TERRIBLE TERRIBLE TERRIBLE TERRIBLE I HATE THE WHOLE PAUL MITCHELL COMPANY BECAUSE OF THIS SCHOOL. I ATTENDED THIS SCHOOL BACK IN 2012 UNTIL SPRING 2013 THE DEAN JENNY WAS BARELY SEEN AND HAD HER OWN MOOD SWINGS OF WHEN SHE WANTED TO INTERACT WITH STUDENTS OR NOT. THE ADMISSIONS JUST WANTED NUMBERS, THE FAT LADY IN FRONT DESK WAS MEAN TO EVERRRRRYYYONE HER NAME WAS JESSICA. THE "COUNSELOR" CYNDEE NEVER HAD TIME TO SPEAK TO ANYONES CONCERNS. WHEN SOMEONE STOLE MY PHONE FROM THE BREAKROOM SHE DIDNT EVEN WANT TO HELP SHE SAID IN HER NASAL VOICE "THATS WHY YOU LEAVE IT IN THE LOCKER" BUT YET I WAS TOLD BY HER IN CORE THAT THE BREAK ROOM WAS THE ONLY PLACE WE CAN HAVE OUR PHONES BUT ONE GETS STOLEN IN THERE AND THE COULDNT REPLAY THE CAMERA FROM THE LAST 5 MINUTES.....BUT MRS. JENNY HAD A FLAT SCREEN PLASMA IN FRONT OF HER DESK WITH THE SURVEILLANCE PLAYING.WHEN I WANTED TO SET UP MY APPOINTMENT WITH CYNDEE SHE QUESTIONED ME IF I WAS SURE I HAD COMPLETED EVERYTHING IN ORDER TO SET UP AN APPOINTMENT IN A RUDE ATTITUDE, SHE NEVER QUESTIONED ANYBODY BEFORE.... AND YES I EXCEED AND FINISHED BEFORE ANYONE IN MY CORE... NO SERVICES, 100% ON EVERY THEORY TEST, 1300 HOURS COMPLETED AND NO MONEY OWED BECAUSE I SHOWED UP EVERY SINGLE DAMN DAY....BUT I STILL WAS TREATED LIKE I WAS STUPID AND COULDNT FINISH BUT MAYBE THAT WAS THE RACISM I HEARD ABOUT WHEN I STARTED. ALSO FINANCIAL AID WAS A JOKE THEY LOST MORE THAN TWO OF MY FRIENDS PAPERWORK TO THE STATE!!! WHO THE HELL DOES THAT!!! I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN WHEN SHE OFFERED US TO CHANGE OURS HOURS FROM 1300(which is over state limit) to 1200( the legal amount of hours of completion) SHE FORGOT TO CHANGE THE REQUEST FOR MY FRIEND WHO TOOK THE OFFER AND WAS STUCK ANOTHER 100 HOURS AND PUSHED BACK HER PLANS OF LEAVING THE STATE. ASHLEY COOKSON IS VERY FORGETFUL. IM NOT AS UPSET FOR NOT TAKING THE 1200 HOURS ANYMORE BECAUSE REGARDLESS SHE WOULD HAVE FORGOT ANYWAYS SO I WAS STUCK AN EXTRA 100 HOURS OF TORTURE IN THE END. NOT ONLY THAT BUT THE ROOF LEAKS EVERYWHERE THE PLACE WAS FALLING DOWN INTO PIECES BUT YET THEY CHARGED EVERY PENNY FOR TUITION, PRODUCTS, AND SERVICES. I HAD TO PAY FOR EVERY ONCE OF PRODUCT OR MANNEQUIN HEADS AFTER PAYING $14,500 TUITION. I SPENT OVER $15,000 ON MY EDUCATION AND I FEEL AS IF I NEVER LEARNED ANYTHING. THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO SUCCEEDED IN THIS SCHOOL WERE THE ONES ABLE TO BUY THEIR WAY AROUND. FOR INSTANCE, CAPER, WHICH DAYTON CLEARLY SPECIFIED THAT PARENTS COULDNT BUY PRODUCTS FOR THE CONTEST AND ONE WEEK LATER SOME GIRLS DADDY BOUGHT ALL THE BAGS.....AND LEE APPROVED IT. GUEST ARTIST ON TUESDAYS WAS ALWAYS JOKE, ESPECIALLY THE REPEATED SONNY DEE WHICH RUMORS WENT AROUND SAYING HE DATED STUDENTS. IM NOT SURPRISED...HE KEPT FLIRTING WITH MY FRIEND AT THE HALLOWEEN HAIR SHOW...WHILE HE WAS INTOXICATED. AND TO TOP IT OFF THE PAUL MITCHELL PRODUCTS ARE 100% TERRIBLE. YOU WOULD THINK ALL THAT MONEY THEY WOULD HIRE BETTER CHEMIST TO CREATE UP TO DATE PRODUCTS INSTEAD OF THE OLD 1980 FORMULAS. FOR THE TEACHERS WHO ACTUALLY CARED... CARRIE, DREA, STEPHANIE, RALPH,CLIFF, KOREN AND JULIE ARE THE ONLY ONES WHO CARED FOR THE STUDENTS. MOST I HEARD WERE LUCKY ENOUGH TO QUIT. I WISH THAT I SHOULD HAVE DROVE AN HOUR TO GO TO AVEDA. THIS IS JUST A BRIEF SUMMARY OF MY EXPERIENCE TRUST ME THERE IS MORE.... IF I CAN FIND A WAY TO SHUT THIS SCHOOL DOWN FOR GOOD I WOULD. UPDATE: just recently I was going over my license and I realized my extra 100hrs were never honored either. What a scam.

Tl;dr: Ive never had a more unprofessional encounter in my life... Absolutely shocked at what was supposed to be this great "journey" (according to front desk girl). Just 30 minutes ago, I was introduced to McKayla who was appointed to me for my hair appointment at 5:30pm. I used to have a short pixie cut, which I then turned white and began coloring with all sorts of funky colors. A year ago I began to grow my hair and now have about 9 inches of hair to work with. I wanted to go back to white which takes a large process. I went in knowing this. After sitting for 45 minutes waiting on McKayla, she then begins to sort through my hair. Mind you, I keep my hair natural, and I only use coconut oil and conditioners. She begins by telling me my hair is thin. Which... Its really not and never has been. After explaining my request (again), she goes off. Then she comes back with some random guy who blatantly tells me "what is it you want?" And I explain (AGAIN), to which he cringes and tells me "oh, no, she cant do that tonight." .... And asks me to come back on a Saturday.... I tell him I cant, because I work, and then he apologizes, offers highlights.... And walks away. So does McKayla. Wtf. I immediately start bawling after I leave, because little did they know how big of a deal this was for me or how I had saved up money I dont get to use on these sort of things for this moment... But oh well. Never going here again.

If you have 4 hours to waste and just want a simple textbook haircut then fine go here otherwise dont waste your time I have been here twice and both times is been a disaster the first time I was literally there for almost 7 hours to get my haircut in a new modern Bob where its you know really short in the back and then angled down to the front and no one could figure out how to do this cut until finally the like tier 2 side teacher cut my hair but I was still there for seven hours I still tipped as much as my haircut just because I was happy to be able to walk out looking halfway decent the second time I go back the counter is not manned properly so you have to wait in line and then by the time I get to the front desk she tells me that I havent made it in time for my haircut and refused to cut my hair well if youre going to keep people to a strict time adherence to be able to receive their haircut that they drove 30 minutes to go get then perhaps you should have more people at the front desk so theyre not waiting in line missing their hair cut time this is the worst place Ive ever been it was even worse than what I went to Aveda and so my advice is if youre looking to get an actual modern trendy haircut and dont want to waste your entire day doing so spend a little bit of extra money and go somewhere else

After waiting 45 minutes and everyone who walked in after me being taken back, I went to the desk to let them know I wouldnt be staying. They aplogized and took me right back and made everything ok. The color looks great however I got home and realized my face is stained with color and I also found globs of it in my ears! Too make it worse the red dye must have ran down the smock or through it and stained my favorite white shirt :/ it was already 9:45 when they finished my cut however I couldnt stay any later to have the stylist dry my hair and finish any additional cutting or thinning due to having a small child I needed to get home too. I never imagined a 6:30pm appointment would last until almost 10pm or actually later if everything was finished. I then had to walk in the dark and empty parking lot to the other end of the mall because the mall was closed. I will say, My stylist was very sweet and did a fantastic job with getting my color exactly as I wanted and Im sure once I dry and style my hair the cut will be great too. She offered for me to come back and she would fix anyrhing i wasnt happy with. I just wish the front desk was more organized and the color job a bit less messy. Bottom line, if you dont have 4 hours for color and a trim pay more at a full salon.
