I'm home sick today from school so I'm getting caught up a bit on my posts and the highlights of my education at Paul Mitchell the School Salt Lake City. One of the best parts of my time with Paul Mitchell was our annual Caper event. Caper is a huge hair show along with two full days of cut, color and styling classes. It is available to any student who would like to go... all you have to do is sell a certain amount of Take Home products and your trip is completely paid for!!!
This year it was held in the Caesar's Palace Hotel on the Las Vegas Strip! As part of our preparation for the trip, our school had a T-Shirt design contest for the shirts that we would take with us to the event to represent our school. I was fortunate enough to win the contest by the skin of my teeth with the above T-Shirt design at the top of this post. It was definitely a bit more fun to be cruising the strip and seeing my design walking around!
If I had one piece of advice for anyone considering attending a Paul Mitchell School, it would be to take advantage of any and all opportunities that they offer you. At our school in particular, we are given numerous chances to win trips to Paul Mitchell Advanced Academy trainings in California as well as trips to Caper and Paul Mitchell's Signature Gathering. It's absolutely terrifying to end some of the fashion shows or styling competitions, but so far it has been more than worth it. Seriously, you might as well.
Every time I decided to enter a competition, I would be pretty optimistic. Then, as the competition draws closer, I get really nervous and decide that I absolutely don't care if I win or not, but I'll do it any way just for the experience. Somehow, I've been lucky enough to win a fashion show and and a styling competition allowing me to visit the East Bay PM School twice! Honestly the secret to winning has been just to show up and have fun. For real, I've found that other people are just as scared and usually end up dropping out any way.
