COVID-19 Resources
Our focus at Paul Mitchell Schools has been on the health and well-being of our entire school community. Our plans are guided by information disseminated by local, state and federal health officials, with additional guidance provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. As the situation around COVID-19 tends to change rapidly, we are ready to adjust safety measures and operations as needed. In the event of major changes, the school will communicate through email or text to all future professionals and leaders.
