Paul Mitchell The School

If your planning to go here for school don’t it is a joke you pay for a name and a sh!!! y education. I went here for 4 months and left went to Marinello did the full time night program and loved every minute of it!!! Paul Mitchell doesn’t even have a waxing/​facial room and they apparently teach it to you they don’t teach you how to do a sculptured nails and you HAVE TO buy all of your own nail products. The owner is completely rude and money hungry the teacher Angela will say on do a hair cut on your doll head an go gossip with other teachers during your class time but if you need to talk to another staff member you have to do it on your lunch time. This education is worthless they teach you nothing. The staff picks and chooses favorites they have a separate area for the phase two which means they are better than other students and you can pay more for them there entire environment is based in be nice or else and you have to read there be nice or else book Marinello’s curriculum is based on passing is our purpose. They pay for your state board kid and state board fees. And they will pay it up to three retakes. They pre apply you at 1200 hours and have part time and full time during the day and night. This school with ruin you do not come here. And if you get a service done the students talk about you poorly and not even do a good job if they don’t think your going to tip them…

I am a graduate from this school. My overall experience with the school was not that impressive. There was some policy’s regarding the student body that did not seem right but for the most part got a good education. I have to say that I have now been graduated for 7 months and they have still not given a proper graduation ceremony or presented me with a diploma which is promised to you from the beginning because they have been busy organizing things after going corporate. I feel deprived and upset with this after all I gave all my heart and dedication for the year I was in their program not to mention my time and lots of money (over $ 18,000). Personally i feel the least they could do is to take a moment to congratulate and thank us! We are after all the ones that keep their doors open. And I want to mention I post this review after much conversation with many fellow graduates that share this opinion and experience. So heads us if your looking for a mediocre cosmetology school experience and to be thrown out after completing the program with out a thank you then this is the place for you. Otherwise think twice before you sign us for this school.

I am a current student here. I am all most done about a week and a half to go. This school is amazing. The staff truly cares about the students. Not only do they teach you state board and technical skills they teach you a new positive life style. This school can be life changing if you want it to be. If you are looking to go here i strongly recommend it. In the past year they have became a corporate school. The school has changed so much but for the good.

Im actually a graduate from this school and my experience as a student there was horrible. The night students pay the same exact amount of tuition as the day students but dont get even half of the same opportunities, the night class was pretty much started to only be a maid service. The owners were beyond unprofessional, rude, and played favorites with their students. Trust me if you didnt fit a certain stereotype you were singled out and targeted not only by the owners but the teaching staff as well. One of the rules was that teachers were not allowed to associate with the students outside of school but they did… and still do… in fact one of the teachers i had did this and played favorites with the student she hung out with and also got drunk with on the weekends. I would say thats a little unprofessional. Not only that but my hours got all messed up and i was denied being able to preapply for my state board date due to the fact that i magically racked up 500 hours in less than a week. Hmmm. We were told that once a week someone would be in the office at nights for us to meet with but the person who was supposed to be staying would actually leave earlier and avoid us… so the day students had access to office personal all day everyday and night class had noone. They took several peoples financial aid and then kicked them out for no reason at all. I had an issue with one student where bodily harm was threatened and instead of the owner taking it serious i was actually locked in the office alone with the same student who threatened me and told that we wouldnt be let out until it was solved. Im glad me and this student finally came to terms are friendly once again but that was not the proper way for an owner to respond to the situation. From day one students are told that graduating from paul mitchell means you can get a job anywhere… brainwashing much? They would slander the other local schools who actually have a much higher state board passing rate. Newsflash just because you attend paul mitchell does not mean you are entitled to shit nor does it mean you are better than anyone else. Once i did get mystate board date and called to schedule my final mock board i was given the runaround by the owner… who couldnt even speak proper english, and quickly denied my last class… which i had paid for. Well i still passed my stateboard much to the owners dismay. Please do your research before signing to go to this school. They will tell you everything is included for the kit you pay thousands for and that simply is not the case. They hire «teachers» who are recent graduates from the school themselves and have little to no salon experience what so ever. The teaching staff is consistently changing seeing as they cannot keep employees to save their lives. I had one teacher who didnt even know how to use the color line and argued with me in front of the client when i told her she was wrong. Thank god i did the color formula i had decided on because if i would have done hers my clients hair would have come out orange instead of the chocolate brown she wanted to achieve.
