Michael O’Rourke’s latest endeavor is The Institute of Courage.
Unlike any other learning facility in today’s industry, The Institute of Courage is designed to give hair artists the courage to grow. Nestled in the woods of Topanga Canyon, in Southern California, O’Rourke refurbished an old Spanish style Potter’s Studio into a state of the art gathering space for hair artists. In addition, the Institute itself is a rare thing of beauty, as O’Rourke spared no expense to ensure that attendees are aware of how truly special they are.
