David has developed a portfolio of experience and expertise that compliments his approachable attitude.
Born in Melbourne Australia, he has worked internationally and styled a list of celebrities that includes Katherine McPhee, Linda Evangelista, Elle MacPherson, Heidi Klum, Karen Elson, Helena Christensen, Trudie Styler and Ricky Martin. His work has featured in many top fashion magazine titles (Vogue, Harpers Bazaar and Marie Claire) and featured on the catwalks of London, Paris and Milan. Having assisted some of the top fashion hairstylists in the world (Guido Palau, Orlando Pita, Sam McKnight, Kevin Murphy) he has built a reputation that is solid and respected.
Working for many years on developing techniques, his influences stem from a passion for modern urban lifestyle, crossed with retro-chic and bygone glamour. His attitude to style is a mixture of relaxed Australian ease and European sophistication, while always keeping it effortless and uncomplicated.
David’s work as an educator and motivator is a natural addition to his session styling talent. Anyone who attends one of his training events will be charmed by his ability to communicate and connect with his audience, while delivering the message in a format that is both informative and entertaining.
The launch of the Martinsson King haircare system is his biggest project to date. In collaboration with his business partner, as Creative Director he has developed a haircare line that embodies the essence of all his years of experience.
David's dedication to the industry started at an early age, with an ambitious desire to challenge and improve himself.
