Paul initially discovered CPR while entering The Mane Event in 2023, securing a finalist position for his edgy, high fashion entry. This marked the beginning of a dynamic partnership between Paul and CPR. As part of the entry guidelines for the competition, CPR Colour and product must be used, which Paul says allowed him to experiment with CPR’s range and in doing so, got to see how well it performed. He has confidently chosen to partner with CPR, and the overwhelmingly positive customer feedback has him only excited about the future opportunities to come.
