That’s beauty school pricing – April 1, we will be enrolling students and will be able to offer amazing prices like that too, one of the many advantages of being a cosmetology beauty school in Salem Oregon.

Cultural diversity in the hair salon, Salem Oregon.

By Press Releases
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!
What say you?

Beauty School Portland – Graduate in as little as 3 months

By Press Releases

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!
