Paul Mitchell The School - Chicago How We Give Back

"Service is the rent you pay for room on this earth." — Shirley Chisholm

In the past five years, Paul Mitchell Schools have donated their time and more than $2.5 million in support of many charitable causes. In conjunction with our own nonprofit organization, the Andrew Gomez Dream Foundation, we’ve built two homes through Habitat for Humanity; fed thousands of African orphans; provided resources for caregivers through the Leeza Gibbons Memory Foundation; provided hair care services for the poor and homeless; helped beauty industry professionals in the wake of natural disasters; and supported the victims of AIDS, breast cancer, homelessness, domestic abuse, and hundreds of other causes, to name just a few.

"People in need are not just those who line up at a soup kitchen on Thanksgiving Day," says Dean and Cofounder Winn Claybaugh. "At Paul Mitchell Schools, giving back is an ongoing attitude about how we do business."

John Paul Mitchell Systems Chairman and CEO John Paul DeJoria adds, "It’s about each of us paying more than our share of rent on this planet in order to help many people have much better lives or even have the chance to live one. What a great culture that is!"
