Paul Mitchell The School Fresno

Paul Mitchell The School Fresno operates on North Fresno Street in Fresno, California, and offers a 1,000-hour barbering program alongside cosmetology and manicuring. The barbering curriculum is organized into three levels: Core, covering theory and technical fundamentals practiced on mannequins; Adaptive, which moves students onto live clients on the school’s clinic floor; and Creative, in which students work more independently, build a portfolio and prepare for the California state board licensing examination.

Two schedules are published. The day track runs Monday through Friday, 9.30 a.m. to 5 p.m., at roughly 35 hours per week, and the evening track runs Monday through Friday, 5.30 p.m. to 10 p.m., at 22.5 hours per week. The campus is accredited by the National Accrediting Commission of Career Arts and Sciences and appears on the California Board of Barbering and Cosmetology approved school list.
