At the young age of 14, Mark Bustos discovered the power of human interaction through his passion for cutting hair. That's why he has dedicated the last 21 years, not only developing and honing his craft, but sharing his talents all over the globe with clients such as his own childhood friends in Nutley, NJ to fashion designer, Phillip Lim, NASCAR Driver, Jeff Gordon and even 8-year old Isabella living on the streets in the slums of the Philippines.
As Mark travels to different cities to give back, Mark has also earned himself a styling chair in some of the most prestigious hair salons in America, between Miami, Los Angeles and New York City. Aside from his professional License in Cosmetology, he also obtained a Bachelor of Science in Business Management from Kean University.
As the founder of the #BeAwesomeToSomebody Charity, Mark has humbly given a new meaning to being compassionate by giving free haircuts to the homeless every Sunday- all around the world. Not only has this inspired family, friends, hairstylists and strangers all over the world to help those in need, Mark is able to meet new people and be moved by their stories simply by doing what he loves.
Mark has been featured in The New York Times, CNN, ABC World News, Forbes, Huffington Post, GQ, Details Magazine, Vanity Fair, People Magazine, and many more. The #BeAwesomeToSomebody Movement has also received international acclaim in several publications across Europe and Asia, notably the Philippines, which is both where his family is from and where the #BeAwesomeToSomebody Movement was born.
