ship spas.
He was responsible for the first purpose built onboard spa, based on the SS Norway.
In 1994 Tony Kaye oversaw the merging of the Coiffeur Transocean business with Steiner Leisure - resulting in the company being called Steiner Transocean and it becoming the largest cruise ship spa operator in the world.
He is survived by his son Alexis Kaye who lives in London, UK.
A book on Tony Kaye's life - titled G Strings and Curls - was published in 2006.
