Hugh Campbell among Limerick’s
sexiest men!
After over three decades of
making women look and feel beautiful this week
the tables turned on Hugh Campbell when the
Limerick Chronicle named him one of the 50
sexiest men in Limerick.
In order to compile this list
the judging panel, led by fashion guru Celia
Holman Lee, spent hours researching the county's
hottest men. They considered men from all age
group and walks of life placing Hugh at number
22.
Both Hugh and his staff were
highly amused by the announcement. When ask
about his place Hugh said ‘I can’t deny that I’m
more then a bit surprised to find myself on the
list.

But Hugh’s clients are not so
surprised. “I think he should be number 1,
he’s a very charming man. A real gentlemen”, says
Mary who has been a Hugh client for the last 20
years “I was happy to see
him on the paper, he looks great and I can tell you
he’s even better when you see him in the salon”,
declares Bridget.
Recently Hugh became a member of
the Hairdressing Hall of Leaders when he was named
an ICON of Irish Hairdressing. Hugh was selected
because he has made a valuable contribution to
shaping the industry. During the last 30 years his
visionary concept of hairdressing guided the course
of Irish hairdressing history.

Hugh Campbell collection
Autumn-Winter 2009/2010
A Shiny Feminine Chic look produced by a practical
low-maintenance cut, this is the vision expressed in
the Hugh Campbell Hair Group’s autumn/winter 2009/10
collection. Because we at the Hugh Campbell Hair
Group believe hair is intrinsically linked to
fashion our artistic team takes inspiration from the
catwalks of London, New York, Milan and Paris. We
work six months ahead to ensure that when these
designs hit the high street we have already
developed hairstyles that will complement and
enhance these looks.
Autumn/Winter 2009/10 will see hair styles which
reflect a woman who is innovative and futuristic,
who celebrates easy-to-wear styles but never
renounces her sense of fun. |

Collection
To capture this we have developed a range of cuts
that express an urban realism while rejecting the
cold androgynous looks of recent year, our lines
follow the feature of the face and not the contrary.
We have focused primarily on shorter looks this
season ranging from classic Hollywood finger waves
to the reinvention of the classic bob, but the most
popular is the ready-to-wear rough, tumble and
effortless look, inspired by the naturally wavy feel
of hair that has been dried in the sun.
As always colour plays a central role in creating
out latest styles. We have always used colour to
transform our cuts in to the ultimate in
head-turning style and this season is no exception.
We have used all over colours which leave hair
looking healthy, shiny and full of vitality. Working
with a pallet of soft browns, mahogany, chestnut and
copper we have skilfully blended to produce the rich
warm tones which define our Autumn/Winter 2009/10
looks. |
