Three Requirements to Be a Hair Designer
Hair designers, sometimes called hair stylists or hairdressers, turn their clients’ manes into works of art that can be admired by friends, family and passersby. They cut, trim and style hair; wash, color and condition; offer hair-care products for sale; and process payments from customers. They must meet three main requirements to obtain jobs.
Training
Hair designers must have training, which is available in some high schools or state-licensed hairdressing academies, technical institutes or community colleges. Full-time programs can take at least nine months, with some leading to an associate’s degree. Courses cover professional skills such as cutting, styling, coloring, hair chemistry and the business skills needed for designers to be entrepreneurs. That might include time management, marketing and communications. Students can practice their skills on actual customers in salons connected to their educational schools. Compleentary subjects may cover barbering, cosmetology and esthetics.
Licenses
All states mandate that hair designers must have licenses. Though qualifications vary by location, they generally require a high school diploma, a minimum age of 16 and graduation from an accredited educational institution. Stylists also must pass written, oral or practical exams. Many states allow an education in cosmetology to apply to barber licenses, and barber training to apply to cosmetology credentials. Some states combine the two licenses and stipulate continuing education for renewals. A few states allow licenses obtained in another state to be valid in their locations. However, this varies according to state rules and regulations.
Qualities
Hair designers who have certain qualities may find their careers more fulfilling and have faster advancement. Creativity is the most important trait because it allows designers to transform the latest trends into unique styles. The stamina to be standing for most of the workday is necessary, and so are customer-service skills, which include listening to clients’ specific requests and communicating available options. Because hairdressers work with several customers throughout the day, they must have excellent time-management skills, so services for one person do not impinge upon the appointment or styling for another.

It’s always a good idea to do your research before applying to Beauty School. In the Salem area there are several Cosmetology Schools to look at before making a final decision. We’ve listed many of them to aid you in making your decision so when you visit JohnnyMatthew’s you’re informed before applying. One of the newer Beauty Schools in Salem, Oregon is Tangled Ends Hair Academy – Keizer.
Remember when you do your research to ask about the cost of tuition, separate from the cost of your tool kit and see if your tool kit is what you want and worth what you’re paying for it. Don’t overpay for tuition and incur a huge amount of debt, even if it is a Federal or Private Student Loan. Buy a tool kit that you’ll be happy with, that you’ll want to use in your professional career.
At JohnnyMatthew’s we’ve provided our own in house financial assistance with low, low monthly payments along with beautiful Ferrari tool kits so students that finish here leave debt free and equipped with the best so they can be the best!

House Bill 3409. Thanks to a very astute and kind businessman at the Academy of Hair Design Salem, Oregon, JohnnyMatthew’sUSA has been informed of House Bill 3409 which proposes to deregulate (14) (A) braiding, cornrowing, extending, lacing, locking, sewing, twisting, weaving or wrapping of human hair, natural fibers, synthetic fibers or hair extensions. (B) The use of scissors to trim synthetic fibers, hair extensions or sewn-in weave extensions….(C) The making of customized wigs form natural hair, natural fibers, synthetic fibers or hair extensions. Is this the beginning of the end? How do owners of Beauty Schools that teach Cosmetology feel about this? If deregulation of wigs, which includes natural hair and the cutting of hair with scissors is passed where does it stop, semi permanents, fringe trims?
JohnnyMatthew’sUSA believes in elevating the hairdressing education industry, education is something that we’re excited about. We just wonder how a bill like this one can possibly elevate education, it appears to us that it’s moving in the other direction.
There really isn’t much difference between Beauty Schools and Cosmetology Schools – they’re synonymous terms.
It really all comes down to the curriculum that the school uses. Is it new, inspiring and dynamic or an old replicated standard that’s being recirculated year in, year out?
Our Cosmetology School curriculum was created in 2013, it’s highly innovative and prepares you to become the advanced, highly trained barber or hair designer you aspire to be!
One of the regions more established Beauty Schools in Salem and Portland, Oregon is Phagans’ Cosmetology College.
We’re asking potential students to do their due diligence before applying to any Hair School. Shop around and compare, find what suits you best. Remember when you do your research to ask about where the instructors have worked and how successful have they been in the field that they could potentially train you in. How long is the training, is their online assistance? What’s the cost of tuition, separate form the cost of your tool kit? Examine and see if your tool kit is what you want and worth what you’re paying for it. Don’t overpay for tuition and incur a huge amount of debt, even if it is a Private or Federal Student Loan. We never recommend buying overpriced, below par tool kits that you won’t want to use in your professional career.
JohnnyMatthew’s Instructors have extensive resumes: they’ve trained with Vidal Sassoon, been platform artists with Paul Mitchell and Bumble & Bumble or apprenticed under Charles Worthington, England’s most famous celebrity hairstylist and British Hairdresser of the Year 2 years running.
