One big beauty school complaint: ‘Where’s the cultural diversity?’ ‘I didn’t get trained properly, I’m not comfortable doing ethnic hair!”
Flashback – 1991 – an illegal alien, straight ‘off the boat’ looking for work under the radar!
I landed a dream job – right opposite my downtown Seattle apartment on 1st Ave, near the Market.
The only white bloke in an African American salon!
Of course, no one wanted to let the white, G.Q English boy in their hair! But, after 6 months of apprenticing under the owner, a few brave souls gave me a chance! I loved it – cultural diversity and chemicals that could burn a hole through my Oxford Street shoes! 3 years later I had my own diverse clientele. Yes, I was thrown in the deep end, but hey! I was working and living in the midst of a scene that was unfolding in America that would come to be known as ‘grunge.’ Nirvana, Alice & Chains, Sound Garden, Mother Love Bone, all playing in the neighborhood bars for a few bucks! Cutting hair by day and, well, lets say the nights were long!
My point? JohnnyMatthew’s will train you to cut every type of hair imaginable. The question is whether Salem is culturally diverse enough to support our style!

Accelerated Cosmetology Programs do they really work? Can you possibly become a Master Stylist in 3 months? Is the competency based format really an intelligent approach to cosmetology education?
These questions are often asked to career professionals like us because students just want to get done and out on the salon floor as soon as possible. BUT WAIT – HOLD UP! Is it even reasonable to expect someone to teach you how to succeed in an extremely competitive market in just 3 months? We can train a monkey to cut hair in 3 months but that doesn’t translate over to a good haircut or a long-term hairdressing career!
Somethings, to be done right, just take time, patience and hard work – great things come to those who train, really train – hard.
At JohnnyMatthew’s we don’t believe in churning out monkey cuts and we’re not shy to admit it! Train with us for 9 – 12 months and you’ll experience the difference!
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.
- 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.
- Cost: Look for a school that can put you in touch with private lenders who specialize in private student loans.
- 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.
- 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.
- Completion of a state-licensed hair design training program.
- Hair Design Licensure: A state-issued license is required in all states.
- Key Skills: Strong communication, customer service and time management skills; creativity and dexterity.
- Additional Requirements: Most hairdressers must be 17 years of age or older.
- Build a professional resume: Your school should include resume building in it business and career curriculum
- Build a model list: Model demonstrations are the best way to showcase your work to prospective employers.
