“Ranked as one of the Top 60 Motivational Speakers and Educators In The World” by hunger2succeed, Charles Marcus, originally from England, now a resident of Toronto, Canada, has many years of international experience and a track record of success in the salon and beauty industry as a stylist, educator, platform artist and salon manager and owner. He started his career working with the world-famous Vidal Sassoon Company, he moved on to work for the Bruce of Crescendo Hair Salons in Toronto, Canada before opening his own highly successful hair salons in Manchester, England.
Later he took his experience in a different direction, moving into the sales and service side of the hair and beauty industry first as a sales consultant, national educator then as a national sales manager with major manufacturers including Nexus Products Company. Over the years, Charles has represented several international companies, as a salon consultant, where he won many awards for sales and service excellence. He was always in the top 1% of sales achievers for his companies. In one 18 month period he opened 246 new accounts and increased sales in his territory by 328%.
What is truly remarkable about Charles is where he came from. For 25 years, he lived with a severe stuttering disability, suffering much ridicule, rejection and prejudice. He sometimes went for long periods of not being able to speak at all, living in a world of silence and dreaming of one day speaking fluently in public.
Charles realized his dream after making an important decision: to take full responsibility for his life and to confront his challenges and fears head-on by taking action. His powerful story of refusing to give up in the face of adversity, overcoming obstacles and winning against the odds has special meaning in the hair industry as it was the place where Charles found his true voice and his story encourages hairdressers to reach for their dreams and to realize nothing is impossible. He has instant credibility with a salon audience, hairdressers and owners relate to his presentation and it resonates with them in a very special way.
In 2000, Charles shifted his focus again and started a professional speaking and training business, delivering customized, customer service, leadership, salon business building and motivational keynote presentations and seminar/workshop programs and masterclasses. The value of his message was soon recognized by organizations within and outside of the salon and beauty industry, and today as a sought-after business educator, success strategist and world-class motivator, he speaks to corporations, organizations and associations in a variety of industries worldwide. However his first love remains speaking in the salon and hair industry to hairdressers, salon owners/managers, stylists, students, educators and platform artists.
He has worked at major shows in North America and Australia where he is invited back time and time again including International Beauty Shows (IBS) in New York and Las Vegas, Premiere Shows in Orlando and Columbus, Ohio, Americas Beauty Show (ABS) in Chicago, Professional Beauty Association (PBA) in Long Beach, CA, Chicago and Las Vegas, AlBA (Canada) in all major cities, and companies such as P&G Wella Salon Professional, Sweden Denmark, Australia, New Zealand, Finland Norway, Vidal Sassoon, Ratner Salons, Great Clips, Fantastic Sams, Goldwell and KMS, Millennium Software USA, Regis, Great Clips, Loreal, Schwarzkopf Canada and Australia, Paul Mitchell, Chromastics, The Millennium Experience, De Lorenzo, Hair Expo, Top Salon Summit, and numerous hair salons globally etc. He was most recently honoured to be selected international business judge for Hair Expo, Australia 2019 Awards.
Charles is also the author of the best-selling book Success Is Not a Spectator Sport: How to Take Action and Achieve More and co-author of several motivational and business books.

Facebook had a tough time in 2018 with data scandals and campaigns like #DeleteFacebook. This, paired with Instagram continuing to grow in the target demos for most schools, makes it tempting to abandon Facebook altogether. Although Instagram produced great engagement for schools, Facebook still produced 80% of their social media leads. We’ve analyzed over $350,000 in ad spend, 53 million impressions, and 100,000 link clicks across 31 schools and 67 locations in 2018 to show you why this social media platform is still one of your best, and cost efficient, marketing tools.

Fearless Beauties is a movement organized by a group of estheticians who recognize that skin of color has been ignored or forgotten. This group of diverse estheticians have done the research on black skin of African descent, Asian American skin, Latinx skin and East Indian skin and how it is different from Caucasian skin. In addition to introducing cultural and dietary influences that could affect skin health, their work includes information on how to conduct a thorough consultation with a person with multiethnic skin.
The claim that ‘everyone is beautiful’ needs to be validated by making services and products available to all ethnic, cultural and racial backgrounds. We are all Americans. We need to recognize and legitimize that these subsets within our country may have differing views of what is beautiful, different standards for beauty and different ways of honoring and respecting that beauty. By developing a more inclusive viewpoint, we elevate our entire industry.
