The Patrick Melville Salon and Spa had the exciting pleasure of hosting a 3 day health and beauty suite at the Peninsula Hotel in Beverly Hills to prepare celebs for the Oscar red carpet.

My assistant DanieI and I recreated the gorgeous and natural copper red for the teenage Cate Blanchett in the Oscar-nominated Benjamin Button movie played by up-and-coming young Hollywood actress, Madison Beaty. I also gave Maria Menounos, the beautiful Pantene girl and red carpet host, shimmery swirls of cinnamon browns as Patrick cut and styled her to perfection. Maria is not only beautiful, but a sweetheart! We also had Lindsay Lohan pay us a visit when she experienced the healing hands of Juhi Singh, our amazing acupuncturist. Debra Messing even stopped by for some Oscar prepping!

hanks also to the talented Adam Markarian, from the Sebastian Artistic Team and our salon in New York, as well as Jon Patrick, our West Coast presence. It was fun…but we are all glad to back in N.Y.C.! —Rick
