Paul Mitchell The School Tampa

As a customer, I am now very disappointed. Even at a school - the experience should be for the customer. I have run into more than one occassion that this school did not return a call of concern, and better yet - did not want to give the type of haircut that I have had in the past. The methodology of work is great but if the student cannot be taught diversity and flexibility, I have to say that the student will be unable to cope with patrons in salons. The services are priced below a Paul Mitchell affiliate but local salons are charging the same prices for the services so this is no customer oriented in the slightest. I am unsure as I know only one PM graduater personally (in RI) and she has failed to find employment as a stylist. more

World's biggest skeptic. Right here! I know that changing/choosing careers is terrifying. A word from the wise, ""It isn't any easier at 40 than it is at 18."" I also know when people are talking bull sh*#$ and when they're telling you the truth."" In the beginning, everything I heard at Paul Mitchell struck me as ""too f**$ing good to be true."" But...I followed my gut and to be honest...that's what you should do too. If it fits...then sign the papers. This school and its teachers are designed to deliver you the very best tools in the industry to succeed. But you have to want some kind of change in your life. They are not going to bend to meet your lifestyle. You need to be open to change. Other schools can teach you how to do hair. But Paul Mitchell will teach you how to do hair (brilliantly) and how to live life as a good and confident person. Is it easy? No...but you don't want easy...you want someone to help you succeed. You want someone to hold your feet to the fire...You want someone to lovingly guide you into a new life. I will never forget my experience at Paul Mitchell! I learned tons (much more than I expected)...I developed a confidence that I didn't know I had. I grew into a new and much better version of me. And I found my future. But the difference is that I worked very hard and wanted to succeed. People that skip school or don't give the learning leaders respect get ignored when they need help. It's not rocket science...do what your told and you'll get what you're promised! So if you're thinking about doing hair...then this is the place you wanna be! Best of luck to you. Oh and one more thing...the Orlando school (it's kick a$$ too) but I heard that Tampa is rated higher within the family of schools. We actually had people coming from Orlando because our school was in the top 5 in the USA...theirs isn't. So...suck on that Wayfairing Stranger. :-) more

You might want to think twice about enrolling in this school, go to the Orlando one instead. It may seem like unicorns and glitter when walking around, but the instructors are hardly experienced. There aren't many that have spent five or more years in a salon to earn the title ""learning leader"", there's also not enough of them to go around. A lot of them also have a tendency of treating the students extremely poorly, and when approached with these issues, the proclamation of ""it will be handled"" is recited over and over and nothing changes. They also like to make sure you know ""this is a business first and a school second"". The education far exceeds anything else out there, but the way it's delivered, and by who, was the worst experience of my life. more

Ibleedblackandwhite...do you by any chance have photos of the inside of the school...I'm very interested in enrolling at PMTS in Tampa but I have not moved to Tampa yet and will not be able to see the inside of the school until I'm already enrolled. This would be extremely helpful if you do!!! thanks more

this is the first part of my review...the rest of the review will be under the comment section:\r \r I would first love to start out by saying that it is so great to live in this amazing country where people are entitled to their freedom of speech........however, Obi Wan Kanobi , I must say that unless you know the facts, especially regarding legal matters where you contradict yourself repeatedly, your opinion really doesn't mean much.\r \r I am a graduate of Paul Mitchell the School Tampa and I would love to give you MY opinion of MY ACTUAL EXPERIENCE firsthand of the school. I must tell you that 99% of the student body LOVES PMTS! There is always that 1% that had a bad experience, which is bound to happen when you have over 200 females under one roof daily...and to that 1% I am terribly sorry.\r For me...PMTS has been absolutely life changing. Funny, I know, to think that a ""hair school"" could be life changing, but it’s the truth.\r \r I graduated last year and during my time spent at the school, the staff and student body was truly like a second family to me, they were there whenever I needed them through the good, the bad, and the ugly. I remember going through medical problems and having to take a leave of absence when my father was going through surgery for prostate cancer and during these times, I received calls and text messages from staff and management and an envelope full of caring handwritten notes from fellow future professionals when I returned. \r \r As far as education goes, Paul Mitchell the School offers some of the most incredible classes and systems for color, cutting, and finishing hair than any other school I have heard of. There are at least 20-30 future professionals that I went to school with that had left other schools to join PMTS for a better experience and education. I was MORE than prepared to move into my salon when I graduated….but I put a lot of effort into my education, which not everyone does.\r \r continue reading under comments: Pros: amazing enery, culture, education, staff, and students. Cons: nada! more

My sister recommended the place. I've gone twice and received two great hair cuts. Blow dry, cut and shampoo for only $12. I looked like I had paid over $100. Great products and kind service. Pros: Great prices, professional, great service Cons: Wouldn't Recommend the Nail Services more

What a rip off! I spent $60 to get 3 red stripes dyed into my hair. It took the girl 4 hours; so long that she had to rush me out the door without a hair cut or even drying my hair!! She ushered me out the door into the parking lot with dripping wet hair; she didn’t even bother to comb my hair the right way! Thank goodness I had a brush & a hair tie in the car. \r The worst part is that after all that I could have done a better job if I had done it myself. You’re better off going to Super Cuts or Fantastic Sam’s at least if they screw up they don’t take 4 hours & 60 dollars to do it. Cons: Huge waste of time & money! more

The student there seem genuinely happy to be there. In my opinion, the technical skill is far greater in graduates from here than graduated from Aveda. I've had my hair done multiple times and I've always been pleased! Pros: Tons of Parking, Easy to Get an Appointment, Affordable Cons: Location - it's a bit hard to find if you don't know the area more
