“Lights, Camera, Action!” That’s the theme of Paul Mitchell Schools’ Caper event, a smoke-free, alcohol-free, hands-on educational extravaganza that brings over 2,500 “future professionals” to Las Vegas February 9–11, 2015. Paul Mitchell Schools have confirmed a superstar lineup for the 30th annual event, including comedian and inspirational speaker Kathy Buckley, motivational speaker and author Lizzie Velasquez, motivational speaker/author Alvin Law, a special appearance by singer/entertainer Marie Osmond, and other surprise guests.
“Our students will attend many shows throughout their careers,” says Paul Mitchell Schools’ Dean and CofounderWinn Claybaugh. “We want their first show to set the bar high, giving them not only nonstop education and fashion but also bringing them inspiration and motivation that will change their lives and leave them hungry for life-long learning.”
In addition to the lineup of speakers and educators, students will be treated to artistic presentations and hands-on classroom rotations featuring top artists, educators, and artistic directors from inside and outside the Paul Mitchell world.

CAPER EVENT SCHEDULE
Future Professionals arrive, check in, and pick up their swag bags on Monday, February 9, then visit the Mall and Career Connection to mingle with salon representatives, see live demonstrations on styling and cutting, practice their interview skills, and learn about career opportunities throughout the world. Future Professionals can also play in the Visionary Lounge; shop in the Peace, Love, and Happiness Mall; and participate in cutting, styling, and makeup mini-classes throughout the afternoon and evening. Monday night is a “free night.”
On Tuesday, February 10, Paul Mitchell Co-founder and CEO John Paul DeJoria, Co-owner Angus Mitchell, Global Artistic Director Robert Cromeans, and Paul Mitchell Schools Dean and Co-founder Winn Claybaugh kick Caper off with a warm welcome. The one-hour stage show includes two segments starring the Future Professional Design Team: led by Advanced Academy members Mike Helm, Audra Turner, Kate Russell, Nikki Ramos, Fernie Andong, and Brandon Palmore, the student Design Team will do hair, makeup, and modeling in the opening and barbering segments. Next up: exciting presentations by the artists and educators who will lead the classroom rotations later that day. After the opening show, cosmetology students rotate through four classes (Cutting, Color, Style, and Look and Learn). Skin care students spend their day in Hands-On Makeup, plus Look and Learn. Day one ends with a favorite Paul Mitchell tradition: the White Party, where Future Professionals can enjoy “photo ops” with their favorite educators and dance the night away.
