Upcoming Event

As an update for the rapidly approaching future, and following the success of our previous fashion shows, Paul Mitchell the School Normal will be going black and white...even more so, with our new hair show to be held at the Bloomington Country Club this 4th of April. Whilst we will be making the show our visual center stage, our evening will be geared towards the benefit of a number of foundations, including the Larry King Cardiac Foundation, and the Leeza Gibbons Memory Foundation. A minimal donation of 40 dollars will secure an invitation, with the option of a 300 dollar charge for a table of 8. Guests are required to wear black and white attire, and we must insist that all who wish to attend purchase tickets by a deadline of April 1st. Our most sincere thanks to the people and organizations whom have donated so kindly to our silent auction, which will be held throughout the evening's festivities. But our school, ever ambitious, is always ready to accept further donations, and those interested are encouraged to contact Courtney Zell at (309) 862-3400 ext. 702 for donation instructions, as well as ticket information.

It is the hallmark of our embraced culture in the Paul Mitchell Schools to give back as generously as we can, and we are striving further to involve as many as humanly possible in our efforts. So please, come and enjoy the evening of good fun, generosity, and looking gorgeous :)

There is a tendency to think that what we  see in the present moment we will continue to see.  We forget how often in this century we have been astonished by the sudden crumbling of institutions, by extraordinary changes in people's thoughts, by unexpected eruptions of rebellion against tyrannies, by the quick collapse of systems of power that seemed invincible.

To be hopeful in bad times is not just foolishly romantic.  It is based on the fact that human history is a history not only of cruelty, but also of compassion, sacrifice, courage, and kindness.  What we choose to emphasize in this complex history will determine our lives.

If we see only the worst, it destroys our capacity to do something.  If we remember those times and places - and there are so many - where people have behaved magnificently, this gives us the energy to act, and at least the possibility of sending this spinning top of a world in a different direction.

And if we do act, in however small a way, we don't have to wait for some grand utopian future.

The future is an infinite succession of presents, and to live now as we think human beings should live, in defiance of all that is bad around us, is itself a marvelous victory. - Howard Zinn

Today at Paul Mitchell The School Normal four kids traveling to unite people for a cause came to our school.  This is them, and we thank them for opening our eyes to a cause that has touched each of us individually to make a change.
