Paul Mitchell The School

Known as the Air Capital of the World and founding site of several major aircraft corporations, Wichita combines metropolitan sophistication with a strong community feel. In 2008, MSN Real Estate named it the Most Livable Bargain Market, citing its low unemployment, short commute times, and interesting entertainment and recreation attractions. A cultural and artistic hub of the state, Wichita is home to many museums and performing arts groups, including professional opera, symphony, and ballet firms plus theaters, galleries, and breathtaking gardens.
