I went and got my hair colored today and of course I love it. The staff and students are extremely professional and knowledgeable.

They got some mighty fine bubbies over in them parts

I went to the Paul Mitchell School where Haddie colored my hair, trimmed it & gave me a gel manicure. It all came out great. Haddie communicated well, was very professional and friendly. All this & under $50. What a deal. Im definitely going back. Anyone needing any beauty services should go to Paul Mitchell School in Portsmouth, dont forget to ask for Haddie.Kim B.

So I had Ray Ray doing blonde highlights . She is incredibly delicate and quite careful . I respected her dedication and attention to detail. The only thing I would have changed was the “money maker “ which is a highlight front piece. In her defense it was the first time applying this technique. It needed to be broken up instead of a solid blonde strip . However I have a darkening shampoo. Upon arriving home I applied it, instantly fixing and darkening this blonde streak into a soft light honey/ sand look . So overall I would highly recommend her as she is learning quickly & is clearly dedicated to her technique .

Do not waste your money on this program. My girlfriend went here and was taken advantage of every day. I went in for one of her tests which was only supposed to take an hour and after waiting an hour for her teacher to show up I still sat in the chair for another 2 hours. Teachers are very unprofessional and have no clue what they’re doing. Most of them don’t even have the proper licensing to be teaching. All I heard was horror stories everyday about how they talk to you and how they treat you. At the end you do get the certification to move on but they will make you rethink cosmetology as a career

A fantastic experience. Was very happy with the work Julia did along with the guidance of Linda. 100% the best haircut Ive ever received. Julia should be proud!! If you want to offer your hair up for practice or just want a new do, then please stop by here. Top tier students and staff.

Ashley has been so great! I came in this morning to get my hair did before a wedding& shes been fantastic! Shes fast & thorough and just an all around awesome person. Shes going to do great things. Also everyone has been great & glad they got me in at short notice. Thank you Paul Mitchell school! Second time and Ill definitely return

Granddaughter got her hair trimmed today.

If I could give 0 stars I would. I went in to get my roots done. They changed the plan on me to even up the color. Long story short my hair got so burned off that I now have to spray my hair down until it grows back. I ended up having to dye my hair back to my natural color because I was too scared to put any more bleach in it. They tried blaming me because I had done my hair at home for years and years. I never had this problem doing it myself. They burned my hair off at the new growth after having bleach on it for 3 hours!!! If you want your hair done correctly and not ruined then go to a professional. Definitely not worth the $130 they charged me and refused to refund!!!! Worst. Place. Ever!!!!!

Ive spent tons of money at top end salons but came out completely disappointed. I dont know how this school does it, but whatever theyre doing,,they need to keep doing it. The stylists are clearly well trained, professional, great listeners and special. I walked out of my appointment glowing. Highly recommend the services and this school.

I had 2 great students! The moment I walked through the door, I was greeted by my hair dresser. They did a fabulous drop washing, blow drying, and flat ironing my hair. I have long, thick, curly hair and they were gentle combing it out and took their time getting it silky smooth. I hope I have enough time to squeeze in a facial or manicure! Thank you for a professional, quality & relaxing experience!

I got a Cut, Root touch-up & Partial highlights by student Madison & I loved the end result!Thank you, I will be back soon💁‍♀️

Great haircuts, great price!I moved to NH three years ago from out of state but continued traveling home to get my hair cut at a trusted salon. Until this year, when I discovered the school, and I travel no longer!I have wavy hair that I like to switch up between short and medium length, with a low-maintenance, layered cut that encourages my natural wave. I like a cute cut, but also pretty, and somewhere between modern and classic. It can be difficult to cut properly because of its wave and thickness, nor do I always like the style that some stylists have cut it in before.So when I saw a friend with a similar hair type rocking an AMAZING new cut, and she told me it was from a student at The School, I was convinced to give them a try. I loved the haircut I got from the student (Rachel Starr Davis), and made sure to go back for another one before she graduated, which also turned out perfect. Im not surprised that she has already landed a great job for after graduation - shes clearly very talented. She recommended a newer student for my next appointment, so I absolutely plan on coming back.Its insane that these great cuts are only $11, because they are the same or better than $35-$45 cuts Ive gotten at much fancier salons. Plus you get the whole treatment, with washing and a blow out and everything. These students are very professional, and they check with their knowledgeable teachers every step of the way - with a haircutting plan at the beginning, and with the final result at the end, as well as during the process if they have any questions or need a little advice. I always feel confident in being treated well there and having a great result. Im never going anywhere else!Sometimes cuts take more than an hour, these are students after all so they occasionally trade speed for accuracy, so beware when you schedule that you dont need to rush off to an urgent appointment right after.

I have always come to the school for my hair needs. Been coloring hair by them and it’s always a good experience (new owner). So the school is under new ownership! Give it another chance- so much has changed!

I was greeted with smiles from the front end Staff as I walked off the elevator. My stylist today is Nicole and she is wonderful. Shes a great stylist! If you need to go to a salon come here and ask to have Nicole as your stylist. You wont be disappointed.

I love the environment they have in the school. I am a student here, Ive been going here since November 2013. I love all of the staff members, they are super nice and super friendly. All the students here are so talented and do an amazing job! They always make sure that the client is happy with their hair no matter what! If you are nervous about coming here because we are a school, you shouldnt be! You are in good hands and you wont pay an arm and a leg, the prices are very reasonable. So come on in (:

I have been coming here for the past 4 months and its been a great experience.Great environment and great professionals to be. I love my girl Rachel Starr, who soon will be graduating.PM products are really good and the services are very affordable.Definitely recommend!

Great training for students. Get the right student and stick with it, love my girl. Supervision is adequate and PM products are worth it. Been a client many years and huge improvement when PM took over.

Paul Mitchell The School has been my go-to salon for two-three years and they never disappoint! Educated young professionals with fantastic guidance and leaders to learn from! Always a positive experience here.

Literally turned my girlfriends hair blue. She was there literally all day. Instead of someone trying to help they tried telling her how good it looks because they wanted to close and go home. No offer to come back at later date or an apology for the disaster of turning her hair blue. Dont waste your time or money here.

Ive been here a couple times and both have been good! Prepare to spend longer than you would at a regular salon, but the future professionals do a great job (and are checked by a licensed person).

Love coming here! They do such a nice job and Im always satisfied with my hair when I leave. I always recommend to my friends that they come here.

I went to the school on 22 March for a hair color and ended up with a black hair (my hair was light-dark reddish brown before) and my total cost for that day was $68 including tip. I went back on 29 March to CORRECT the color and my total cost for that day was $241 including tip.The guy at the register basically said that this is the chance I take for coming to the school. I did have an $18 hair treatment and a $15 facial that was included in the $241 bill but I think that I should NOT have been charged to correct the color and my bill should have been at last $60 less.In short, if you think that the school is cheaper think again because you may have to have something done two or three times before they get it right ....

I have been going to The Paul Mitchel School in Portsmouth for the past 2 years now. They have proven to be better than an established salon that charges double or triple the price. The staff is friendly, I have never had any mistakes made except for maybe something minor and they always strive to correct any errors to keep their clients happy. They are all good students and know what they are doing. Its worth the visit and it will keep you coming back based off their preformance.

I have been coming here for over a year and its the best cut in town and the best price for sure. So glad I found it!A very happy customer.

I am so sorry to offer such a lousy experience. Not only did the stylist say nothing...she was beyond nervous. 90 minutes of torture. Im really not sure why someone would consider getting a cut here? If it was free, and they were HONEST with the facts that the students are not confident. Worst $12 spent.

This place carries high quality product line es and there are always multiple teachers on the floor to ensure the work or any chemical formulations are done with accuracy. You can get first quality services for a bargain plus youre helping students learn and hone their technique.

I have been here a few times and have gotten decent service for the price. I will not be going back and I do not recommend going after my last visit. I asked for a trim and told the stylist that I have gotten a cut here before and that they chopped off more hair than I asked. She told me not worry they are just doing a slight trim. The student was watching as the teacher cut my hair. She ended up cutting way too much off and it came out uneven, which she did not notice until I pointed it out. She corrected it and it is now even but a lot shorter than I asked for. I was very disappointed with the end result and would rather spend the few extra dollars for a more professional service.

I absolutely love this place. Its the only place I go to get my hair done. I recommend it to everyone!!!

I came here looking for an affordable, decent haircut I left here with a stunning haircut and my day and spirits unexpectedly uplifted by some of the awesomest future hair therapists. In all, I met three gals, Moriah my main girl (who can light up a room with her dimpled smile) and her fellow classmate -- an adorable curly-haired blonde young lady, along with their teacher. I came looking for a drastic change late into the afternoon when most of us are looking forward to go home. We learned alot about each other through friendly dialogue and somewhere along the line, these girls felt like family. They could have rushed me through, but instead they took extra care of me, gave me a high end haircut with heartwarming hospitality that I will not soon forget. I am grateful for the opportunity to have met some of the girls at this downtown Portsmouth school; they are going to go on to do what we are all in search of everyday -- to make us feel better about ourselves when we needed it the most. Thank you to the gals of Paul Mitchell school of Portsmouth!

Friendly staff and great service. I recommend this place for clients and students and will be back for services for myself as well as my children.

Great experience. Kiely did a great job on my color!

Always a great experience! Super friendly and knowledgeable students and staff

If I could give you 0 stars I would. Disgustingly dirty. Staff was a nightmare. Students look to be abused by the staff. Absolutely disgusted.

I came here on the recommendation of a friend to ombré dye my dark brown hair to pastel pink, and while Im glad I did I definitely got what I paid for. My stylist was a delight to work with (very important when youre in the chair for over four hours), and everyone was great about answering all my questions on how to maintain my new do, but the quality wasnt the best. The bleach job was inconsistent, leaving a light brown streak running through the pink on the right front side (super visible, ugh), and she managed to bleach above the point I wanted in several spots. I also wish I hadnt let them talk me into going full hot pink with the idea that it would fade to pastel. I knew I needed to go more vivid for it to work properly, but I wouldnt go so far in the future. After living with it for a few months its faded unevenly, so theres still hot pink in back and underneath, even with attempts to wash just that section and speed up the process.Tl:dr Im glad I came here to finally take the plunge on a crazy dye job without paying salon prices, but Im not jazzed about the quality. Im not totally sure if I would do this again.

Amazing school, highly recommend it. The staff are great and the culture of Paul Mitchell is really great.

I got the most awesome balayage-- highly recommend The Paul Mitchell School!

Always super friendly and communicative. Been getting hair cuts since I moved to the area and today am in for my first color!

Lively atmosphere and excellent service!

Absolutely Amazing Experience.....
