Okay so 10/10 for Macy (Macey)? Who cut my hair. She was great, super sweet, worked with me and made sure I was happy along the way. Had to get something fixed before I left. Macy made sure I was happy along the way, taking pictures so I could see the back and make sure it looked how I want. Now the teacher(?) Kiya, HER I have beef with. She came in and interrupted where she didn't need to. She told Macy to NOT take pictures, not show me until it was done to "her vision" like excuse me it's MY HAIR. Macy did fantastic, Kiya really should've just buzzed off, she was a nuisance and a hinderance. Very happy with how my hair looks, ALL thanks to Macy and ONLY Macy.

Literally the worst experience in my life, if cosmetology school is anything like this school I see why they’re saying people don’t need cosmetology school to do hair! I’m not even going to get in full details of the unprofessional at this school but do yourself a huge favor & go to a community college! & I see in the reviews administration giving 5 stars 😂 if only there was an option for no stars lol

nun ya

DO NOT ENROLL HERE. speaking on behalf of all students, please go to Wake Tech or Aveda. Cassandra and Elton, the owners, have no background in cosmo. when i toured Elton told me that he was a licensed professional. i am not the only one he has told that to. students pay almost $20,000 and get cheap kits that break within the first month. students do not get to use real products because they “never have any.” students have to “steal” products without “teachers” knowing. students PAY tuition to use products and they are not allowed to and the owners do not purchase products and won’t no matter how many times students beg them to. you will have to purchase your own bleach, color, conditioner, shampoo, etc. students are required to do manicures and pedicures but the schools nail polish is from the dollar store and is so old and expired it has solidified in the containers and crusted over. you will also have to purchase your own hands and feet to practice on because the ones the provide not usable and are probably over 15 years old. you are coming to school to be taught, right? well, then don’t come here. you have no guidance throughout any of the program. they, Mr. J and Renee specifically, will sit with students gossiping for 5 hours straight. we’re supposed to ask for help, right? wrong. asking for help is apparently disrespectful as we are interrupting the instructors while they do their own hair or have students do their hair and nails. every. single. day. the temperature is 74 degrees constantly and students BEG for it to be cooled down, but Elton refuses. clients ask for it to be cooler but again, they refuse. the products used on clients are old and expired. like, seriously old and disgusting. bottom line, if you want to be bullied, harassed, cry daily, be suicidal, get yelled at, and lose passion for cosmetology, come to Paul Mitchell Raleigh. if you would like to have a positive experience where you learn and are taught and valued, GO SOMEWHERE ELSE

I wish zero stars was possible. I moved to the areas recently and have always loved going to beauty schools, giving students real experience. I am so ashamed of the behavior I saw. These poor students are treated terribly. The young lady doing my hair burst into tears because her “teachers” never came to her aid after she repeatedly asked. I calmed her down and told her I trusted her and to do her best and I will be happy with whatever outcome. She did a wonderful job. I asked the name of a specific “teacher” and was told her name was Lakisha. I have never seen a more disrespectful “teacher” who degrades her students that turn to her for help. Please, do not send your children there. After seeing all of these reviews I will be contacting Paul Mitchell personally. This school needs to be cleared of it’s staff and franchisees.
