About

Collin Martin

Collin Martin is an insatiable figure in the world of platform artistry. Collin Martin has created multi-functional cuts with a keen eye while employing unconventional 3D sculpting for the past decade. His unconventional approach to hair has, in the words of a colleague, “brought the avant-garde to the people.”

Crediting his strong artistic background and over a decade of working with his hands, Collin has built and demonstrated a new philosophy concerning haircuts’ inner workings. From small classrooms to auditoriums, stylists, industry personnel, and enthusiasts have heard Collin’s voice trembling with visceral excitement as he openly dissects his approach to the structure of hairstyles—his “construction process”—and the tools he uses to create finery for his exclusive clientele.

Collin graduated from Masters of Cosmetology, a Pivot Point Member School, in 2007. Upon obtaining his Master Educator’s License, he began doggedly chasing a new yet functional approach to hair manageability, from shampooing to finalized style.
