Paul Mitchell The School Las Vegas Wins 2025 Golden School Award for Community Involvement

Paul Mitchell The School Las Vegas has been nationally recognized as the 2025 Golden School Award Winner for Community Involvement by the American Association of Career Schools (AACS). The award was presented at the AACS Annual Conference in Miami Beach, where industry leaders gathered to celebrate the programs shaping the future of beauty education. 

The Community Involvement Award recognizes beauty, barber, and wellness schools that make a significant impact on their communities through volunteer work and charitable giving. This prestigious award highlights the heart of our school culture: giving back, showing up, and using the power of beauty to uplift our community.

A National Recognition of Our Culture of Giving

Paul Mitchell The School Las Vegas stood out for our outstanding commitment to serving the Las Vegas community. Through hands-on service, charity events, local partnerships, and industry-supported outreach, our Future Professionals and team consistently go beyond the classroom, using their talent to create real impact in the lives of others.

Whether we’re supporting local nonprofits, volunteering at community events, helping raise money for national charities, or providing beauty services that restore confidence and joy, community isn’t something we do — it’s who we are.

This recognition is a testament to the incredible leadership behind our campus: Franchise Owners Margaret Cromeans, Annie Safadi, and Ed Safadi, and School Directors Annie Safadi and Liberty Elmer. Their dedication and vision drive our culture of service and excellence.

Paul Mitchell The School Tulsa and Paul Mitchell The School San Diego Named Marketing Innovation Finalists

This recognition comes in an incredible year for our Paul Mitchell Schools network. Two of our sister campuses, Paul Mitchell The School Tulsa and Paul Mitchell The School San Diego, were named finalists in the highly competitive Marketing Innovation category. This category honors schools that demonstrate outstanding creativity, brand excellence, and strategic outreach.

Together, the Las Vegas, Tulsa, and San Diego schools showcase the strength, unity, and innovation that define Paul Mitchell Schools nationwide. Our network continues to set the bar for what beauty education can achieve.

What This Award Means for Our Future Professionals

The Golden School Award for Community Involvement isn’t just an award for our school leaders — it’s for every Future Professional who donated their time, talent, and heart to make Las Vegas a better place. 

This award recognizes the importance that our school places on supporting and engaging in our community. With opportunities for hands-on training through community-service experiences; a culture built on compassion, teamwork, and leadership; and a school that values purpose as much as skill, we hope that each Future Professional graduates not only with strong technical abilities but also with the confidence, empathy, and community-driven mindset that define the best in our industry.

Looking Forward
