Graham Webb, one of England’s most renown entrepreneurs, has become a household name and a giant in the huge beauty industry.

His book, Out of the Bottle, tells of suffering, purpose, and overcoming daunting obstacles—it tells the story of a young ostracized dropout who builds a multi-million dollar empire.

School was such an ordeal that by age 15 he had dropped out. After sending our 62 job applications for sales positions, he received 62 rejections. The only person willing to give him a chance was a barber in need of an apprentice.

In his early 20’s, Webb opened his first salon. His career was taking off, but his physical condition was deteriorating. Ten years later there was a string of successful salons and, finally, the diagnosis of Spina Bifida. Over the next 20 years, Webb grew his business and found success and acclaim in his industry … he also visited numerous doctors and underwent several operations. In 2002, Webb sold his hair product line—#4 in the US at the time. Today, he still works with Proctor & Gamble as an goodwill ambassador and the figurehead for Graham Webb hair care products.
