Pompadours
Paul Wilson, who in addition to his prestigious American Crew position manages Art + Science salon in Chicago, has a penchant for creating artistic renditions of classic styles. Case in point: the pompadour made famous by Elvis Presley and worn by millions of male hipsters over the past 50 years. "The collection is really a fusion of classic and experimental rumors that appeal to younger men who tend to be more adventurous with their hairstyles," smiles Wilson.

"For the Pompadours collection, I used American Crew SUPERGLUE as a base, sculpted and dried the hair in various shapes and then finished each style by applying styling cream to the outside layers of the hair," Wilson continues. "This added softer, more realistic texture and noticeable shine to the final designs."
