"I'm so excited to welcome Paul Mitchell the School Woodbridge to the Paul Mitchell family," Winn Claybaugh said, "Like every school in our network, the owners and staff share our common mission of doing so much more than merely producing beauty school graduates. We're out to change the beauty industry by making better human beings."

Staff members at Paul Mitchell Schools believe that education is an adventure and the learning experience should be fun. Each school is a learning community that provides future professionals with the opportunities to develop essential skills while exploring their talents, passion, and creativity.

Paul Mitchell Schools are also committed to making a difference in the world. Through their annual three month fundraising campaign, future professionals across the country have raised and donated over $6 million to charitable organizations in the last eight years. They've built homes with Habitat for Humanity; fed thousands of African orphans; and supported the victims of AIDS, breast cancer, homelessness, hurricanes, abuse, and hundreds of other causes. They've also formed student-run "Go Green Teams" to find ways to reduce, reuse, and recycle in their schools, and "Be Nice (Or Else!) Teams" to support their fellow students and local communities through a variety of programs and outreach activities. In addition, a portion of the cost of every student technical kits is donated to the American Forest Global ReLeaf Program to help replace American's trees.
