Winter may be a slow time for most gardeners but not for our friends at Paul Mitchell the School Cincinnati! This holiday season Paul Mitchell the School Cincinnati planned a staff door decorating contest. The Admissions Department used #GivingIsMyStyle as part of the competition. Paul Mitchell believes in doing good for people, animals and our planet which is why Paul Mitchell the School Cincinnati’s Admissions Leaders, Christina and Adair, had to join their global family and share why they give back on Instagram (or Twitter) with #GivingIsMyStyle! But wait, the best part is when you #hashtag #GivingIsMyStyle Paul Mitchell will donate $1 to Grow Appalachia! Way to go Paul Mitchell the School Cincinnati and Paul Mitchell!!
