North Haven Academy, a Paul Mitchell partner school, makes a bold statement from its location on the site of a former bank on Washington Street. The two-story, white and glass building has huge, floor-to-ceiling glass windows that are filled with the images of beautiful models posing for the passing traffic. The beauty and hair design school is also open to the public for assorted services such as cuts, color, color correction, make-up and waxing. Services are offered to men, women and children. Walk-ins are accepted, but it's best to call ahead to make reservations at the student clinics.
