In 6th grade, Marcus picked up his first set of clippers. He cut his hair and knew he was on to something. After high school, he enrolled in barber school with the goal of one day owning a barbershop. Upon graduation, Marcus opened Techniques Barbershop & Salon in the south suburbs of Chicago.No one in the Davis family cut hair or owned a business, so Marcus was often met with skepticism. Nevertheless, he was determined to rise above odds and worked hard to do just that. In the early 2000’s Marcus got a big break when the film Barbershop came to Chicago and he was hired as a Set Barber and Barber Consultant. He provided cast haircuts and gave vital insight into how barbers and barbershops operate. His input ensured the films authentically. More projects have since followed including hit shows Empire, The Chi, The Big Leap and more... making Marcus one of the most sought after barbers in the TV/Film industry.When not busy giving fresh cuts and doing hair for A-listers, Marcus enjoys his role as a business owner and influential figure in his local community.
