Paul Mitchell Schools

Good evening my name is Jamia Lawton Ive been calling every day like the last two weeks to speak to someone in corporate reply Mr. solutions about Paul Mitchell Fort Lauderdale that I am currently attending. I was suspended this morning for helping an Adaptive student who ASKED for my help as I was clocking out . The document the advisor wanted me to sign I refused because the statement says I disrupted a student during a service when really the student disrupted me and ask me for help . I proceeded to help her verbally and was told by a learning leader not to , when were taught to help from day 1. I never took over her service . Theres a lot of things going on behind closed doors that I want to bring awareness of stories of being treated unfairly rules of being broken staff or gossiping with other students causing drama. The staff is barely teaching things we need to know the curriculums are all over the place. staff is aware of the students are complaining about coloring services cutting services and formulations yet we had one big class hands on one time after being told they will put more effort into being hands on. People on the floor is lost most of the time when it comes to coloring services and we resort to eachother . Theres 4 people in office and majority of the time we have 1 learning leader on the floor to try to tend us all . When I begin Paul Mitchell August 16 I came in with open arms to learn and be able to share knowledge . We were taught to helpif we see our peers struggling or if they ask . Today I got shut down infront of a client as well as the student by Ms .Jackie . All because I did a flawless blowdry and the student asked me how to achieve the look on her client I verbally told her what I did and the learning leader told me not to help . She then walk away as well not providing her help the student just asked me for . Some get in trouble for helping other students when Paul Mitchell teach to help when someone needs help others dont . Ive met with Miss Frank the Director have also met with Ms. Wanda the advisor .A few weeks ago Miss Frank made a comment to a few students that me and the group of girls that were coloring hair that we had bad energy. I said something to Ms.Frank about it today and then she tried to put me in out office when I asked why would she make such a negative comment to other F.Ps. Miss Jackie the barber gossip is a lot with the F.Ps as well and everybody just repeat Whats being said. Im a great student it shows in ALL my work and the way I am amongst other students . I get faced almost everyday for always being so willing to help . I have great attendance I give great customer service and they give me issue every time a student ask me for help . Paul Mitchell Fort Lauderdale the students rely on each other for help most of the time . Meaning the teachers are either confusing us with our formulas .So sometimes we decide to lean on each other for help and that shouldnt be a issue that I constantly face . Now staff find it as an issue and we are being told not to help each other. The staff is so discouraging to not just me but a lot of the students. we had at least five students drop within the same week for the same issue not being taught correctly . I feel like Im being targeted sometimes I feel like its because of the color of my skin. I just want my license and be able to finish this miserable journey that started off as a dream. Its nothing wrong with refreshing the learning leaders memory and making things more hands on in class . We have a whole new app that lots of us have trouble using . Majority of the students are on the phone during class because the lesson is all over . Im almost at my finish line and it feel like Im being held back for being Me . I have 400 hours left and its like they dont want to see me win . They as so discouraging , all the students feel the energy , I really need to speak to someone .

A previous student of PM skin care program in Pasadena. I have never seen this much racism and dishonesty. From my experience I have a disability, I was told by a teacher due to my disability I would never graduate and make it. Well I did graduate so jokes on her. But specifically Peggy is the problem she is the dean of the school. Everytime there is a problem is she leaves the country. Seems pretty sketchy when all of your excuses Im out of the country I cant help. Also, after paying tuition, including our own products that are for practice on ourselves. The school provides us with products to practice as well and use on clients. Later on through the program we were told we cannot use any products the school offered on our clients we have to use our personal cant we purchased then we were also told to bring in our own wax to learn how to wax. The school is beyond messed up. I truly think they are stealing our money for their vacations and she has no care about the students. As a principal/ Dean of the school you would think your students are your priority. Also, you will never have a consistent teacher because they either quit or get fired every week so there is no consistent teaching. So basically my point is, do not give them any money or any time there are wonderful schools out there to learn from, but this is not one of them. As a student pay you deserve a lot more than what they give you. Also they hire criminals and people with sexual harassment records. Teachers have put hands on students. And to top it off they have so many lawsuits against them for the exact same thing. This is the Paul Mitchell located in Pasadena.
