Best of Masters: Michael O'Rourke

 

When people mention icons of the professional beauty industry, Michael O'Rourke is certainly on the list. A truly inspiring visionary, Michael was the driving force behind the Carlton Hair Salon chain and the founder of Sexy Hair Concepts. A powerful presenter with a dynamic stage presence, Michael stays true to his first love: the hair artist. To see him in action is to know that beauty has no boundaries and that the professional beauty industry knows no equal.

Winn Claybaugh interviewed this loving, powerful man soon after Michael received NAHA's Lifetime Achievement Award.

“Michael is industry royalty, and a bit of a rock star,” Winn Claybaugh says. “I have always enjoyed any interaction with Michael, so to capture his story for all to hear was a feather in my cap.”
