PROJECT MEN & MEDIA WITH CHARLIE GRAY, GLOBAL EDUCATOR MEN’S HAIRDRESSING

The team spent the day at the Aveda HQ in London with Charlie Gray, a visionary educator with over 15 years in the hair industry & founder of Hair In Motion. Hair In Motion was born from a deep understanding of what stylists truly need, education that is not only innovative but also relatable, affordable, and built for the future."

Sam Justice comments: “The Aveda salon and academy space was very inviting and comfortable to be in. It was great to see the ways in which Charles approaches his haircuts and the techniques and methods he applies to create the desired look.”

Darcey Clarke comments: “It was an incredible experience spending the day at the Aveda HQ with Charlie and the Hair in Motion team. As both a barber and a hairdresser, I truly valued seeing both disciplines demonstrated side by side. Charlie and Rachel shared a wealth of knowledge, breaking down multiple haircuts and thoughtfully explaining the reasons behind each technique to achieve specific results. It was an inspiring and educational day that left me feeling motivated and creatively refreshed.”

Billy Ryan added: “As someone who’s been cutting hair for a long time, I sometimes go into education days wondering if there’s still something new to learn. Days like this remind me why ongoing education is so important. Watching Charles and Rachel from Hair in Motion work was inspiring and I’m heading back to the salon with new ideas and the motivation to push myself creatively.”
