Pride Never Ends at Paul Mitchell The School San Diego

Pride Never Ends at Paul Mitchell The School San Diego

As July comes to a close, we’re reflecting on a Pride season filled with color, creativity, and the reminder that individuality deserves to be celebrated all year long.

Pride Month is officially observed in June, and here in San Diego, the city’s world‑famous Pride Parade and Festival light up Hillcrest in July. But we know that the beauty of individuality, acceptance, and self‑expression can’t be captured in a single month — or even two.

That’s why Pride is part of who we are all year long — in our classrooms, on our clinic floor, and in the hearts of our Future Professionals and team members.

A Campus That Celebrates Authenticity

This Pride season, our school was bursting with color and creativity. From Pride-themed dress-up days to rainbow-inspired hairstyles and bold makeup looks, our Future Professionals celebrated self-expression in their own unique ways.

Whether it was glittering eyeliner, pastel-colored fades, or full rainbow braids, the message was clear:

This is a place where you can show up as your truest self.

At Paul Mitchell The School San Diego, no one has to shrink to fit in. Our Future Professionals and team members are encouraged to embrace who they are — because we believe diversity fuels creativity.

What We Stand For

Our school owner Margaret shared a quote this Pride season that perfectly captures the heart of our school’s mission:

“The trick is that as long as you know who you are and what makes you happy, it doesn’t matter how others see you.”

This belief is at the heart of everything we do. We don’t just teach techniques like precision haircuts, beautiful color applications, and esthetics — we also teach confidence, compassion, and the power of making others feel valued.

We are proud to be a beauty school where LGBTQIA+ students and allies feel safe, supported, and celebrated. When people feel truly free to be themselves, incredible artistry shines through.

Looking Back — and Moving Forward

As Pride Month in June and San Diego’s Pride festivities in July come to a close, we want to take a moment to reflect on what makes our school so special: our people.

Our mission hasn’t changed: To be a campus where every student can thrive, no matter who they are or how they identify.

We’re looking forward to more opportunities to celebrate diversity in the months ahead — not just during Pride, but every day. Because for us, Pride isn’t a single event or holiday. It’s a way of life.
