At the American Association of Cosmetology Schools (AACS) annual convention in November 2011, Modern Salon Media announced the results of their 2011 “Excellence in Education” program, recognizing leadership and best practices among cosmetology schools. Hundreds of entries were submitted, in eight categories ranging from marketing and placement to school culture. Finalists were determined in four classes based on school size or number of locations, and one overall honoree from all applicants was named for each category.

Paul Mitchell Schools was named the overall honoree in the Community category and a finalist in the Marketing Innovation, School Culture, The Next Level: Alumni/Advanced Education, and Facilities categories. Three individual Paul Mitchell Schools were named finalists in several categories:

• Paul Mitchell The School Esani was named a finalist in all 8 categories!
• Paul Mitchell The School Dallas: Technology, Culture, Placement, Beauty Changes Lives/Leadership
• Paul Mitchell The School Tysons Corner: Placement

“The larger we become with over 100 Paul Mitchell Schools, the more focused we become on providing a quality educational experience in all aspects, including topnotch facilities, exceptional curriculum, and a loving culture that changes the lives of our Future Professionals and staff,” said Paul Mitchell Schools Dean and Cofounder Winn Claybaugh. “I congratulate all the schools who are recognized by these awards, because we all know firsthand the intense commitment needed to be proud leaders in the beauty school business. The Community award is very special to us because it acknowledges the role our Paul Mitchell Schools play in making a difference on this planet. Yes, we are for profit but we are proud members of the Generosity Generation!”
