For “What’s The Big Idea,” Future Professionals and team members from all Paul Mitchell Schools were invited to submit a 2-minute video describing their Big Idea for an innovative product concept.
Congratulations to our 2020 What’s the Big Idea finalists – Future Professional Michelle Sitton of Paul Mitchell The School Houston-Webster and team members Michele McCleary of Paul Mitchell The School Richland and Kaitlyn Stepp of Paul Mitchell The School Greenville earned the opportunity to present their Big Ideas to Paul Mitchell Co-founder and Chairman John Paul DeJoria. One finalist will win the $5,000 grand prize and the chance for their idea to be the “next big thing” from John Paul Mitchell Systems.
Ten runners up will receive Paul Mitchell’s new top-of-the-line, state-of-the-art, Neuro tool kit valued at over $450:
This marked the fifth year of “What’s the Big Idea?” John Paul developed the contest in recognition of the tremendous talent in Paul Mitchell Schools.
