SO happy with my hair! I've been to beauty schools before for hair services and have not always been happy. I went into Paul Mitchell wanting a cut and color.
I was assigned to Taylor, Mika and a "protege" named Cassie. I brought pictures of both the cut and color I wanted, which helped a ton. They brought out the color book and figured out what color dye they should use based on my natural color and the dye already in my hair. I'd never seen so much thought go into picking a color and now I know why they do it: it came out perfect! The cut also went super well and I'm really happy with it.
The salon is clean, bright and open. The students all seem very happy and at ease. They work really well with each other and the instructors. The price for my services was discussed before anything was done, which was much appreciated. My color ended up being $35, as they had to use two bowls of dye (I have a lot of hair!). The cut was treated as an add-on to the chemical service, so it was only $10.
The only negative was the time my services took. I was there for close to 5 hours. But that's normal for a school, so I wasn't bothered. However, if you're in a hurry or a very impatient person, you're only going to get frustrated.
I'm very, very happy with the whole experience and I'll definitely be back!
