By Press Releases

Want to Work on A Cruise Ship and Travel the World?

Ever been interested in working overseas or on a cruise ship? If so, then Johnny Matthew’s Hairdressing Training School is the place for you! Johnny Matthew’s  hairdressing school is fully accredited with ITEC (International Therapy Examination Council), which is the exclusive council that will allow you to work on cruise ships around the world.

Beginning in July 2016, all incoming students will have the opportunity to obtain their International License at the same time as they are working towards their Oregon State license. Even if you don’t desire to work outside of the U.S., having an ITEC license will be greatly beneficial to you when applying for stylist/barber positions outside of Oregon. Along with learning the Oregon standards and meeting the U.S. requirements to become a hair designer or barber, you also meet the international requirements and standards. Showing that you have put in the time and effort to get the global certification will put you above and beyond other candidates for the job you are wanting to obtain.

Transfer your state license with ease

Along with being able to work outside of the United States, an ITEC license makes it much easier to move from Oregon to other states, and to be able to easily transfer your state certification.

Hair Design Training for Your Career Success

Once you enroll at Johnny Matthew’s, you begin two weeks of intensive training to prepare you for the basics of cutting and coloring. After two weeks, you integrate with other students on the salon floor, and begin taking your first clients. We believe the first two weeks are the most important – that’s when you develop the habits that you will take with you for the rest of your journey. We also believe that getting you out and comfortable on the floor quickly is important; we want you to gain the greatest amount of supervised time on the floor so you feel fully competent when you graduate and secure a position in a salon. You can learn and grow at your own pace, while we provide structure and guidance through our textbook and weekly classes that foster discussion and breakdown the material for greater understanding.

We provide junior and senior sessions in both our hairdressing and barbering classes at specific intervals in order to further your education. You will learn advanced personalization techniques, more complex haircuts and layering patterns, along with hair color placement options. Once you’ve completed your training, you will be ready to go out into the workplace and provide quality hair services that can rival the ‘best hairdresser in town’.

The hairdressing program at Johnny Matthew’s comprises 1,700 hours training, which can be completed in 10-12 months. We encourage students to be here at the school as often as possible to ensure that they receive the most education, and gain the highest level of confidence by the time graduation arrives. We offer low monthly payments, and work with all types of schedules and lifestyles.

The Lifespan of a Hairdresser in Salem, Oregon

By Press Releases

No matter what age you begin your career as a hairdresser, there is always room to grow and expand your path. You can always go higher than your current position, and you can always inspire people around you to do their best and find what their calling is.

You, of course, begin at a cosmetology school to train to get your state license to practice. In the Willamette Valley, there are many to choose from, but why not choose Johnny Matthew’s Hairdressing Training School, where we give you exceptional tools and exceptional training you won’t find just everywhere on the West Coast? We train you to cut hair geometrically, so you can create any haircut by combining angles and elevations for success, and give you the know-how to color any head of hair that sits in your chair. Once you have put in your hours and graduated, you are on to the next great thing of life- your own station.

There are a couple of different ways you can rent a station when you are first out in the hairdressing world. You can either lease a station, which is a general rent, or you can have a commission station, which is a little more complicated. Both have pros and cons, but it is up to you to decide which one is better for you while you are at your station in life. You can work behind the chair for years, building up a clientele and beginning to know yourself as a stylist. However, at some point, you may realize you want to be in charge yourself, and you can open a salon of your own.

When opening a hairdressing or barber salon, there are many different choices to think about- whether you want to be on your own or have other hairdressers and barbers work with you, where you want to be located, and what you should offer. Here at Johnny Matthew’s School, we teach you how to successfully run a salon or barber shop from cutting hair, product lines, booking appointments, and furthering your cosmetology education.

You can make this a very lucrative career, so why not call Johnny Matthew’s Hairdressing Training School and start the beauty career journey of a lifetime.

Top 5 Reasons to Become a Licensed in Cosmetology in Wilsonville, Oregon

By Press Releases

 

Situated halfway between Portland and Salem, Wilsonville, Oregon is a prime location to think about attending beauty school. Seated between the state capitol and the busiest city in the state, Johnny Matthew’s Hairdressing Training School can and will show you how to get the job of your dreams, starting with these five reasons.

  1. A Loyal Clientele: Salem and Portland offer large populations of people that are searching for a hair stylist that will understand and cater to their needs. Johnny Matthew’s Hairdressing Training School builds client care directly into our beauty school curriculum. Each school client is greeted and provided a consultation by the student that will be doing the cosmetology or barber services that day. We stress that clients need to be listened to, and a conversation should be had to explain why or why not a service can be done. By emphasizing this, clients feel that they are heard, their opinion is valid, and this makes them a loyal client.
  2. A Diverse Job: Johnny Matthew’s barber school has the unique opportunity to be duel-enrolled and be licensed in both Hair Design and Barbering. Having both skills at your disposal makes the entire world of cosmetology open to you. You can cut, color, perm, and relax hair, along with applying tonics and doing facial shaves. You can be a great resource for any salon or barbershop you work at.
  3. An International Flair: Johnny Matthew’s Beauty School is the only hair school on the West Coast that is ITEC licensed. Being internationally licensed means that you can go anywhere in the world and continue your career. The license helps in moving from state to state, so living in Wilsonville and working in Washington could become an easy and achievable reality for anyone. In fact, if it is your dream to work and travel on a cruise ship, it is a requirement that you be ITEC licensed. The program is incorporated into the curriculum automatically, so there is no extra time you have to enroll in school, so it’s the best offer out there!
  4. Opportunity: Being in the heart of downtown, there are all types of people that walk through our doors everyday. During your time at Johnny Matthew’s, you will be exposed to every type of haircut imaginable, along with every color opportunity you could desire. When you graduate and leave, you can go to any salon and be ready and able to execute any cut and style a client could ask for.
  5. An Ever-Expanding Career: the cosmetology field is constantly changing and morphing into something new and different. Every few months, a new color trend or trending cut will capture the eye of the public, and you have to know how to do it before they ask for it. We live in a state where the educational classes are offered every weekend in a city around us, and we can continually learn from others around us.

As your experience and skills grow, so will your clientele. You have the opportunity of a lifetime at your fingertips, and all you have to do is grab it.
