Dear Future Professionals and Industry Friends,

What an interesting coincidence: October is both Breast Cancer Awareness Month and Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and the National Cosmetology Association (NCA) has charitable programs related to both. Look Good Feel Better helps individuals with cancer look good and improve their self-esteem; CUT IT OUT builds awareness of domestic abuse by training salon professionals to recognize warning signs and safely refer clients to local resources.

To raise money for these and other important programs, NCA created Dining for Change. Last March, beauty professionals across the country raised $75,000 by gathering at hundreds of dinners to network, share, and enjoy each other’s company. Events included everything from elegant dinners to picnics, pizza parties, potlucks, and more. To continue the local camaraderie, NCA designated October 2009 for the next get-togethers and encourages industry pros and future pros to hold their traditional breast cancer and domestic violence awareness/fundraising events under the Dining for Change banner.

We all love to get together and talk shop. Why not go one step further and add a purpose to your next gathering? Instead of giving the money to a restaurant, how about hosting a potluck and donating those dining-out dollars to industry-related charities? Or you might gather at a restaurant and invite your friends to donate an additional amount to the charities. Either way, while you’re together, you can take some time to educate your friends about these important issues.

It may seem hard to believe that something so simple can make a difference, but it can. That’s the power of grassroots movements. Individual donations add up quickly. Even more important, the value of educating people is immeasurable.

Visit www.ncacares.org/diningforchange where you can download a sample invitation, press release, promotional flyer, descriptions of the charities, and more. Please join us by being a Dining for Change host in October or any other time of the year.

Salons Against Domestic Abuse Fund/CUT IT OUT Advisory Board Member

* Paul Mitchell Schools have donated $25,000 from their annual FUNraising campaign to CUT IT OUT. Jeri Linas will be speaking in October at the biannual Paul Mitchell Schools Summit for all School Owners and Directors.

Paul Mitchell Schools and John Paul Pet in Best Friends News

John Paul Pet Regional Director Shawn Claybaugh and ten Future Professionals from Paul Mitchell The School – St. George visited the Best Friends Animal Society’s pet sanctuary in Kanab, Utah. Shawn first heard about Best Friends when the sanctuary took in 22 of the Michael Vick dogs. He later saw the “Saving the Michael Vick Dogs” episode on the National Geographic Channel’s “DogTown,” which documented the dogs’ arrival and their rehabilitation at the sanctuary.

The Paul Mitchell group arrived at the sanctuary bearing six cases of John Paul Pet shampoos and conditioners, as well as a bag of toys. Their visit was featured in Best Friends News, a publication of the Best Friends Animal Society. Go to: http://bit.ly/MDWEl to read the whole story.

In 2008, visitor clicks funded over 67 million bowls of food for animals sheltering in sanctuaries. Purchases at the Animal Rescue Site store funded an additional 10.8 million bowls of food. You can make a difference in less than a minute.


Paul Mitchell Future Professional Redefines “Brand Loyalty”

Paul Mitchell Future Professional Alexander “Xander” Bergeron shows his school spirit in a really big way. “I will never be able to physically pay back the staff and my fellow Future Professionals at Imagine – A Paul Mitchell Partner School in Little Rock, Arkansas; Winn Claybaugh, for being the visionary he is; the culture and love of the Paul Mitchell School system; or the Be Nice (Or Else!) philosophy for literally saving my life. Add to that the staff at Paul Mitchell The School – Fayetteville, where I am now. This is an industry where I can be forward focused, be myself (and love who that is now), and make a difference in people’s lives. For that I will forever be grateful, and that is why I have the tattoo—because there is SO MUCH MORE when you ‘Look Behind the Bottle!’”

The Future Professionals delighted dozens of children by applying temporary tattoos and painting faces at the Parisian Beauty Academy stand. “Every time we participate in an event like this we are reminded how important it is to be out there, working together, to help make our communities safer and make everyone’s lives a little bit better,” said Parisian event coordinator Natalia Martinez, “and it doesn’t hurt that we always have a great time too!”

The Future Professionals woke up at 3 AM to paint, hang cabinets, help with landscaping, and change lives.




Paul Mitchell Schools Send Kids Back to School in Style

According to the National Retail Federation, the average family spends nearly $400 on back-to-school items, including $200 on clothing and accessories, nearly $100 on shoes, and about $80 on school supplies. Faced with this year’s confusing economy, many families struggled to afford the bare essentials. For them, haircuts weren’t even on the list—until Paul Mitchell Schools came along! Future Professionals from the nationwide network donated their time and talents at back-to-school events across the country. Here are just a few of the many events that were held:
  • At “Back to School: New Year, New You,” Design Team members from the Carolina Academy – A Paul Mitchell Partner School in Gastonia, North Carolina, partnered with the public library to give appearance, fitness, dress, and hair care tips to local teenage girls.
  • Bella Beauty Academy – A Paul Mitchell Partner School in Monroeville, Pennsylvania, gave 100 haircuts to disadvantaged children at the Salvation Army’s “Back to School Bash.”
  • In Wisconsin, The Academy Waukesha – A Paul Mitchell Partner School gave free haircuts and braids at the sixth annual “Back to School Boost” for foster kids.
  • Seniors from a Connecticut retirement center handed out back-to-school supplies while past, present, and future Design Team members from North Haven Academy – A Paul Mitchell Partner School gave free haircuts to over 100 children.

  • Cosmetology Career Center – A Paul Mitchell Partner School in Dallas, Texas, volunteered at five back-to-school events, providing makeovers for teenage girls in foster care and haircuts for kids on free or reduced lunch plans.
  • The Delaware Academy – A Paul Mitchell Partner School took part in a back-to-school haircutting event and became a drop-off center for Shoes 2 Share, an organization that collects shoes for those in need.
  • At the “Back to School Big Give” in Dixon, California, Future Professionals from the California Academy – A Paul Mitchell Partner School gave free haircuts to children from struggling families.
  • Future Professionals from Paul Mitchell The School – Tampa gave over 200 haircuts at the “All About Kids Back-to-School Bash,” where kids also received free bicycle helmets and parents learned about tutoring programs and financial planning for college.
  • The Be Nice (Or Else!) Team from The Temple – A Paul Mitchell Partner School donated VIP cards, product samples, and more than 50 haircuts at the Frederick County Housing Authority’s annual back-to-school event.
  • Design Team and staff members from Paul Mitchell The School – Indianapolis gave over 120 haircuts in four hours at Fast Track, a program that gives school supplies (and now haircuts) to children whose families qualify for financial assistance.
  • The Be Nice (or Else!) Team from Trend Setters College of Cosmetology – A Paul Mitchell Partner School in Bradley, Illinois, teamed up with Catholic Charities, the NFL Chicago Bears, and 32 other organizations for the 2009 Back to School Fair. Children from low-income families received school supplies, free dental exams, and 180 haircuts. Attracted by the Future Professionals’ enthusiasm, Chicago Bears players and Coach Lovie Smith visited their booth to meet the team and offer their personal thanks.



Several Paul Mitchell Schools took part in the annual Fred Jordan Missions’ “Back to School New Clothing Giveaway.” Over 5,000 impoverished inner city children in the Los Angeles area received new clothing, shoes, hygiene kits, and Paul Mitchell shampoo. Future Professionals from Paul Mitchell The School – Costa Mesa, Paul Mitchell The School – Sherman Oaks, and Cao Institute of Aesthetics – A Paul Mitchell Partner School gave hundreds of haircuts and goody bags.



“With the economic chaos in our nation, the families here in the inner city have been hit very hard,” said Fred Jordan Missions President Willie Jordan. “Thousands of little children struggle daily with the humbling consequences of poverty: they go to school hungry, wearing little more than rags. They suffer ridicule by their classmates and they are often embarrassed, causing them difficulty in their studies. However, thanks to [your] generous efforts, the Paul Mitchell tent was once again a happy place for the children.”


Paul Mitchell Schools Remember September 11

Every year since the 9/11 tragedy, Paul Mitchell Schools have held special events in remembrance of the lives lost that day. “The lesson we learned from 9/11 was unity,” said Paul Mitchell Schools Dean and Cofounder Winn Claybaugh. “Each year, we unite in showing our appreciation, patriotism, and gratitude by planning something special in every school.”

Following are just a few examples of this year’s September 11 tributes:
  • In California, Paul Mitchell The School – Costa Mesa established a widows and orphans foundation for local firefighters and has raised money for that organization every year.
  • Paul Mitchell The School – Sherman Oaks dressed in red, white, and blue and decked out their meeting room with matching balloons and streamers. They presented songs, poems, and 9/11 reflections, followed by a continental breakfast.
  • In Illinois, Trend Setters College of Cosmetology – A Paul Mitchell Partner School delivered baked goods and thank-you cards to their local fire and police departments.
  • In Maryland, The Temple – A Paul Mitchell Partner School started the day with Maya Angelou’s poem about September 11, followed by a “Where were you that day?” activity. They ended their day by taking goody bags full of Tea Tree products to their local firehouses.
  • In Connecticut, North Haven Academy – A Paul Mitchell Partner School had a visit from their fire chief, who talked about what it was like that day. Future Professionals and staff paid $2 to wear red, white, and blue shirts and donated the money to the fire department.
  • In Michigan, Paul Mitchell The School – Sterling Heights offered free haircuts and styles to all servicemen and women on 9/11, including a group of local firefighters who came to the school in their fire truck.
  • In New Hampshire, Michael’s School of Hair Design and Aesthetics – A Paul Mitchell Partner School donated $400 to New England K-9 Search and Rescue League. Nancy Lyon, chairperson and organizer of the group, came to the school to do a presentation and live demonstration with her rescue dog, Haven.



In memory of the 9/11 victims who spent their last moments calling their loved ones to say “I love you” one last time, nearly every school invited Future Professionals and staff members to pull out their cell phones and call someone to say “I love you.”

“The spirit was high and the atmosphere was charged with compassion, love, and unity,” said Sherman Oaks School Director Stella Davis. “There were tears, hugs, and gratitude for the gifts of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”


Use Your Talents to Make a Difference

As a future or current salon professional, you have the unique talents, skills, and passion to make a difference for women in need. Jeri Linas, advisory board member for the National Cosmetology Association’s CUT IT OUT and the Salons Against Domestic Abuse Fund, shares three steps for using your talents to make a difference.

Step 1: Educate yourself about available resources. Organizations like Look Good Feel Better provide the tools for teaching salon professionals how to work with those who suffer from the appearance-related effects of cancer treatments. Educate yourself about what’s available to those who need assistance. For example, Look Good Feel Better offers classes and videos that teach survivors how to apply makeup without the risk of infection or how to wear wigs, scarves, turbans, and accessories.

Step 2: Share your education. Once you’re educated, educate someone else! Know what’s available and be ready to refer people for services. If you’re not comfortable sharing information verbally, you can make written information available in your place of business. For example, you could display Look Good Feel Better’s poster and brochures at your service desk or community notices board. You could display CUT IT OUT’s posters and safety cards to let people know where to find help for victims of domestic abuse. Sharing information helps your guests and shows them what you and your organization care about. Research shows that people like to be involved with products and companies that have a cause behind them. Let your community and clientele know that you care about these issues and are willing to put the information out.

Step 3: Implement your education. Once you know what’s available, you may want to get personally involved as a volunteer. For example, you could contact the American Cancer Society and train to become a Look Good Feel Better volunteer. How about adopting your local women’s shelter and offering to provide gift certificates for moms and kids or some of their “wish list” items? Every shelter needs products like shampoo and conditioner.

As a salon professional, you have the power to influence how people look and feel about themselves. Your guests place their trust in you; wouldn’t they listen when you say, “I know your aunt just survived breast cancer. Did you know that there’s a program that would make her feel really good about herself?”

Dora Kwak, Class of 2009
Trend Setters College of Cosmetology – A Paul Mitchell Partner School

Dora Kwak is not your typical Future Professional, and her nomination for this newsletter wasn’t typical, either. An anonymous e-mail “supported by most of the Future Professionals at our schooI” introduced her as “probably the nicest person you will ever meet. She rarely asks for help but is always the first to help someone. She goes out of her way for everyone here at the school. If you are looking for someone who lives up to your Be Nice (Or Else!) philosophy, then take a minute to get to know this person.”

A month later, another e-mail came from a man named Andy Siedlinski. He was in line at a department store when his debit card was declined. Andy wrote, “This lady who I did not know handed the cashier her debit card and said, ‘Here, put it on this.’ I left there truly believing that there are nice people after all.”

Dora graduated from cosmetology school 25 years ago and opened her own salon. When it was destroyed by fire a few years later, she left the industry and spent the next two decades working in customer service, raising her family, and volunteering in her community. With her children grown and her truck driver husband frequently gone, the 56-year-old grandmother returned to her lifelong dream.

Thinking she was “too old for this,” Dora scheduled (and canceled) two appointments to visit Trend Setters College of Cosmetology. Finally, she took the plunge. “After my first week in Core, someone made a comment about my age,” she recalls. “That whole weekend, I struggled with the decision to come back.” Fortunately, Dora confided her fears to two friends at school and they convinced her to stay. “If it wasn’t for the circle of people around me every day, I don’t know if I would have made it through.”

After her rocky start, Dora threw herself into every school activity: Be Nice (Or Else!) Team, Design Team, Student Council, Go Green Team, Phase Two, Core mentor, and big sister to three Future Professionals. She recently did hair and makeup for the Twilight Convention’s Vampire Ball and started a production company with another Future Professional. After school, she hopes to go into teaching and open an exclusive men’s day spa.

Dora’s advice for Future Professionals: “Over the last few years, my mother’s health has declined because her mind has not been active. I don’t intend to let that happen. You’re never too old to continue learning. Just don’t close the doors to it.”


“This is Dora’s second time starting cosmetology school and the timing was definitely right this time. Dora is really in her zone with her passion for the industry and desire to help others. One of her goals is to help the underprivileged with her cosmetology license, and I know she will.”

Gianni Brocato, Class of 2008
Hair – A Paul Mitchell Partner School
(now Paul Mitchell The School – St. George)

Gianni Brocato literally grew up in the beauty industry. As the son of award-winning stylist, author, and salon owner Sam Brocato, Gianni attended fashion shows, photo shoots, and hair events from an early age. However, his decision to join the industry did not come automatically. After attending Fashion Industries High School in New York City, Gianni experimented in fashion design, painting, photography, and music for a few years. At age 20, he attended a Utah wilderness retreat to rediscover himself and what he wanted to do.

“I heard they were opening a new Paul Mitchell School nearby,” Gianni says. “Growing up around hair shows, I always looked up to all the Paul Mitchell crew. I’d see someone and think, ‘That guy’s so cool,’ and it would be Angus Mitchell or Robert Cromeans. It just made sense ending up at a Paul Mitchell School.”

Gianni describes himself as someone who could never sit still in class, and that made high school difficult. At his Paul Mitchell School, he loved the positive attitude, the focus on basics, and the Multiple Intelligence teaching style. With a newfound love for learning, Gianni joined the Design Team and Take Home Team and was part of the student show at Paul Mitchell’s Gathering 2008. After graduation, he completed the Vidal Sassoon Comprehensive Course in Cutting in Santa Monica, California.

Gianni currently works at Sam Brocato Salon in New York City. He hopes to become a top New York stylist but for now he says, “I’m trying to be the best assistant in the world, and I’ll do anything it takes. I would love to do editorial and platform work one day, but right now as a younger person I would like to focus on what’s important.”

Gianni’s advice for Future Professionals:
  • If you want to do hair in New York, start by being the best assistant you can. Put in a couple of years and look up to what the industry greats have already done.
  • When you get out of high school, forget about high school! Don’t get yourself depressed if it wasn’t fun or you didn’t do well.


“Gianni came out of the Paul Mitchell School just the way I know Paul Mitchell himself would have expected and how John Paul DeJoria and Winn Claybaugh have worked to ensure. Gianni is definitely one of the future’s professionals. He is naturally talented and passionate, but his experience at Paul Mitchell School was truly transformational. Thank you to the entire JPMS family, and most important, congratulations, Gianni! I love you!”

Each month we feature a new video made by a Paul Mitchell Future Professional. To have your video considered, post it on YouTube and send the link to George Morales (Gmorales562@aol.com). Please note: Videos that use unauthorized copyrighted music will not be considered for Video of the Month.


This month’s video was conceived by Future Professional Gabrielle Hennessey, photographed by staff member Paloma Dean-St. Germain (both from Paul Mitchell The School – Virginia), and produced by Paloma and her husband, James Dean (Xplicitly Graphic).

“I made this video for two reasons,” Gabrielle says. “The first was ignorance, and the second was Winn Claybaugh, dean and cofounder of Paul Mitchell Schools. Coming from a place of love, kindness, and motivation, he has helped to break the industry stereotypes and should be recognized and respected for doing so.”

“The Paul Mitchell culture and schools are changing the way hairstylists are viewed,” Paloma adds. “For years, the industry has been stereotyped as a place for high school dropouts, ditzy women, and homosexual men. It’s been seen as a job, not a career. Thanks to Winn Claybaugh, we have been given a chance to break these stereotypes and build a culture and community of people who come from all different backgrounds.” CLICK HERE to watch Gabrielle's video.

Keeping It Clean!

Paul Mitchell Future Professionals were among the thousands of volunteers at sites throughout California for Coastal Cleanup Day on September 19, 2009. Future Professionals from Paul Mitchell The School – Santa Barbara picked up more than 40 pounds of trash from their nearby beaches. Green Team members from the Cao Institute of Aesthetics – A Paul Mitchell Partner School helped out in the Alhambra area. “It was so much fun and we learned a lot,” said Cao Academy Director Peggy Lee.
