Paul Mitchell School

I've been here 3 times. First time was great, $12 bucks for lovely layers. Second time, I asked for 3 inches off, she took 6. Third time (I went back because I thought I got a fluke student)was the biggest mess, crappy layers and they take soooooo long. Every single appointment took more than 2 hours. Don't think men are safer either. The people here are inexperienced and there aren't enough teachers around to make sure your hair doesn't end up a mess. I'm never going back again, but I least I didn't pay $50 to have my hair butchered by a "pro".

I was extremely disappointed, disturbed and offended by the color-services of one of the Paul Mitchell hairdresser, named Patrick Gonzalez. He booked me as a hair-color model for his graduation work ( just to become a teacher - he told me so..) on Friday ( 05/09/08) for 9 AM. He assured me that he is about to become instructor, and he is not a student. What a lie! He messed up so badly with my hair, that I couldn't go to work on the same day. I have medium short brown wavy hair and wanted blond highlights. At the end of his work I looked like a big pumpkin with terrible orange patches here and there.. What a shame! This school should not let people like him teach others.. as a matter of fact I strongly believe that hairstyling industry is wrong for him. I am still looking for a professional hairdresser to fix his mistakes.. It came out so badly, that I must wear a hat to hide my hair, not to mention how much he damaged it. I didn't want to be done by a student and I spoke to him on the phone before the appointment to make sure he knows what he is doing and he assured me that he is very knowledgeable. So be careful and don't believe everything the students say to you, because obviously most of them are pretending to be experienced.. It was my very first experience at the Paul Mitchell school, but never will come back. Shame on you!

HAd a hair-cut yesterday, it looks great. I love it. I cant believe that I have not discovered tjis place before now.

If you just want a cheap trim, Paul Mitchell students are a great choice. However, make sure you get Phase 2 students who are on the accelerated track and know what they're doing. Phase 1 is $5 cheaper, but it's the same as asking ur friend to cut your hair in the kitchen.
