Originally from France, Paul Desmarre began his career in Le Mans before moving to Paris, where he trained at the highly esteemed Coiffirst Champs-Élysées. There, he mastered the art of Parisian hairstyling and developed refined techniques — including balayage — that quickly attracted attention from leading fashion publications such as Elle, Madame Figaro, Jalouse, Marie Claire, and W.
In 2012, Paul relocated to Los Angeles, where he expanded his career into the fashion and entertainment industries. In 2014, he gained international recognition after cutting Pamela Anderson’s hair into a bold pixie cut. The transformation went viral and became a defining moment in his career, leading to on-set work, editorial productions, and entry into the world of Fashion Week runway.
Between 2014 and 2018, Paul worked as second assistant to Orlando Pita, contributing to major runway shows for houses including Gucci, Burberry, Emilio Pucci, Diane von Furstenberg, Moncler, Oscar de la Renta, and Giambattista Valli. His work during this period extended to Fashion Week, red-carpet appearances, editorial shoots, and exclusive industry events.
Respect and be one with hair is my number one mission.
— Paul Desmarre
