Paul Mitchell the School-Lombard is a cosmetology training program located in Lombard, Illinois, a suburb west of Chicago. The school focuses on preparing students for careers in hair, skin, and beauty services through practical, industry-aligned instruction. With 73 students enrolled, the school operates as a specialized training facility rather than a traditional college.

Tuition is $24,075 annually, with a total cost of attendance of $29,901 including books and supplies. The compact size and focused curriculum are designed to move students quickly toward licensing and employment in the beauty industry.

Before enrolling, prospective students should ask about licensing exam pass rates, job placement outcomes, and the specific length and structure of the cosmetology program. Clarify which services—hair, nails, skin care, or a combination—are covered in the curriculum, and whether the school provides externship or apprenticeship opportunities.
