Paul Mitchell The School Modesto

If you could give no stars I would, if you are thinking about attending cosmetology school. This one probably isn’t for you.
The reason I attended was because they had evening courses and that’s what I needed most.
They are constantly going through learning leaders, only a handful stay and the majority get so overwhelmed they leave.
In night school you learn nothing, you never have guest artist, you have to do all review boxes on a client, no products used or anything.
Daytime you can use doll head, fake hand etc to get review boxes, you get guest artist, but either way after you’ve made it through half of your hours they’ll try to kick you out because they know you’ll be billed the entire amount either way. Melissa in the financial aid office and rosemary are nothing but jokes. Telling me and four of my fellow core sisters we were skating on thin ice.
Had they actually kicked me out like threatened I would have called the local news show and had kurtis investigate.
Long story short, this period of my life was maybe the worst and driving past I still would love to burn it down.
Wouldn’t recommend for anyone

I loved going to this school and getting my hair done, The atmosphere is so nice and clean and the people are all so friendly. The students worked really hard to do a good job and their learning leaders were kind and helpful. Of course its going to take a bit longer because its a school and they are learning! But you cannot beat the prices and they were very polite and professional. I am definitely going back and would recommend this place to everyone I know!!!

I really wanted to like this school. I enrolled here agreeing to pay the $ 10,000 tuition because of the ‘Paul Mitchell’ name. Don’t let the big talk on the school tour fool you… this is a Cosmetology school first and foremost. Esthetics is merely a side note. As an Estie student here you will be required to perform services on guests without adequate products, you will hear a lot of «I don’t know» when you ask instructors questions and you will hear about your sales numbers every single day. Additional classes are offered, however they are not included with tuition costs. I elected to take the PCA Chemical Peel certification, paying $ 300 cash to the school directly. We were misled into believing we received 2 kits with PCA products for this price, but only received 1. Total PCA charged was $ 175, the remaining $ 125 went into the school owners pockets. Per student. Just my personal experience. Bottom line is, I made it work. got my license, so it wasn’t all bad, but if I could do it over knowing what I know now…

I am currently an esthetician student at Paul Mitchell and it has been a horrible experice. Cosmotologist feel the same way about the school. This school promises way more than they actually deliver. My esthetics class and I have not had a teacher or class over a month now. And the school has yet done nothing about. Hands on is very limited. U have to pay for «student service» in order to do hands on. I’ve been here for 4 months and did a total of 3 facials and 2 waxes with my
Class mates. Please consider other schools and don’t be fooled by their sugar coated tour.

I strongly do not recommend enrolling as a student here. I strongly advise you to look at other schools first. When touring I felt really good about my decision to enroll here. Soon after school started I quickly realized I was lied to. They try and make the school sound so amazing. You are lied to from the beginning. Every time you ask a question I anyone you get a different answer from every single person. The school is unorganized and unprofessional. In the beginning the owners make it seem like they are so involved and friendly when they are actually extremely rude and are never there unless they are getting some kind of publicity to make themselves look good. I was so excited to be a cosmetologist but my bad experience made me not even want to pursue a career in this field. BEWARE OF BEING SCAMMED BY PAUL MITCHELL MODESTO.

I am a student at Paul Mitchell Modesto. There was no question for me where I was going to go for my education; the school’s reputation is heads above any other school especially in our area so that was an easy choice. What I LOVE and didn’t expect was the Paul Mitchell culture. Education and skill is absolutely a must obviously but a culture that believes and lives the truth of putting others first brings success is the only type of environment I will be in. I have no desire to be in a «me first» or «dog eat dog» environment. I will find my way out real quick. Zig Ziglar said it best when he said «You can have everything in life you want, if you will just help other people get what they want.» I live by this and am beyond thrilled to be trained and educated by those who believe and live it too.
Honestly everyone from the front desk to the owner and everyone in between are down to earth loving people who want to see us succeed and do it while having a great time!
Don’t think for a second that this attitude, way of doing business/​educating hinders or cheats the learning portion of the school because it doesn’t, it improves it.
If you’ve ever thought about this industry or being in the field of beauty in any facet I recommend Paul Mitchell Partner Schools and specifically Safavi Institute.

So, before I start let me just say that I was actually thinking about attending Paul Mitchell and letting college go for a while. I really thought about it and came to the conclusion today that even if I want to go to beauty school it will no longer be at Paul Mitchell. Let me just say that the lady who gave me a tour of the school was amazing, and very kind. At the end of the tour she introduced us to their facials and so on. My bestfriend and I decided that since we liked the school we would go for one. Let me just get to the bottom of this that we were lied to from the beginning and they wasted our time. We waited there for an HOUR! Yes an HOUR! everytime someone told us 5 more minutes, and oh, the best part was when they said «we’re so sorry, we know you have been waiting for a long time but our girls are all out to lunch, they will be ready in 5 more minutes (20 minutes after the conversation and no one came)» At this point I was completely annoyed. First of all, why set up an appointment at 12:45 when you know these people will be at lunch? Finally I just had enough after an hour and decided to get up and leave, and right away I was asked if I would like a hand massage! Really? I asked for a FACIAL not hand massage. I wouldn’t even recommend it to my enemy, lol. So unprofessional and ridiculous. BTW, this was at Paul Mitchell Partner School in Modesto, CA.
