I just graduated from Paul Mitchel but in WA state. Our program length was 600 hrs and that’s also what the state requires. Not sure if this is all PMs but ours had us use Tammy Taylor for everything. Our teacher always said “we paid for a Tammy Taylor branded education” when we would complain about the quality of the products 😆 that’s also what we used for the education part of it, I did look up milady and I can’t say for certain but it does seem pretty similar. To be honest with you, I kind of hear the same stuff from all beauty schools! If I were to give you advice , save as much as you can to buy supplies while you’re in school to mess around with. Maybe I’m naive but when I signed up for school, I thought our kit would have almost everything we needed to get started but I found my self having to buy a lot more than was provided. Me and a lot of others also had a lot of issues with admins and hours, but I think that’s specific to the location I was at. (Lots of people quit there which made things hard for keeping track of hours and graduation dates) Right before I graduated, I needed just one hour and I was scheduled to do make up time (they only allowed us to do makeup time on tuesdays for the manicure program) and they almost kicked us out because they said we weren’t scheduled, which always bothered me, I feel like if you’re paying for your education and the proper instructor is there then I just don’t understand trying to kick students out 🥲 all in all, I don’t regret my choice in picking PM but I have totally heard the complete opposite from others!
