Bobbi's Student service
For Bobbi's student service I retouched his platinum card and foiled 7OR with 6 red color shots in the fringe and tail. Here's how it turned out!
Langley Fashion show
On Saturday the design team traveled to Langely High School. Every year The Marketing classes put together a huge fashion show for the community. There were 178 models who needed both hair and make up to go along with their theme. I did make up and it was so much fun! I got to meet so many amazing students! And the best part is my fiancé got to come and watch the show with me!
Rhiannons Hair
So my friend Rhi agreed to let me do her hair for my portfolio. She started with black hair. We did a full on platinum card then put 7O+8RO with orange color shots in the fringe, 6RR+6RO with red and orange color shots, and left the neckline platinum as well as a peak-a-boo. Here's how it turned out!

Smells Like Team Spirit

So this week I thought id fill you in on the various teams available at Paul Mitchell the School that you can participate in.

Design Team
This team is a admissions tool to recruit Prospective Future Proffessionals. We do hair and make up for fashion shows, parades and plays. We go to high schools for career fairs and also run day camps where high school students come, tour the school, and move through stations where we teach them to foil, cut, and roll perms.

Be Nice, or Else!
This team is based off of the book written by Wynn Claybaugh, Dean of Paul Mitchell schools. All events for Be Nice or Else are for charities and helping out the community. We hold cut-a-thons, princess nights, bake sales, and theme nights to help raise money for charity.

Student Council
Student Council is what you would think, Organizing events for students and raising funds for graduations, and other social events for students.

Take Home Team
This team teaches product knowledge classes to future professionals. We stock shelves, color bar, wash house and floor carts.

Green Team
This team focuses on the schools carbon footprint. They organize the recycling bins and drop the items off at the dump once a week.

Phase Two
This is the honors program, we have less time to perform service, charge more, and have special classes. Phase two members can also wear black and white.

Blogging Team
Last but not least, the blogging team we are an admissions tool to recruit prospective future Professionals. We write a blog every Wednesday about our experiences at the school to inform people about what its like to be a future professional here.

Here are the Two events ill be telling you about next week!

All About Ella!

This past week I sat down with my friend Gabriella Lopez. Ella is a graduate of Paul Mitchell The School Virginia, and I wanted to ask her a few questions about her experience at PMTS and what her next steps are as a graduate.

Q: What made you decide to persue cosmetology and enroll in Paul Mitchell the School Virginia?

Ella: Well I started pursuing Nursing but I really wasn’t feeling it. I'm a really creative person and I knew I wanted to do something with my hands, also being a girly girl I sort of gravitated toward hair. When I found PMTS Virginia I toured, felt its was perfect for me, and enrolled!

Q: What do you think you learned the most At PMTS Virginia?

Ella: Definitely good communication skills! There nothing that can make a haircut go more wrong than not understanding what your client wants. Communication is what's going to keep your clients happy and coming back to you.
Q: What is your favorite thing about Paul Mitchell?

Ella: The culture! The culture of Paul Mitchell is what keeps the staff and clients happy!

Q: What kept you motivated while in school?

Ella: Being able to learn hands on. It helped me visualize the end goal and what I was going to be doing for the rest of my life!

Q: Are you the coolest person ever?

Ella: Yes I am!

Q: If you could go back knowing what you know now and give yourself advice when you started what would it be?

Ella: GET UP AND GO TO SCHOOL!

Q: What are your goals now that’s you've graduated?

Ella: To get behind the chair and get busy!

Q: What are you doing to find a job now that you've graduated?

Ella: Looking everywhere and just getting my name out.

Q: Any last advice for prospective future professionals?

Ella: Check it out! Its an awesome place!
