CREATIVE!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Welcome back!

I hope everyone had a safe and wonderful new year! Can you believe this cold and windy weather we are having? Even our classrooms are on the colder side from all this arctic air blowing through.

What’s new since last week? Well I have transitioned into the creative environment. There are three main levels here at Paul Mitchell The School. Level one is Core, Level 2 is Adaptive, Level 3 is Creative. There is also a final phase which I will talk about later down the road.

Let’s start with Core. Core is where you learn about the rules. You learn all the basics while working on your doll heads. This phase helps to build your skills and confidence level in order to work on guests. You are in core for approximately 8 weeks. In order to move into Adaptive you must pass a written and practical exam. Here we were learning how to do a perm.


In the last week of Core we have “spa” week. This is meant to relax and de-stress you. The room is dimly light with candles surrounding the perimeter. We learned how to give facials, and hand massages (no not body massages!) Many of us enjoyed the experience.

Next is Adaptive where you begin to apply the rules you learned in Core. You build upon your skills. You also begin your more specialized classes in color, cutting, texture, makeup and theory. Adaptive Future Professionals getting ready for their guests.

And then there is Creative where you expand on the rules you have already learned. You work at perfecting your skills and learn more advanced techniques in your specialized classes.


Until next week,

Darlene
