If being at the forefront of the industry is important to you, then tune in to todays episode.

I’m really excited to bring Charlie Gray, International Creative Director of the world renowned Menspire Art Team, onto the show. Right now Charlie and the Menspire Art Team are one of the hottest properties in the men’s hair industry internationally. Today we’re going to learn how together they’ve grown into an industry powerhouse – and how their Menspire Education could help you smash your goals in men’s hair work.

With a wealth of experience showcasing in the biggest shows worldwide such as Salon International, Cosmoprof and Hair Expo, Charlie has become an infamous and well respected educator amongst students and educators in many countries. Featuring on the biggest and some of the most highly respected online platforms such as hairbrained official and hairtribe TV it is no surprise why Charlie has hit over millions of views on social media.

Ever since I first introduced Charlie and the Menspire boys onto HairClubLive’s #OpenChairNight stage in 2015, I’ve been in utter awe of everything they do in mens hair. With their cool urban edge style, faultless technical foundations and mash-up vibes, I knew right then I was witnessing the birth of new industry superstars! And how they’ve proved me right!

I feel proud to have gotten to know the boys really well since that moment, and after listening in to today’s episode, you too, will know a whole lot more about Charlie, Menspire and all the incredible education work they offer! It’s a listen perfect for any moment in your day, so enjoy!
