I purchased a Groupon for "The Works" facial, and it was my first time here. I set my expectations…read morerelatively low, knowing it's a school and these are students training for their professional careers. I ended up REALLY impressed. The service provided by the estheticians was phenomenal; Mariah who actually performed my facial and one of her fellow students helped me upgrade to treat my acne (only $5!), and it was honestly one of the best facials I've ever had (surpassed my last-best facial experience at Mario Tricoci in Oak Brook). I was super relaxed, loved my skin after I left my appointment, and it was a peaceful setting. I was also impressed with how many services they offer. I ended up getting a consultation on extension installation and extension coloring, and set up an appointment for that as well. My only complaint is that the front desk service was not friendly - one middle-aged woman either had RBF (resting b*tch face) or was just not a very kind person, and seemed annoyed both times I asked a question. But I won't let that deter me from the great students and services here! Highly recommend.

5 stars for Alai (student), 1 star for Paul Mitchell Tinley Park (PMTP)…read more Paul Mitchell Tinley Park responded to my review on a different site with an AI-generated reply. Hopefully, a human will actually read this review and look into making adjustments accordingly. PMTP is setting its Future Professionals up for failure, not success. I was introduced to the Clean Beauty Hydrate line and Neuro Prime at a different Paul Mitchell location. It has worked so well on my hair that I've purchased bottles to use at home when I can't make it to The School. Now that my local Paul Mitchell The School has closed, I had hoped PMTP would be my go-to location. Although the product is on the sales shelves, PMTP does not permit ANY students to use Clean Beauty shampoo and conditioner. An upcharge for the preferred products is not an option either, I asked. How would clients know to purchase Clean Beauty products if students can't use it on guests' hair? Neuro Prime, another product that works wonders on my hair is only available to a select group of Future Professionals. So, Alai, as patient as she was, had an unnecessary battle with my hair because she was forbidden from using beneficial products that are sitting visible on a shelf. Other students at Paul Mitchell Tinley Park can use Neuro Prime, but not the learning phase that she is in. Unless that policy changes, this visit will be considered a one and done. PMTP should be ashamed of those business practices.

You don't want to believe me. It's located in NWI, for god's sake! And we all know ::insert heavy sarcasm here:: that NWI is the antithesis of cool. Not so, my li'l yelpies. Ben Mollin, and his salon, is straight-up rock. Rock star, that is. Tattoos and piercings abound. The radio is much more likely to be kicking out The Pixies or Hendrix than anything close to pop music. And the staff? So cool I almost want to schedule appointments with them just for the sake of hanging out. The first time I wandered into BMHE, I was feeling a bit lost. I was in a hair rut. I had taken my blonde hair to black, then purple, then some silver, back to blonde, maybe a little more black, and howzabout a little magenta. And then, like any girl in a major hair rut, I started hacking it off. And that, my dear friends, is when Ange and Ben came into the picture. Ange looked at my hair (black, pink, blonde, and silver at the time) and went about reining in my hair from excessive to what she termed "pretty punk." Ange babied my delicate tresses (all that bleaching and recoloring takes a toll, yo) and brought me to a place of soft, healthy(er) hair while still maintaining the overall look I was going for. Seriously? The girl's got some major skills. And she might be one of the sweetest people on the face of the planet. By the time I hit Ben's chair, I knew that I was going to give him carte blanche. And I did. In return, he gave me the sickest haircut I have ever received. So amazing, in fact, that people continue to stop me and ask where they can get the hook up. And to answer your question--or allay your google fears--yes. Yes, this is the same Ben Mollin who appeared on the first season of Shear Genius. Yes, he is as down-to-earth and awesome as he appeared on the show. Yes, he is immensely talented. And yes, you should stop reading this and book your appointment now. Yes, now! And don't give me that nonsense that you don't have rock star hair. I call shenanigans. Ben and his amazing staff rock out everything from the most pristine bobs to the occasional kid's haircut. No attitude. No fuss. No problems. So get thee to Ben Mollin Hair Education. Your hairs (and you) deserve it.

My daughter had beautiful long hair which took her years of growing it out, all I wanted was to trim the ends a little 1-2 inches is what I stated.The teacher on that day assigned one of her students to cut her ends, this idiot student(picture of her provided) cut almost 9-10 inches of my daughters hair! How stupid and incompetent do you have to be to not know the difference between 1-2 inches from 9-10 inches! All this girl said to me was "oh! sorry!" Yeah sorry my ass, that's not going to bring back my daughters hair that took years to grow out, she didn't give a hell how much that hurt me and my daughter! This was a big F.U to my face! looks like this teacher hasn't taught her students well enough especially this one who screwed my daughters hair! Screw you guys! My daughter loved her hair now she's sobbing over how stupidly cut it is! Don't go to events if you can't properly do the assignment! I'm going to warn the director to not have your academy back at Erie for this screw up!
