My Personal Advice.... PM STUDENT by Jasmine M. at InsiderPages

Contributor at Insider Pages

I am a student at PM and I have met alot of people who have horrible stories about their past experiences. I seem to notice it is alway day school that has complaints. I personally go to night school and I have a regular cliental of about 30 people, actually we all have regular clients at night school.

I am not trying to talk down on the day students but they are alot younger and seem to not care. I have had to come in at 5 and clean color they messed up on clients so many times.

If you want to come in I honestly suggest coming in after 5pm!! We are alot more mature and everyone of us has jobs and we are serious about becoming professional stylist.

Miami Herald and Company

by EricatheEditor at Citysearch

A freind of mine in San Diego called me at the Miami Herald about this issue of bullying at Paul Mitchell the School San Diego. We worked together on the school paper together at the University of Miami. I think Robert Cromeans likes to beleive that he's such a big fish and can push people around with out a cause of action or challenge. In Miami we love people like this. I would love to meet the bold attorny who would bring a multimillion dollar suit against Paul Mitchell San Diego, its courupt management, and the mindless idiots that follow his lead. You have deep deep pocket Angus Mitchell and Roberto Cromeans. Mind your step. I can have a legion of University of Miami Alumni Attorneys at your door step manana. Know your opponent.

• Pros: none
• Cons: The Bullies of Paul Mitchell

$25,000.00 for Bullies?

by SanDiegoTribune at Citysearch

It doesn't really matter if the bullying s happening in the day program or the night program. Students are paying $25,000.00 to learn to become cosmetologists. The enviroment should be free from harrasment.

• Pros: none
• Cons: Getting bullied by Paul Mitchell the School.

Is it really that bad at Paul Mitchell the School San Diego.

by Envidiastar2010 at Citysearch

Thats funny because you see sometimes in the movies their salons are run by eleitist supermodles.. Its like if your not a super model you're out of place. I just find it intresting that so many people find that the Paul Mitchell has issues with bullies and harrasment. I would have expected better. This is also not the first place I've heard this about the school down town. I was planning to send my dughter there this summer. I'm having second thoughts now. I'll have to do some additional research and see what other schools are in the area. I think City College San Diego has a cosmetology program also. That is very sad to hear about PM the School San Diego.

• Cons: All the people complaining about Pual Mitchell San Diego?

The truth about Paul Mitchell the School.

by Stacy210 at Citysearch

Yeah,

I had a friend that went to school at the school in San Diego, Ca. She said the school was political and the teachers engaged regularly in group harasment of some of the "out" students. She said the teachers and faculty were unprofessional, eletist and snoby and it reflected in the work and attitudes of the students.

She completed the program and is in the process of paying back the $25,000. in loads incured while in attendance. She said she feels fortunate, some of the students have to restart the program if their attendance is not nearly perfect. Oh, she has also seen other less popular students ejected from the program with out reasonable cause because they did't bow down to the demanding, rude, tyranical management the lords over the establishment at Paul Mitchell the School San Diego. If the object, the are told to read the fine print. They can't even litigate. They are directed to mediation with the company. And when you sign the contract you better grin and bear it becase you are required the pay the $25,000.00 by law even if you don't finish the training or get a licence to practice cosmetology.

This is very sad and true of the school, Stacy.

• Pros: Hope they think you are popular enough.
• Cons: Feel bad if your not. $25,000.00 is a lot to be treated poorly for an enitre year.

Ne Pas Bein Mr. Cromeans. Shame on you.

by Milan2008 at Citysearch

I just found it odd that Paul Mitchells numer one business partner Robert Cromeans uses so many Animal furs and skins in his dress. I mean almost every garmet he wears has animial hides. Not just the belt and shoes, but also the hat, the chaps, the jacket and other exsessories as well. It seems to contradict the Paul Mitchells company mission of protecting the enviroments and the planet. I mean its almost like hes a walking bilboard for Sub Saharian African Animal Gaming. I can uderstand a few outfits but almost ever time you see him hes draped in a African Safari. Ne pas bein Mr. Cromeans. Shame on you.

Was not a great day at Paul Mitchell the school San Diego.

by Sexyislexi2008 at Citysearch

Robert Cromeans is something of a weirdo. I was at the Paul Mitchell in New York. I had a business appointment 3 pm that afternoon. When the stylist finaly came to get me for hair cut and style she was 35 minutes behind schedule. She had a whimsical attitude and proceeded dance me to the sink to wash my hair. The music was so loud too you could barely her yourself think. It seemed more like a night club for 20 somethings than a place for business people and executives. I jokingly asked the stylist If I could order a martini. She did not hear me as she was talking with the stylist at the sink behind her. She was also chewing gum, her hair was pink purple and black and was as big as a texas rodeo clown. Her make up was also over done like a circus performer. Her gum almost dropped into the sink while she was washing my hair. The worst incident was when the stylist across from her station dropped about a quart of bleach into her clients lap that she was using to do foils. The salon manager was visibly angry and shouted at the stylist to clean the mess up. Apparently she was new and was not supposed to be working with bleach in the first place. They ended up paying for the woman's clothes. After the manager was done with the stylist she screamed at the receptionist for about 10 minutes that he should have booked a more senior associate to do highlights. It looked as though the manager not only needed therapy but medication as well. After she was done with him I think the receptionist could have used a bit of therapy himself as he was visibly crying. They really need to rethink their target market and managment sceem if they want to attract upscale professional clients. I did not book a return appointment.
