As a first time client at Paul Mitchell The School, I just had an excellent experience with Phase I stylist Sabrina. She gave me the cut I wanted, was respectful, sociable, and focused. The trade school environment was bright with excited and interested students. It looks like a great place to learn and work. I will definitely be coming back in the future.

Serina C did a great job on my facial :) she was soothing and sweet and i felt like she really cares about what she does!I usually can’t afford such luxuries but it was a great deal and I’m happy I did it.Only downside was the ambiance— I understand that it’s student learning but the chit chat of other students in the room made it hard to relax. Serina asked them to be more quiet but I would say people were talking (not just whispering) for most of my experience

This place is amazing, cheap hair services and a great experience. Plus by coming here the students get hands on practice, the instructors supervise and offer guidance and fix any mistakes the students may happen to make. I would definitely recommend to my friends!

Victoria Jimenez is an amazing person! She’s been helping me to go through the right path after I graduated. She’s super nice and funny! She’s always smiling and makes you feel welcome. She has also helped me look for salons where I can work at!

The actual services are always great, as are the students. Every time I’ve gone, the students have been kind, professional, and done awesome work.However, when I went yesterday one woman, who I think was one of the “learning leaders”, kept taking her mask off to talk (or sometimes just because). She also kept rubbing her eyes, nose, and the corners of her mouth while folding towels. I understand that she is probably vaccinated already however, because the cdc still hasn’t definitively said whether vaccinated people can spread the virus, it seemed pretty risky (not to mention just gross in general).With that being said, all of the students kept theirs on. They also all had great attitudes. The people at the front desk were very kind and accommodating as well.

I love coming here and doing some crazy colors and cuts but I had a question do you guys have any pregnancy safe hair dyes because I want to do my hair purple but not sure if there are any pregnancy safe hair dyes in general I could use!

I am shocked and hurt at what transpired today when I walked in for a haircut. I requested a haircut with a level 2 stylist and the person at the front desk told me there was someone available. After the haircut, I asked the same person at the front desk if the stylist was a level 1 or 2 student. She told me she was a level 1. I emphasized that I had asked for a level 2 stylist. She responded that she had assigned me to the level 1 stylist because she knew some sign language (I am deaf.) I was never even told that I would be getting a level 1 stylist. This is clear cut discrimination and should never have happened. I never even got an apology from the receptionist. What she did was wrong and I hope that Paul Mitchell staff will get discrimination training and not allow this to happen again to someone else. I was completely blindsided by the whole thing and am very upset to be the victim of discrimination at this place.

Shiloh my hairstylest was AMAZING. My before and after pictures look so different. I went in with a picture of a dark red balayage. I currently had brown hair with grown out blond highlights. She nailed the color and suggested some great products. She not only styled my hair but showed me how to so it at home which was really appreciated. I noticed that she asked a few questions to other students and instructor when she needed to which I thought was appropriate and helpful. The result turned out exactly as I had imagined and Ill definitely be back!

I go here to get my hair done, and while they almost always do a great job (the exception of 1 time in 5 years) it is soo frustrating to try to make an appointment. They never answer their phones! I don’t live nearby either so I have to make the drive to make the appointment and then make the drive again the day of the appointment. Don’t they have a receptionist???

If you plan on using financial aid don’t bother coming to this school. The whole system is terrible, they will not help you and they will avoid you at all cost. They do not care to help.

I dont typically leave reviews, or share my experience, however I feel that you should BE WARNED if you choose to go to this school to get your hair done. As a customer, going to a school, I did anticipate something going wrong, however I was hopeful and I couldnt find a better price to get my hair cut and colored, so I figured I would give it a try. But now I have to wake up every morning and try to figure something out with what I got.I initially went in to get my hair cut and colored and chose the P1 option, the lower level students to save a little bit of money and to make sure I could give a good tip. I was told that the teacher would be near and would be supervising as my services were being done. I did not have an issue with my hairdresser, however, I have dark brown hair and I wanted in my hair dyed deep red. I also wanted a super simple long layered haircut as my hair WAS towards my mid-back in length.Firstly my hairdresser pulled out hair swatches so I could decide a color that would best suit what I was looking for. She then decided to put lightener in a dark brown and red hair dye mix, which made the red turn orange on my hair. She didnt let the last section of my hair process enough, right where I part my hair, and my roots were bright orange not deep red. Then when we got to the cut she cut 4 to 5 in off of my hair after I specifically said I want to keep as much length as possible and to not cut more than one inch off. She didnt cut long layers in my hair. The instructor even asked if she had tried to cut long layers into my hair, and my hairdresser replied yes cant you tell. The top layer of my hair was still the longest and layered out the bottom of my hair. She did the exact opposite of what I asked and cut off a significant part of my hair.I went home and try to work with it but it was bad. I called the store six times and left three messages. I then sent in a communication through their website after not hearing back from them all morning to try to see if I could get my hair fixed or get a refund. I didnt want to take a refund, I wanted my hair fixed and ended up having to leave work early in order to get it redone because of their schedule and because I needed my hair done before the following Monday.Once they did finally contact me that afternoon, they were very grateful that I was willing to go back in and get my hair redone rather than argue for a refund. Of course with this being a school, and my anticipation of having mistakes being made, I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt and give them a second chance. Of course they gave me a different student and they also made sure it was a P2 student with a little bit more experience.Again my hairdresser was wonderful and I was excited that I was going to be able to have the hair that I wanted. We did a small test of color on my hair and went for it. The hair color is still a little light but it is definitely a deeper red which I like. She then went through and actually cut my hair with long layers and ended up taking even more hair off in order to fix the mistakes that the previous hairdresser had made. The previous hairdresser should not have been able to make those mistakes had the instructor been more hands on and showed her what a long layered haircut is.At the end of the day I ended up spending as much as I would have at a salon to get my hair cut and colored, even after going back for a second time and not having to pay. I did leave a generous tip for my hairdresser as a token of appreciation for fixing what should have been done in the first place.I am now just going to dye my own hair and wait for my hair to grow back out. Essentially this was a waste of my time and money. I am definitely going to just go to a salon from now on.YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

My experience with Madi was great! She was pretty awesome, little bit of sassiness, but she was nice and showed confidence with the services she provided. I’m definitely coming back to see her again. Super happy with my hair cut. Only thing I regret is the cheapo tip I left for her..she deserved way much more. I usually don’t get my hair done in salons and in schools so I wasn’t educated enough with the customs.. ooops(my bad madi!) I’ll definitely make it up to her my next visit that I’ve already scheduled.

Bri, my hair 2nd level cosmetology student was great, personality wise we got along famously! I had my hair done on Friday, after loss of tears, and sleep, Monday, I called, and asked for a refund for my service, minus the tip of course (she did do the work). I sat in the chair for 4hrs for partial highlights and a cut, an almost 2hrs round trip, so 6 hours later I arrived home with my hair being nothing like the pictures I showed. (Id like to preface, I understand that Bri is a student. Im an esthetician and I have had my hair done, cut, highlights/lowlights before at school, but never for 4 hours with zero expected results.)My husband arrived home and said, you had your hair darkened, I thought you were getting highlights? If the color I wanted was unachievable this shouldve been discussed thoroughly before agreeing to do my hair. I walked out with a jagged, blunt cut, and the same color I walked in with...I ended up going to Ashlee at Colorado Mills, Master Cuts to have my hair fixed. She did a hands down AMAZING job, in 2 hours(half the time as previous).

I attended and graduated from this school and I would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to go into the beauty industry. I felt very prepared when taking my state board exams and I started my job at a high end salon days after my graduation! Some of my favorite parts of school were getting involved in design team and being in the phase 2 honors program and meeting some of my lifelong friends! I loved my instructors and the administrators! Now that I have been in the salon for 4 months and I have had time to reflect on my education, I have really grown to appreciate it even more! PM will always be my home!

I am a student here at Paul Mitchell. My rating is based off my learning leaders, fellow students & front desk ONLY. NOTHING else. I love the education Im getting here at PM I also love all the girls & guys I go to school with, everyone has such a unique & warm welcoming personality. They are all creative & out going in different ways. The learning leaders (Krystal, Becca, April, Jerry, Caroline, Stephanie, Lindsay, Margie, Shady & Stephanie who now work is in marketing) Are all amazing teachers, very inspirational, professional, & well versed in what they teach. Ive had a good experience with each of them & the previous learning leaders here. Our front desk here at PM is ALWAYS on top of things, handling the chaos very well, & giving great customer service. So over all I think Paul Mitchell is a spectacular school to attend & get your hair done at.

Absolutely love the students, they are so cute and sweet and do such great work. Went in for a deep conditioning and was very pleased. However, the front desk ladies were very condescending and rude when I checked in. I work front desk at a salon and would never speak to guests the way they did to me. Disappointed in them, but again my actual service was wonderful.

My roommate told me about this place and I gave it a chance. Thanks roomie! I came in as a walk-in and was very lucky to be taken. However, appointments are recommended which is what I did after my nicely made haircut. The instructor knows what she is doing and the students are not afraid to ask her for any suggestions. I will definitely give these guys an A+.

Ive been going to the Paul Mitchell School for haircuts/eyebrow waxes since I moved to the Lakewood in 2012. Once you find the student for you, they are great. Since it is a school, I know scheduling around absences can be difficult so patience is key when going. Ive had multiple different students throughout the years and they always pass me off to someone great!

I agree with the front desk comments. Very rude, act like you are a bother, and not friendly, which is sad because it doesnt do well for the school and leaves a sour experience.

Review №32

A few days ago I went in and really wasnt expecting too much because I know it is a school so they might not be able to do everything and make it look exactly how you want, but it ended up being the best Ive gotten my hair. The student I was paired with was Lauren Miller and she was very patient and would tell me and her teacher what her process was. I was interested in highlights, so we decided to do them and I absolutely did not feel like she was trying to sell them to me,Lauren was diligent and we did ombre with my hair, with two different shades. I really appreciate the patience and the effort Lauren put into my appointment. I have some pretty interesting hair that doesnt lift or dry as quickly as others. She stayed for a long time after the other students left (5 hours total appointment). I felt bad for taking up so much time, but she and the other teachers never made me feel like I was inconveniencing them at all! Lauren and the teachers were chatty and kind, and not in a fake hair stylist kind of way.Ive already gotten so many compliments on my hair! Before I avoided going to hair salons because it was always so expensive for something that only left me feeling unsure and broke. But not only am I happy I chose to come here, I realize that I was so fortunate to get paired with the talented Lauren who made it such an effortless and enjoyable process.

Review №36

Great place for the students to learn and for customers to get a budget cut, style, color etc. My biggest advice is make sure you have PLENTY of time. I was there for AN ENTIRE HOUR for a simple bob trim, no wash, no blow-dry, no layering or anything else (and I had to ask them to hurry because I hadnt planned for being there longer than an hour).The student was nice however she kept repeatedly and obviously hitting me in the face with the blow dryer, and yanking my earrings with the comb pretty painfully. From what I could tell, she was just stressed from trying to go faster as I had to leave by a certain time however, it was still an unpleasant experience. It would have been a slightly better rating had I not been told by multiple people that essentially it was my fault that we had to rush because I hadnt mentioned in the beginning that I was in a hurry. Apparently wanting a trim to take less than an hour is a hurry so, I would say give this place a try but make sure you have plenty of time! I probably wont be back myself, though.

If I could give less then a star I would. I’m a student at PMTS, the school doesn’t have any programs in place for special needs students and class sizes are too big. Honestly not enough professors to go around.the school doesn’t accommodate special needs individuals at all and refuses to put a program in place. On top of that the school claims a no tolerance harassment/ bullying policy but does not enforce it. For an 18k education i expect more. Honestly any Beauty school is better then PMTS Denver...

I made an appointment for haircut and balayage and was paired with Michelle Wong. Michelle did an excellent job and Ive never been happier with my cut and color before! I showed her a few pictures of cuts and color I was hoping to achieve and it came out perfect. Sometimes in other salons I tend to get talked into layers or something but I got what I wanted here. It can take some time, as the students are learning and meeting with their instructor while doing your hair, but its worth it! The instructor also totals how much everything will be before the appointment so everything is clear. I had a great experience and will be going back!

If youre thinking of going to cosmetology school, DO NOT COME HERE. Financial aid is a mess and she refuses to help you in any way even if its as simple as doing her job, the teachers cause most of the schools drama, aside from Ms.B, and Ms. Kim. The education system is flawed and they will do anything in their power to keep you behind, but make sure you leave learning absolutely nothing. They do NOTHING to make sure youre prepared for state boards, the tools they give you to use break as they are so poorly made, as well as a lack of education on how to use them. If you invest your money here you can guarantee when you leave you will feel as though you have learned absolutely nothing, but you will leave with debt for a school that was a waste of time.

Worst haircut of my life, and it took 2+ hours (with my 5-year old tagging along!) and cost $45 (just a cut + topcoat=totally pointless)The instructor actually did exactly what I told the student I didnt want.The only good thing in this is that hair grows...but its gonna be a long couple of months before its decent length to fix :(

It felt like bate and switch the moment I walked in the door. The first level girl was unavailable so they would put me with a second level girl for an up charge. Then the instructor advisor came over and said it would be an event style because I mentioned I was going to a wedding. The student did what I said I didn’t want and put so much product on my hair it was redicilous. I went home and curled my own hair.My understanding is that a couple of the bridesmaids who were also at PM had very similar experiences. I’d never go back.

I have been going here for years and have not had a bad experience until Friday. My stylist was an hour late to our appointment and the staff told me she was on her way into the school. When I checked back a half hour later, they told me she was in the building but could not find her. Finally she arrived and did not even apologize. I had planned for 3 hours for a cut and color which ended up taking 5 hours! When the instructor helped the stylist cut my hair, the stylists response was I cant cut hair because the hair slips through the gaps in my fingers (my jaw dropped upon hearing this). While the instructor discounted my treatment to only $60, I left with a lopsided and uneven haircut, a frizzy blowout, and a feeling like I never want to venture back into that place again. Sorry Paul Mitchell.

Review №74

The worst experience in a salon and I didn’t even get my hair done. DO NOT comeHere if you’ve ever used box dye in your life, because they will turn you away. The staff was rude, judge mental, and condescending, first telling me it would be one price and then another. When I wasn’t concerned about the price, the staff started to make snide comments to each other talking about how long my hair was and how much time it would take. They continued to grill me about my hair before I told them I had used box dye severa YEARS ago. This is when staff took the opportunity to tell me there was nothing they could do for me because my hair wasn’t fit to dye. I left crying, feeling terrible about myself, and called a friend who’s a hairstylist. This friend told me that although sometimes boxed hair dye can effect the way the hair lifts, it is rare that it will not get lighter at all whatsoever, especially considering this was years ago I used box dye. Both students and their instructors went out of their way to make me feel uncomfortable and ridiculed, not an experience that you should ever have in a salon environmenT. I was so devastated by the way I was treated and wouldn’t wish that experience on anyone, so I am warning others here.

Review №75

Update 01/19/19:A year later and my hair is still trashed. I had gorgeous red curly hair that is now brittle, broken and has horrible bleached out stripes. I am unsure why Kelly and Morgan thought BLEACHING and then depositing color was a good idea on curly hair, especially in CO. I went from low maintenance luscious locks to continuous maintenance to tone the strands of lifeless hair they soaked with bleach.Perhaps it is time to find new Educators Paul Mitchell? I was a loyal patron for ages and you havent even lifted a finger to figure out how to fix your debacle. Oh, and that is without mentioning the now THOUSANDS of dollars I have spent in repairs and maintenance after this disastrous highlight.-------------------------------It is with a heavy heart that I am writing this review as I have been a Paul Mitchell client at this location for 8 years. I have had fantastic services due to the previous Leadership and an amazing color formulated by the owner of a Paul Mitchell school in another city. I get the same service every 3-6 months; babylights with said formula and a little toner to cool off my red hair.I unfortunately had the worst hair experience of my life last week. I came in for my usual babylights and tone. I came out with chunky slices that looked like they had been grown out for a month. I didnt even get the tone because the Learning Leader, Kelly, was fighting with me about the color. I walked out looking like a demented skunk.In the last week I have spent 14 hours and $270 trying to repair the damage caused by bad instruction from Kelly. She was questioning me during the entire service and disagreeing with what I was asking. Even styling at the end was a mess. I asked for a simple french braid and Kelly gave me controlled curls.Trust me, I know it is a school. I get that, but giving students bad instruction and not listening to your clients is a disgrace.Morgan, Katie and Yvette tried to fix the disastrous hair that I now have to no avail. They had to perform a full color on me (which Ive never had or even wanted) and now my scalp is on fire. They collectively tried to fix the thwarted instruction of Kelly and my hair is just awful. It looks like a multi-colored freak show.Please, please bring back the standard of care that you once had! I now have to figure out what to do with my once gorgeous locks.....and spend more money to do it.I am disgusted with what Paul Mitchell has done to my hair. I regret EVER making an appointment last Saturday. You have most certainly lost me as a client and I will cease to continue providing my countless recommendations to your establishment.

Went in for a trim by a friend who was attending the school. The ladies at the desk acted as though I was a nuisance, didnt bother to greet me. Had to remind them i had an appointment and to check me in. In terms of the hair cut, it was perfect, but because she was my close friend. Looking around, I wouldnt put my trust into any of the other students. I have heard horror stories about the school, losing student hours, not having the right equipment to teach and going by worksheets instead of hands-on. As far as the rumors go, this shop wont last. Send the time, effort and money on a place thats worth it. Paul Mitchell is just a name, and heres proof that doesnt mean its a decent school.

My hair was brassy and grown out before now its icy and natural looking! The students gave me some baby lights, some balayage, and toned it. Also the girls gave me a small trim! I love it! The color is such a bright blonde! Its perfect for me and doesnt even feel shorter! Thank you Mileena and Alyssa you are both wonderful stylists! This place is great!!

I usually am happy with my experience at Paul Mitchell in terms of the haircut. But, this time, I never made it to the haircut. I had called earlier in the week and got a Saturday appointment with Patrick. Looking back, I usually get a reminder call, which never happened. I get to my appointment and was told that the appointment that I made never got put in the books, but Patrick knows about it. Then I was told Patrick is running about 45 minutes late, but I can put you with someone else. Obviously, my appointment had not gotten to the books. I then asked for the manager and was told that she had stepped out. I asked for her email, and, when sending an email to her found out that I was given the incorrect email address by Bryttni at the front desk. I went back and got the correct email from her. Asked that the manager call me. Still waiting. Guess its back to Aveda in downtown Denver in order to get a professional operation.

I cant give it zero stars... which is unfortunate! It may not be everyones experience, but I am upset with the learning instructors, the students and the customer service. Its a matter of respect! I walk in to the front desk with two girls who dont have the time of day to acknowledge their customers - come on. Over FOUR hours to do color, ten foils and blow-dry style. I had to run outside with color dripping from my forehead and pins in my hair to pay for parking more than once - embarrassing! The students complained about everything while working on their clients, including boys, alcohol, drugs, sex... you name it. The instructors treat the students terribly and roll their eyes at everyone - I watched them standing around chatting about eyeliner while two students at each my side were waiting their approval to start on someones hair. I will NEVER go back, but I do wish the students well in their learning. Does the curriculum have a course on MANNERS and ethics?!

I live in Tennessee and was visiting family in Denver. I had my niece, Kiersten Gazzaway, cut my hair into a new style!!! She did a fabulous job. I would recommend her to anyone living in the Denver area!

Absolutely awful and completely unprofessional. The screwed up the booking so completely they couldnt keep it and I had to make an appointment at another salon. Dont go here - its a embarrassingly bad, utterly amateurish and they have no idea what theyre doing.
