Celebrity Hair Stylist Marcus Francis: a tFS Interview

I asked this rising star my 3 favorite beauty-related questions:

INDUSTRY BREAK: After working in the salon for 6 years, I wanted to be more a part of the fashion and celebrity world where creating a variety of looks would be a project shown in magazine and film. Fortunately, my cousin got a job at an LA hair/makeup agency as a booker and filtered me to the top of the assistant roster. From there, I worked extremely hard to quickly surpass the assistant stage and learn my own skills, and acquire a strong confidence to handle photo shoots with new clients on my own. I built relationships with up-and-coming makeup artists, stylists, photographers, as well as publicist assistants, that helped connect me to jobs that wouldn’t normally have given a newcomer like me a chance. I was very lucky to also have people recognize my hard work and give me the opportunity to build a portfolio and/or client list.



5 MOST COVETED PRODUCTS:

  1. Phyto Volume Acitf — It somehow plumps everyone’s hair giving it “easy to achieve” volume and desirable texture for lasting power.
  2. L’oreal Elnet — This is a classic for many reasons. It doesn’t have a crusty finish, allows you to brush through the hair and still gives the shape some hold.
  3. Klorane Dry Shampoo — THE best for oily scalp when you still have the texture of “dirty” hair. It also gives styled hair the perfect undone look.
  4. Jonathan Dirt/Silky Dirt — When your hair is clean, it bumps it to that one/two day dirty stage, with a perfect matte finish.
  5. Pantene “Beautiful Lengths” Frizz control — A weightless cream to smooth out frizzy ends or fly-aways; gives a subtle, non greasy shine.
