Paul Mitchell The School Portsmouth

Join us at Paul Mitchell The School Portsmouth for a multifaceted education in cosmetology or cosmetology instructor training. Established in 2014, our cosmetology school in Portsmouth, NH, is just off Interstate 95 and Route 1 in the heart of the historic downtown district, where you’ll find incredible shopping and even better seafood. Join us from Dover, Rye, Hampton, Newmarket, Durham, and Seabrook to study minutes from the Piscataqua River and the Isles of Shoals. With Maine less than a mile north of our school and Massachusetts less than 20 miles south, we are also convenient for Future Professionals from those states. Ask us about our licensing reciprocity agreements with neighboring states.
