I've been going to the Paul Mitchell school in Portsmouth for years. Color, cut or advice, results and treatment are consistently great! Services are inexpensive so I can afford generous tips as encouragement. All of the learners have excellent guidance. I'm never disappointed.

My Mom and I were visiting Portsmouth for the day. We both are over due for haircuts. I called ahead to make appointments for us. The student, Kate that cut my hair was lovely. She did an excellent job. The instructor checks the cut before you pay. I highly recommend them.
