In 2008, the U.S. News and World Report magazine recognized that the U.S. job scene has been changing for a long time.  Increasingly, bachelor’s degree holders have been experiencing increased difficulty finding jobs, mainly because companies continue to send business and technical professional jobs “offshore.”  Secondly, as the majority of high school teachers push students to go to college, there’s a decreasing supply of professional services workers, skilled in the arts and crafts.  Therefore, the changing work environment has seen a significant demand for women and men with a career-focused education whose abilities stand out in the arts and crafts – just like Cosmetology and Esthetics.

The Paul Mitchell Beauty Schools are vastly different in their approach to education compared to their competition. Paul Mitchell has a culture based educational experience.  They provide the most current curriculum and also have classes that appeal to ALL types of learners.  Paul Mitchell starts training you on how to become a complete professional from day one!
