About

Interestingly enough, Paul's career as a hairdresser and salon owner in Colorado Springs began accidentally. His initial plan to become a commercial artist was suddenly redirected by the man who gave him his first great haircut. In that one interaction, Paul recognized that hair styling was an art form with the power to have a profound impact on people. From that day on, Paul honed his craft through a system of apprenticeship & advanced course work at Vidal Sassoon and Toni & Guy. Inspired by the vision of David Raccuglia and Art + Science salon’s launching of American crew, Paul relocated to Chicago in 1997 to become a part of the creative movement in men’s grooming. He joined the Art + Science team and many amazing things grew from that choice. From partnership to ownership, Paul has stewarded the expansion of the salon into multiple locations. Additionally, Paul went from an American Crew All-star to the Global artistic director for American Crew and became a leader in men’s grooming worldwide. Paul travels around the globe developing and presenting new collections of haircuts and styles, both on stage and at photo shoots. His vision and work has been featured throughout Europe, Australia as well the North and South Americas. He has been highlighted in multiple publications to include making ‘The List’ in Michigan Ave Magazine for his philanthropic contributions. Paul’s natural energy and passion for the hair industry engages audiences, whether in an intimate classroom, with an international audience or working behind the chair with one of his clients. He has an enlightened sense of art and design, allowing him to eloquently inspire through each and every haircut he executes.
