Paul Mitchell the School’s Hair Salon is a perfect option for students looking to cut their hair without cutting into their wallets. Their hours vary during the week because of classes, but to make any appointment at Paul Mitchell, one can call (803)-772-2232.

Located at 700 Gervais St., Paul Mitchell is a to two-year beauty school for students training to work in cosmetology. That means that the person cutting your hair, painting your nails, or waxing your eyebrows is essentially a student. Don’t let that scare you from taking advantage of, for example, their $6 haircuts on Wednesdays or $8 manicures. Anyone giving haircuts has been through intensive weeks of in class training on top of extensive hands on practice so there is a guarantee that the person giving you your cut, style, or color knows what they’re doing. In addition to haircuts, Paul Mitchell offers skin, waxing and nail services.

What makes it so ideal for students is that they do all of their services at affordable prices. Their haircuts average $6-15 dollars, and their color appointments start at $35. All of their waxing services and makeup appointments range between $5-10 and their manicures and pedicures are $8-18. The atmosphere in the salon is clean and professional and the services follow that same standard.

No matter what students are going to Paul Mitchell the School for, hair, nails, or waxing, they can rest assured that they’ll have a pleasant experience for an affordable price.
