1. What is there to say about Ricardo (Rykk) Martinez, that hasn’t already been said about Bangkok; it’s wild, weird,
loud, idiosyncratic, and, at all times, possibly questionable without regard. Still, one thing is assured,that when
you’re done, your time will always be Memorable. Because Rykk is more than a salesman, stylist or front runner to
the Best in Hair, but an experience that will have you tickled with laughter. Then again, let’s face it, for anyone who
knows Rykk well enough can say being acquainted with him can be in itself an experience.
When it comes to appearance and the unique style he owns up to is an experience all its own. Whether you have
been captivated by the way he enters a room, or struck by the million dollar smile, full, black hair; or maybe it’s the
very Geeky 8 bit frames with no lenses that he wears everywhere and every day, you just can’t nail his pizazz. It
could be the immaculately, well-groomed Beard. His apparel is influenced by the ages of prohibition, to rockabilly,
du-op greasers, and classic punk, a flair for downtown, with a touch of Wall St., which gives his Reputation a
branding label that can give friends, co-workers and strangers the impression of a living cartoon character.
Now, looks can sometimes be deceiving, however in Rykk’s case, his looks are matched if not,out done by his
bizarre and unconventionalpersonality. It is just as flamboyant, loud, colorful, outlandish, and without a doubt, very
superlative nature. Rykk is an “in your face” and driven individual that brings many ideas to attention. His actions
mean well but cannot always be well meant; he can be honest to a fault but carries a devotion and loyaly to those he
keeps close, which can only be described as legitimate and authentic. After all, we are only human.
After some extensive time, Rykk has finally acquired his License in Cosmetology and is prepared to take it to the
next level. As an already highly skilled stylist and knowledgably of the Hair and Makeup industry, Rykk has worked
with celebrities and reality starts who originated here in the Bay Area. Rykk has also assembled teams of artists to
create the magic of a Fashion Runway events,photo shoots,and mixers.
While still in cosmetology school as a student,Rykk organized field trips to Industry Expos, backstage work
assisting in exchange for hours,and lessons and Tutorials from Industry Guest Speakers. Rykk was able to do this
because of his well earned reputation in the industry of almost 10 years. Working for companies such as MAC,
Lacncome, Sephora, Makeup Forever, and the Body Shop he gained much education,skill and knowledge while still
conquering the industry with his free lance work for fashion events and commercial gigs.
When it comes to originality, Rykk is completely bona fide. His ideas are immaculate and extreme. His belief in the
growth of his career and company are genuine. It can only be compared to his passionate affliction with the world
of Fashion, Entertainment and Cosmetics. Peculiar enough,Rykk came from a background in Fashion and
Entertainment Arts which became the leverage for his charismatic nature and thunderous yet humble
magnetism. Getting to work with so many of the Bay Area’s leading powerhouses has earned Rykk an unparalleled,
rare and respectable reputation.
All of these characteristics and skills are what make Rykk Martinez a wonderful candidate to be a platform artist and
educatorfor your company. Product testing is something that is right up Rykk’s alley. Always attending
professional hair and cosmetic shows and workshops, Rykk loves testing and trying new products. With a
fascination in product testing,this job would give me the freedom to express more of myself and allow the
independence to grow solo with the support of a team, while still delivering the company message and making sales.
As a Veteran of the US NAVY during war time, Rykk encompasses the morals of Honor, Courage and Commitment
in both the office and personal life. He understands that,even off the clock, he is a representative of those he works
with and for and inappropriate actions reflect on those he surrounds himself with personally and professionally. He
is now an intermediary for both enterprises of style and sale. This helps to parcel a network and increase efforts in
promoting the capitol gain and reputation of an Awesome Company. He is Passionate about the industry and
becoming the best stylist the bay area has. His desire to be on top of his field is what keeps him driven to never give
up.
