Programs

Cosmetology

Our cosmetology program features design, cutting, coloring, multicultural techniques, makeup, fashion trends, manicuring, pedicuring, basic facials, and the art of hairdressing in a three-phase program we call Core, Adaptive, and Creative.

  • CORE – Learn the rules! In this introductory course, you'll learn the core foundations that will let you confidently begin working on guests, and your Learning Leaders will help you blend professional skills with personal development.
  • ADAPTIVE – Apply the rules! Building on the skills you learned in Core, this intermediate level teaches the value of time management, retailing, and the art of successful communication.
  • CREATIVE – Expand the rules! This final phase takes you through advanced hairdressing and chemical work. During your last months and weeks toward graduation, you'll spend your time in high gear, preparing yourself for your future salon career.

Program Integrity

Paul Mitchell the School Pasadena -CA is accredited by NACCAS and uses its calculation for student placement based on each program offered. NACCAS shows that for the most recent annual reporting period that the Cosmetology program has a placement rate of 77%.

On-time completion is defined by the U.S. Department of Education as anyone who graduates within the normal completion time. When a student completes their graduation requirements, including all theory and practical assignments, and the required number of clock hours contracted for within their original contracted graduation date, that student is considered to have graduated on-time. If a student delays their graduation for any reason, such as family responsibilities, day care issues, and other life events, which causes them to graduate after their original contract end date they are not considered an on-time graduate. Please note that our graduation rates that are provided in the school catalog are based on how many students started the program and how many completed within the reporting period. The on-time graduation rate is 6%.
