His Philosophy

"I believe that deep down, we all have a fervent desire and innate ability to do good in the world. Each of us has so much to offer. There's a magic in knowing that our precise interactions and individual gifts could impact the life of one or lives of many. I just want to do my part in leaving a positive, lasting impression on society. Honestly, who doesn't want to change the world for better?" - Michael A. Pringle, II

About

Michael A. Pringle, II is an international hair stylist, hair care specialist, and designer, who from an early age knew the power of beauty and understood the elements to attain it.

The South Carolina native first found his love for hair and beauty during his primary years of school. When asked, what sparked his interest in the beauty industry, Michael explained:

"It was the physical transformation that was created when enhancing the slightest attributes of a person and the shockwave of confidence that came afterwards. It’s an unexplainable feeling, and I am thankful that I am able to take part in such an experience."

Michael’s abilities have allowed him to interact and build great relationships with some of the leading members of the hair and beauty industry. It has also allowed him the opportunity to travel throughout the world to provide beauty enhancement techniques to people of many cultures and backgrounds.

His work has appeared on the cover of South Korea’s top foreigners’ magazine “NEH,” Bronner Brothers International Hair Show platforms, Hair Etc. Hair Convention of South Carolina, Millie Lewis Models and Talent Agency, North Charleston, South Carolina, and countless print and commercial work throughout the USA and Southeast Asia. But it was his humbling experience working with members of his community that grounded him and gave him the diligence needed to take his place in the hair beauty industry.

Education

Educator

Michael A. Pringle, II received his Bachelor of Science in Business Administration at the College of Charleston in Charleston, South Carolina. He simultaneously earned his Associate Degree in Business and Cosmetology at Trident Technical College which is also located in Charleston, South Carolina.

Several years after obtaining his certification from TTC, Michael's time at Trident Technical College has come full circle as he is now one of the school's premiere Certified Cosmetology Instructors. Michael's goal as a cosmetology instructor is to educate his students in a way that will allow them to obtain the hands-on experience and classroom skills that go beyond basic cosmetology practices and knowledge.

In addition to performing standard cosmetology procedures, such as hair styling and manicures, Michael is also proficient in:

Curriculum Development
Teaching Methods
Pedagogical Theory
Student Evaluation

Michael is also a highly sought after Platform Stylist. In the beauty industry, the platform stylist, often called platform artist, is a rockstar among hairdressers. Part educator, communicator, salesperson and entertainer, the platform artist performs on stage mostly at industry trade shows, to promote styling technique, tools, or products.

Outside of the cosmetology realm, Michael is also a Certified English instructor under the International TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) and TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languagues). He has taught English in South Korea for several years as well as continued his work in cosmetology overseas.

Upon returning to the U.S. from South Korea and due to his involvement in international relations, Michael has been named a "Local Coordinator" by the U. S. Department of State "Center for Cultural Interchange" international student exchange program.
