    This was my hair before my appointment.
    Kiera O.

    The student is not to blame I asked the supervisor for highlights they did not do highlights, they made my hair, darker red/orange. The supervisors are incompetent. Student is not to blame. She did everything she was told to do, her supervisor was out of line and had no ability to do hair. I called Paul Mitchell to ask for products used because I needed to go to a new stylist to fix my hair. They would not give me a list of the products that you used and they never called me back when I asked to speak to the supervisor. If I could give zero stars I would. The goal of this appointment was to add a few highlights, and to even out the lightness around my head. My hair is damaged and the color is COMPLETELY WRONG... I didn't ask for a color I asked for highlights. The teachers and supervisors are to blame. Terrible incompetence on staff behalf. Poor customer service. No accountability. I have been to other Paul Mitchell schools and had good experiences. This school has incompetent teachers and supervisors. I do not recommend trusting them with your hair. You will be disappointed.

    Unfortunately worst experience ever. My hair is dry and broken now and my head hurts from all the chemicals they kept using to fix it. I was really excited to go back to a PM school, so that's why I'm disappointed I have to leave a bad review. They messed up my color and later admitted it was because of lack of time. But they sure charged me for it. It was a balayage, but there was bleeding all over, it was super yellow instead of blond and there were patches that were a completely different color then the rest. It took a total of 11 hours(!!) split over 2 days to do and fix my hair and they charged me extra for fixing their mistakes on top of the $90 I already paid. There's also no communication about prices or procedures. It seems like the teachers don't have the right knowledge and/or don't care a lot, the students just don't care and they let students perform really difficult techniques that they don't even know yet, what resulted in my hair being messed up. The students I had even said they didn't know what they were doing. I got a 'hair cut' aka they cut less then 0.5 inch of my hair and didn't do it per layer or anything. It was done within 3 minutes and they charged me for it. They don't use products after chemically treating your hair to calm your hair and scalp, they style hair without any heat protection and they just don't take care of hair with love. I actually had to ask them to protect my hair from the heat of the tools I get it are students, but I thought Paul Mitchell students would be better then the average student. In the end I paid a lot of money and they didn't even try to make me feel happy. It's a shame, cause my former experience 5 years ago was really good (PM school in PA), but from now on I'd rather spend a little more for a good hair dresser

    Let me start off by saying I am well aware this is a student salon and the services are not done by professionals. I have been here a few times and know a few people who come here and never have had a bad experience. But, I had a less than pleasant experience last week. The student was nice, but definitely did not know what she was doing. I brought in a reference picture like last time hoping she or the teacher knew the proper technique to achieve the look. The teacher seemed impressed by her plan and gave her the go ahead. Red flag number one, she asked a question that should have been asked from the beginning and changed her technique about 5 foils in. Red flag number two, I was angled away from the mirror so I could not see what was going on. If I could, I believe I would have asked her to stop. Red flag number three, (I am no hair expert by any stretch of the imagination) but she said she was only going to blend my top layers. Red flag number four, ONE of the two teachers checked on the student twice and should have been able to see the process was not going well. I am not impressed by the supervision or the fact they are even letting this student perform color processes on actual people's hair. By the time I left, 4 hours and 15 minutes into the service I had large patches in the back of my head, VERY harsh lines by my roots looking like my color had grown out instead of blended into my natural color like I asked and dry brittle ends. The student also attempted to blow dry my hair which she obviously had no idea how to properly do (was aggressively tugging at my hair and it was VERY damp when I left.) I thought about going back and attempting to let them fix it but realized I was not crazy enough to let my hair be damaged even more. I have now spent hundreds of dollars and attempting to fix it and it is still not how I wanted and won't be without one more trip to a salon. PLEASE save yourself the time and little bit of money you spend here and go to a real salon with a professional. Though you may spend more money you will be happier and have the result you actually wanted.

    This is the front.. the part on the right is supposed to be shorter than the left.

    While everyone was nice & the student was awesome, the haircut I received last night was nowhere near what I expected from such a well known school. Two instructors wound up coming over to work on my haircut (which wasn't anything crazy.) I was wondering why it was laying weird & I just realized it's because the angle of my hair is cut so wrong. It's long in the front, then goes up, and then dips down the way it is supposed to be. The way they laid my hair last night when done looked fine, but now I see it is messed up. I guess this is what I get for going to a school, but I have gone to others & have gotten fabulous results & I had much higher expectations for this school. My hair was also cut about 2" shorter than I wanted - somehow to this instructor 3" = 5". Very disappointed with them & I will not be going back.

    Unfortunately my younger sister and I experienced racism at this salons so I wouldn't recommend…read morethis salon to other black women. I made an appointment for my younger sister in advance for her to have her hair dyed and straightened for homecoming. When we arrived we had to wait an unusually long time. Finally a woman came out and spoke to us. I believe she was a manager or a teacher. I told her what we wanted to get done that day and she was rude during the entire conversation. She touched my sister's hair as if she was disgusted and told us, " we don't do this kind of hair." It was very humiliating and clearly racially charged since my sister and I are black and have 3b/3c. We then had to scramble to find a new salon to accommodate us so she could get to homecoming on time. Also a few years prior I came to this salon to have my hair done so I don't know why they changed their policy suddenly and couldn't do my sister's hair.

    Don't recommend for services or for future students…read more I attended the school a few years ago and from the very first day of class realized I made a mistake. My instructor was immature, unprofessional and a bully. Her behavior made the students comfortable enough to bully others in the classroom (me) and nothing was done about it. I was talked about, called names & yelled at by another student & my pregnant redhead instructor. It got so bad I went to the office to discuss what was going on and basically blamed because my personality wasn't "bubbly" and my instructor said I was being standoffish. The school is not good for POC and you're not going to feel confident when you graduate. I could have watched YouTube tutorials at home instead of wasting my money. If you decide to get services done just keep in mind most of the students are nervous and not really being trained in the best way. I was self taught before going to this school all they did was give me my hours & a piece of paper.

I spoke to a gentleman who said that I could get it done with an instructor at that time. I was able to get out of work early, so I called and spoke with a woman. I asked her if I could come in earlier and if they were able to do highlights; I said if they couldn't that would be fine either way. She told me that they could do it, and to come in, the earlier the better. I get there at 2:25pm. The instructor was teaching a class, so they were going to have a student do my haircut. The student seemed unsure of what to do, ripped some hair out yanking my hair tie out, and was pulling at my hair with a tiny comb. A girl sweeping asked me 'are you scared?' so then now yeah, I am scared, plus the student was asking another hair dresser how to even cut my hair. She asked me if I wanted to wait for the instructor to cut it, and I said yes. I go to the waiting room, and this 'instructor' comes charging full speed at me, aggressive and confrontational, yelling at me that I was early. i told her I called and spoke to 2 people about what I wanted to get done and the time. I can't believe an instructor would behave like that to someone coming in for a service, and that is the behavior she is teaching her students. I can only imagine how she instructs the students as well.

    Got my hair did this morning. Nothing beats a $6 haircut. So this is my second experience with a…read morebeauty school and I was equally happy with the results with the hair. Just like the last cosmetology school I went to, make sure you have at least an hour to get a hair cut and dry- there will be NO rushing here since all major cuts and decisions need to be cleared with the trainers. This place is a little rough around the edges (cheap decor, a little gossipy...) but the cut and assistance of the master stylist was good. And again, $6 haircut and blow dry? Can't beat it with a stick. My hairdresser student Vanessa took her time, talked to me about what I was trying to do in the future with my hair and was chatty- but not overly so. The only thing that's a little bizarre to watch is that the students not working on human clients are busy completing scenarios on their dummy heads at their stations. Imagine a room full of 15 hair stylists all working on mannequin heads...and you're the only human. Kinda strange. But- it's a beauty school, that's what they're supposed to be doing- hair! Most important thing to know about the place- they ONLY take cash. After labor and deliver (I'm 37 weeks pregger with #Dos) perhaps I'll go back for another cut and color.
