Ladies and gentlemen, my time at the school has come to its close. The last of the original website team creators and writers has left the building for the last time as a future professional. The search for a new writer is ongoing, and I am certain someone will take up the torch; someone with a far better knack for these things than I have. But I wanted to leave behind me some little token of appreciation for this wonderful school, and where better than here; a literary joint effort begun with one of my greatest mentors about the greatest academic institution I have ever been a part of.
One of the first thoughts a lot of people have upon entering our school is the scale of it; the wide open floor freckled with stations, bright attentive color schemes, and a service desk coordinator you can’t help but smile at. Next the sounds and smells. Enticing hair products are never far away. And just sitting in the waiting area while the salon is in full swing is a sensory symphony of blow dryers, chit chat, walking tours, and beauty advice.
But what we the studious future professionals and respect-inspiring learning leaders see on closer inspection of the school…is a sense of family. The beauty industry is moving in that we no longer come to get our hair done exclusively out of necessity, but so too out of luxury. What could be more luxurious than spending a leisurely hour of pampering and decadence in the hands of the finest up-and-coming rockstars of the beauty industry? I have seen more happiness and satisfaction on the faces of clients and stylists here than I have anywhere else outside our doors. Imagine all that positive energy walking home at the end of a service or school day…
I believe in the magic of Paul Mitchell the School Normal. I was a convert two seconds after walking in, touring the school for the first time. I believed when I left…and I believe now.
So, for the last time, on this, my final proposal to everyone considering coming in to the school, I would like to say…what are you waiting for? : ) Make that call, take that tour…
And start believing.
