Last week I had the opportunity to get a haircut from Paul Mitchell the School of Salt Lake City.  After I arrived I only had to wait a few minutes until my stylist came to meet me. Her name was Aubray. She was a very nice sweet girl. I have to admit, my favorite part of haircuts is getting my hair washed.  I love the scalp massage, it is so relaxing.  Aubray definitely did a fantastic job.  The school even promises you will receive a 5-minute scalp massage with every haircut or your haircut is free!  I was a little nervous having my haircut done by someone in training.  My hair sometimes has a hard time styling so I’m usually very particular about who cuts my hair.  Since this is a school, all of the students have to have their teachers check their work at every step of the process.  This usually makes appointments a lot longer than just a normal haircut. My haircut lasted about an hour and a half.  But because there work is constantly checked you don’t have to worry much about them messing up.  Before they do any cutting their teacher has to approve of exactly what they do.  One of the reasons my haircut took a little extra long was because Aubray was having a hard time getting my hair to style exactly the right way. I was very appreciative that she took the time to make sure it was cut right so that I would be able to style it the way I wanted it styled.   For me, how I can really tell if it’s a good haircut is by how easily I can style it the next day.  I was very happy the next day with how well my hair styled.  Although my haircut took a long time I think Aubray did a great job cutting it and I am very pleased with the results.

Aubray was a stylist in Phase two at Paul Mitchell.  There are two different phases. Phase one and phase two.  Phase one is all of the students studying at Paul Mitchell. Phase two is for a select number of students. After they have earned enough working hours they can take extra tests and apply for phase two. So phase two students have worked really hard to get where they are and they are exceptionally good students. They get to learn and work in more of an environment of an actual salon.  They get to make their haircuts more of their own and make their own decisions.  I was very pleased with my experience with Paul Mitchell and Aubray as my stylist.
