At Paul Mitchell the School Birmingham, we prepare our students - we call them Future Professionals - to pass the Alabama State Board of Cosmetology exams and so much more! Whether you choose to create fashion behind a chair in the salon; own your own salon or spa business; or opt for the excitement of a career in fashion, film or TV, Paul Mitchell The School Birmingham will help you reach your artistic, technical, and lifestyle goals. We strive to go beyond the 'typical' cosmetology education by evoking all levels of the industry from business management skills, to retailing, to time management.
