The world’s leading long hair expert
Patrick Cameron has heaped praise on Doncaster College’s newly
refurbished salon.
The salon, renamed Inspire after the £30,000
refit, was officially opened by New Zealander Patrick on Monday,
October 12 – and even showed off his styling skills to watching
students and invited guests.
The open-to-the-public salon refurbishment has
been funded by Success Doncaster and hair giant Wella – and the
College will become a Wella Professionals Centre of Excellence.
The College’s 200 hairdressing students
started to use the new facilities from September.
Patrick travels the world as a global
ambassador for hairdressing, giving ‘electric’ presentations
showcasing his and his team’s talents.
Having just returned from presentations in
Venezuela, Switzerland and Romania, Patrick wowed the crowd at The
Hub showing off his skills on two models.
He said: “This is the first time I have been
to the College and I have been very impressed. With the entrance to
the salon connected to the outside and near a car park, it’s in the
perfect location for the town.

“It’s a fantastic salon and it looks
brilliantly with all the students dressed in red and black just
like the salon. Doncaster College has upped the ante with this
salon – this is what other colleges are striving for.”
Kelly English, Assistant Director of the
Academy of Commercial Enterprise at Doncaster College, said: “Not
only will the new salon enable our hairdressing students to learn
in some of the best training salons around but it also provides the
Doncaster public with a new and exciting place to get their hair
done – and at very competitive prices.
“The salon, under supervision, will be run by
the College’s most experienced students, offering customers all the
latest styles and services.”
Councillor Jonathan Wood, Cabinet Member for
Business and New Enterprise, said: “The new facilities will help
give Doncaster students the best chance of achieving in their
course and go on to become a success of the future.”
Doncaster College runs a host of hair and
beauty courses from its Hub campus. Further details can be obtained
