More Than The Rest

By Press Releases

Understanding that mediocre beauty schools are commonplace, the more discerning student may decide to choose an established and reputable beauty school or hair academy such as the Aveda Institute Portland or Seattle or even Paul Mitchell the School – Portland. Both of these academies do offer above par training for the discerning student, but realize you’re not going to be actually trained to cut and dress hair by Horst Rechelbacher himself or John Paul DeJoria. You will be trained by employees – instructors of a well branded company.

The difference with JohnnyMatthew’s is the founder and the architects behind the JohnnyMatthew’s Hairdressing Training System are the very instructors you receive your apprenticeship and daily training from. You’re not learning passed down techniques, you are actually learning from the career hairdressers who are at the height of their profession and involved in the day to day specialized training of individual students with class sizes limited to 12 students at a time. This is the customized hands on training that only JohnnyMatthew’s can offer. Johhny and Matthew communicate and teach you all they know, personally, day in – day out.

  1. Choose the right beauty school: Find a school that teaches more than just the Milady Standard Cosmetology. Look for a school run by and employing current successful career hair artists.
  2. Cost: Look for a school that can put you in touch with private lenders who specialize in private student loans.
  3. Judge by the tool kit: If the school doesn’t provide you with the highest quality tool kit, then you can bet they won’t provide you with the highest quality training either.
  4. Develop a portfolio. All hairdressers can benefit from a professional portfolio that showcases their best work. Hairdressers should begin compiling their portfolio while in school.
  5. Completion of a state-licensed hair design training program.
