Paul Mitchell offers 35 cosmetology programs throughout the country. The schools rely on a variety of teaching methods, such as written exams, lectures, spatial demonstrations and more, to prepare students for careers in hair cutting and styling, nail technology, skin care and related services. The curriculum is broken down into a 3-step process: learning core skills or rules of cosmetology; adapting those skills and techniques to a real-life environment; and gaining the confidence to be creative and improvise successfully within the core skills. Each program varies by state in order to meet individual state licensing requirements, which include a minimum amount of time spent in classes and passing state board examinations.
