Patrick cameron seminar 2019 at salon international was pure magic

The Patrick Cameron Seminar 2019 at Salon International provided femininity and glamour all the way with a full-house audience learning how to create three new braiding techniques and three classic up-dos. Patrick Cameron presented with joyful panache his House of Luxury philosophy. The maestro of dressed hair delighted his enrapt loyal devotees by demonstrating three fabulous braiding techniques and three gorgeous classic looks. Assisted by his artistic director and right-hand man of 25 years, Marco Erbi, Patrick swiftly demoed his new way of creating a braid without the need to weave. It’s a method which depends upon a measured, repetitive action, where sections are placed ‘over, under and up to the top’ using consistent levels of tension. The technique creates a lovely ‘spine’ of hair, fashioned either close to the hairline or diagonally across the head. And for a little extra luxury, braids were enhanced with a glittering hair decoration chosen from a new range of Patrick Cameron hair accessories. Paying homage to three of his favourite classic dressed looks was next on the agenda. Each relies on the security of a backcombed foundation, hidden by an overlay of lightly backcombed sections; waves and folds of hair placed to perfection to create voluptuous, gorgeous, expensive-looking, ladylike styles. Backbrushing more often than backcombing, hairspray is Patrick’s product of choice as it keeps hair focussed, obscures flyaways and allows for control. Ambidextrous, blessed with outstanding hand-to-eye coordination and a natural flair for style and balance, Patrick handles and controls hair in a sensory way – the same way a couturier would work with a luxurious fabric. He works intuitively, always creating looks of ultimate femininity, class and style. Clearly loving showing and sharing his ideas with a responsive audience, Patrick has for some time been an influencer of many generations of hairdressers all over the world. Long may it continue.
