Academy Photoshoot | Paul

Atelier Emmanuel runs an Academy for our apprentices, a sort of post-graduate training in the Old World style. Before we took a Summer break, we decided it would be fun to organize a photoshoot for them. The apprentices were given little guidance, other than that the shoot would be indoors with a basic backdrop. We supplied the photographer. They came up with the concept, model, wardrobe, makeup and, most importantly, the hairstyle.

Paul: I got this concept from an image I saw for a hairstyling how-to called the "twisted sister." In it I noticed that each section of hair fed into another to become a solid form. Taking that idea, I made a bun as my foundation and slowly began twisting large pieces of hair and incorporating it into my base. The result was amazing and I was really impressed with myself. The finished form was intricate in detail and maintained a messy but still eloquent look.

Native of Hawai'i, Paul has been bringing his positive energy and happy mood to our salon for over 4 years. Paul received his education from The San Francisco Institute of Esthetics and Cosmetology. Then, after over 80 individual training sessions with Emmanuel, nearly 3,000 hours of observation, assistance and apprenticeship with senior stylists, Paul finally qualified to become a Junior Stylist with Atelier Emmanuel in May of 2011.
