Creative – “Expand your learning” by combining new cuts, colors, textures, and styles to create excellent service.
The Skin Academy offers training in international skin treatments, speed waxing, customized treatment protocols, skin analysis, ingredient technology, makeup techniques, and prescriptive retailing. The Nail Academy guides you in mastering the skills, science, and creativity required by the nail enhancement industry, as well as introduces you to ongoing discoveries in the science of hand and foot beauty. The Barbering Program features hair cutting, chemical work (including coloring and perms), men’s shaving and grooming, and basic skin care, along with hairpiece design, fitting, and maintenance in a three-phase program.

WE GIVE BACK Our “FUNraising” campaigns have raised over $6 million for charities in the last eight years. Through our annual three-month “FUNraising” campaign, we’ve donated our time and over $6 million to charitable organizations including Leeza Gibbons Memory Foundation, Andrew Gomez Dream Foundation, Food 4 Africa, Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, Morris Animal Foundation, Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, City of Hope, CUT IT OUT, NCA Disaster Relief Fund, Komen for the Cure, Larry King Cardiac Foundation, Cancer Schmancer, and Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Network. Through grassroots, dollar-by-dollar events like cut-a-thons, fashion shows, bake sales, and “Casual for a Cause” days, we’ve built homes for needy families, fed hungry kids, and supported the victims of AIDS, cancer, homelessness, hurricanes, abuse, and more. In addition, a portion of the cost of every student technical kit is donated to the American Forest Global ReLeaf Program to help replace America’s trees. “People often wonder why we’re involved in FUNraising,” Winn Claybaugh says. “Yes, we teach the skills needed for a successful career, but we also teach the skills needed for a successful life. Giving back is a cornerstone of our philosophy.” We Are Here to Make a Difference!
ONE SIZE FITS ALL We welcome anyone who is willing to embrace our culture and professional standards. In an industry based on beauty, we know that nothing is more attractive than those who stand strong in their convictions while accepting and embracing others for who they are and what they believe. Our Paul Mitchell Future Professionals represent every size, age, color, lifestyle, belief, and nonbelief, and we think that’s incredible! How boring would it be if everyone looked, acted, and thought the same way? We don’t care about your age, background, or history; we care about you. We want you to be yourself while celebrating the fact that other people are different from you. Whether you’ve been broken, abused, held back, flunked out, or graduated at the top of your class, everyone who agrees to embrace our culture is welcome at our Paul Mitchell Schools, where … one size fits all!
