Great experience . Julia Dunn was very professional and provided a perfect hair cut😎👍
THANK YOU Addie. I wish you many, many wishes for a happy future. When you see Emily please tell her I was thinking about her
l asked for 2 inches off and she took 4 at least. Possibly 6. I left stunned. l have had wonderful experiences in the past. l still tipped but l think l just did not want to admit what she did. Will never again let a student cut my hair. l was post night shift and tired and should have watched her. l can barely…
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.
Jordan did a great job working around my cochlear implant on left side of my head and even the detail of my incision.
I love my experiences at the Paul Mitchell School.
It was a great experience getting my haircut by the student Sarah. Students are learning by Teachers were attentive and guiding her along the way to make sure that I was happy with the result. Price is great!
My hair stylist Z was amazing! She listened to what I wanted and delivered gorgeous results! She gave me highlights, a layered bob haircut, curtain bangs and a voluminous blowout! Highly recommend!
Went in for a haircut, Cheyenne was awesome!!
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.
Very organized and prompt service. Attentive staff and quality feedback from instructors to their students
Great place, talented teachers, diligent students, great results!
Kind caring and attention to detail
Eden was absolutely amazing yesterday! She is so professional and really knows how to carry on a conversation. I’m obsessed with her overall talent!
The student, Harmony Perkins, who worked on my hair was very knowledgeable, presented herself well and conversed with what my needs were. Harmony gave me a very good haircut and was very conscientious. Ruth Donovan
She explained everything to me step by step. I love what she did to my hair. Recommend
Students & instructors are always great. They listen to what you want & need.
Have gone to the school for my haircuts for many years. Always get a cut that looks good. Can't beat the price!
Lauren did a very nice job. Didn't get the teacher's name but he gave her a lot of tips, things that I had not heard instructors give in the past.
Hair cut from Harmony was excellent. Harmony was personable, attentive and professional and I love the results of her work.
I have gray curly hair and my stylist was so professional and friendly. I definitely gave her a challenge and she handled it remarkably well. Lily Kydd was my stylist and she is definitely going to be fantastic at styling hair. She has a great personality and confident in what she’s doing. Good luck
Best haircut that I have had in a long time. Lily Kydd was fantastic and very professional. She is going to be an awesome stylist when she graduates.
Very professional job. Student was anxious to meet my need and expectation. A bit of a slow start because we had a blizzard the day before that hadn't been cleared in the city.
Student Addie did a terrific job in a short summer cut for me, skilled in clippering and short men's hairstyling, it was a pleasure to sit in her chair! The shampoo and scalp massage were top rate! I love going to PMTS to give the students an opportunity for a little real life work. Sign up with Addie next time you plan to get your hair cut.
Julia D. did a great job on my fade it was tight and she had a great eye for detail and she followed her instructor flawlessly.. I’m going back she was amazing!! She’s going to have a following when she gets out there !!!
Liliah was great overall. The cut (trim) was just right. She asked good questions. But she left the hair color on my roots for too long. And I believe too light of a touch and time to set when she was pulling the color through to the ends. Also, she could have been more thorough to take the color on my skin at the front hair line.
Haircut, wash & blowdry at great price! You have to allow extra time for the students, as they are just learning, but it is fun to watch their confidence grow at return visits.
I had a wonderful experience, my stylist was fantastic!! Love my new haircut!!
Hair cut and shampoo was amazing! Student (Addie D) was outstanding, great chair side manner, clearly knew what she was doing with the clippers and did a great job! Easy to find, with parking across the street, and right next door to some great restaurants. Having a day in Portsmouth? You definitely need to fit a visit to PMTS into your trip!
Cheyenne cut my hair and she was awesome!
Sydney is amazing. She pays attention, listened to what I wanted and she delivered! If I win the lottery she will be my personal stylist!
Eden is the best! Very talented, professional, listens and has great suggestions - I’ve been to schools for student services before but this is the first time I have come back requesting the same student.
Great layering. Very nice service.
I received a facial, haircut &style as well as a manicure from Z. She was professional, kind and made sure she followed up with instructors every step of the way. The entire experience was wonderful
Isabella was very good. I love my cut and color
Ashley did the best job everrrr on my hair. Shes amazing!
Loved the experience of getting my haircut "in school" and came away VERY happy with the job that Ella did. I'll definitely be back!
Eva was my stylist, she did a terrific job with my haircut. The blow out & style was wonderful !
I was instantly greeted by their new front desk person. I think they said his name was Manny. What a treat super friendly. Eden is my stylist & she is absolutely the best. Professional always tells you what to expect, what step she is on in the process and what to expect next. I can’t wait to see her on this…
Cheyenne was amazing! Her first week on the floor and she was thoughtful, asking for advice before moving on each step of the way. My hair turned out even better than expected!! Shout out to Jace, teaching, who was calm, cool and kickass. I'm going to recommend and will be back myself!
Cheyenne was absolutely wonderful! She do great work, was professional, and incredibly thorough throughout the consultation and service itself. She gave me exactly what I was wanting!!
The student was confident of her abilities and when she wasn’t, she asked. The teacher, Jace, was great at explaining the why and not just how to.
Amazing experience with Ari, she was fun, sweet and did a fantastic job on my haircut!!
Harmony listened well. Checked in. Worked with confidence but made sure she was checking in with the instructor. She was pleasant and did a good job of balancing conversation with being peaceful. She did a very nice job on my hat.
Nevenah did a great job! She was careful to get the color and cut exactly right. She was attentive and thorough. I definitely highly recommend her.
Everything was better than expected. From The male receptionist, who is an asset to your school to Molly the girl who cut my hair and did more of a professional job than at a salon where I would of paid hig end dollars. Paul Michel salon contributes also to community in Portsmouth through I got bridged. I am…

I'm a cancer patient and I had Emily shave my head. I was so impressed with the service. Emily is wise beyond her years. Mature patient gentle more professional than folk tenured in the biz
Emily Girard transformed my hair. She did an amazing job.
Amazing! Eva was such a great stylist!
I had my hair trimmed and eyebrows waxed and both services were great. Also had a hydrating facial which was nice but more of a cleansing and brief massage than a typical facial with extractions etc.
I got my hair cut and styled by brooke rice and it looks AMAZING!! Best haircut I have ever gotten I 100% recommend ❤️
Such a nice relaxing visit . I haven’t had my hair done by someone else and I don’t know when . I’ll be back !
