Discover a Paul Mitchell School at Our Fall Open House

From coast to coast, the nationwide network of Paul Mitchell Schools will open our doors and welcome prospective students and their families to our Fall 2026 Open House event. If you or someone you know wonders what it would take to become a hairstylist, barber, esthetician, nail technician, or makeup artist, this is your chance to visit the campus near you and explore the unique culture and career-focused education offered by a Paul Mitchell School.

With a theme of “The Future Looks Beautiful,” the 2026 Fall Open House welcomes every guest to enjoy a VIP visit. Participants will have an actual classroom experience, learn about scholarship and financial options, and enjoy special event activities.

Paul Mitchell Schools’ Dean and Cofounder Winn Claybaugh says, “This is an exciting time in the education world, as many powerful, influential people are shining the spotlight on the trades, which of course includes the professional beauty industry. I was honored to highlight this important conversation on a recent podcast with Mike Rowe, known for his TV show, Dirty Jobs, and for his Congressional committee testimony about the need to strengthen technical and career education. For the last 25 years, Paul Mitchell Schools have successfully trained thousands of future beauty and barbering professionals. Join us for Open House and see how you can be part of our ongoing story.”
