Celebrity Stylist, successful salon owner, His award winning salon reached the height of popularity after being featured on Bravo TV, where they gathered millions of fans. Since this exposure, Martino and his salon have been featured in Modern Salon Magazine, Vogue, Launchpad, Behind the Chair, Salon Today, and The Golden Globes. Before creating his own brand, Martino By Martino Cartier, he was the International Artistic Director for Keratin Complex for 6 years and the Global Artistic Director for Hotheads for 2 years. Martino has been featured along with Tabatha Coffey, Kim Vo, Ken Paves, John Frieda and many more at the Stylist Choice Awards in Chicago. Martino's mother recalls him as a young child stating," He was born with a pair of golden shears in his hand. When he was only five years of age, a group of neighborhood children were all watching cartoons together, but instead he was watching one of the girls braid her sister's hair." Since that Saturday morning in Key Largo, Florida, it has been his passion to make the world beautiful one head at a time. Martino was adopted by a loving family at the age of 6 months. At the earliest age possible, his mother explained to him the few details of his adoption. Martino learned that both of his biological parents were from Cairo, Egypt. In 2006, Martino had a dream that led him to find his birth family and it's Egyptian roots. A-YAD, Martino's middle name meaning celebration. Martino believes that a combination of charity and education makes this all happen. It originally started just trying to help out a family with a terminally ill child looking to raise $5,000. In just one day, they surpassed their goal raising over $20,000 for that family in need. When asked what do you attribute this success to, Martino replied, "When I started out, I decided it was my job to not only make people beautiful above the scalp, but below as well. As I traveled this amazing journey, I started out with only a three-station salon. Dozens of cut-a-thons later, and hundreds of thousands of dollars donated to local families in need, I now have a salon with over 50 stations. It is with confidence we can say that we are the best! God has blessed us and I am thankful!" Cartier founded the charity Wigs and Wishes, granting wishes to those with cancer and life threatening diseases.
