About Our Bradley Cosmetology School

About Paul Mitchell The School Bradley

Did you know that Paul Mitchell The School Bradley was the very first Paul Mitchell cosmetology school in the state of Illinois? Established way back in 1996, we have continued to grow each year, and we even recently celebrated the opening of our brand new cosmetology school inside the Northfield Square Mall in Bourbonnais, Illinois. Home to 17,000 square feet of new classroom and salon space, our Illinois cosmetology school boasts 40 clinic stations. We are also equipped with the latest in educational audio/visual technology to further enhance the Paul Mitchell experience. And our students love being located inside a mall! Lunch time is a breeze, and the shopping is fabulous!

You'll notice a positive learning environment at our Illinois cosmetology school! We believe that education is an adventure, and the learning experience needs to be fun! Our learning communities provide our students with opportunities to develop essential skills while exploring their talents, passion, and creativity.

Thanks to a cosmetology school staff with over 160 combined years of industry experience and students (we call them Future Professionals) whose passion comes through in their work, Paul Mitchell The School Bradley has been honored to receive the following honors and local media coverage:

Local Media Coverage

Our cosmetology school has been (and is regularly) featured in area newspapers for the following events and developments:

• St. Baldrick's Day
• Chicago Bears haircuts
• Cosmetology program graduations
• Prom fashion shows
• Design Team partnering with local theater company

There are also many student-run programs and FUNraising opportunities for Future Professionals to get involved with during their time at Paul Mitchell The School Bradley. These opportunities get our Future Professionals involved in community activities - from fashion shows and cut-a-thons to bake sales and charity-based events.

At our Illinois cosmetology school, we teach our Future Professionals so much more than what they need to pass the State Board exam. We are instilling in them our "be nice and give back" culture and what it means to be a positive person with a great attitude - more specifically, how this can benefit them, their families, and their community along their journey to becoming a brilliant and successful hairdresser.
