Paul Mitchell The School Colorado Springs

Paul Mitchell The School Colorado Springs operates on West Colorado Avenue and offers barbering alongside cosmetology, esthetics, nail technology and hairstylist programs. The barbering program is 1,500 clock hours and is offered in two formats: one delivering roughly 25 percent of the course through distance learning and one taught entirely on campus. Coursework covers scissor and clipper-over-comb work, fades, tapers and precision cutting, with the final stage devoted to building speed and preparing for the state board examination.

The school is accredited by the National Accrediting Commission of Career Arts and Sciences. Prospective students should be aware that the Colorado Private Occupational School Board summarily suspended the school’s certificate of approval for nail technician and cosmetology training with effect from December 2025; the barbering program is not named in that suspension and continues to post start dates, but it is worth confirming current status with the school and the state directly.
