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.

Miss Briauna Rohde will be graduating from Johnny Matthew’s Hairdressing Training School within the next month! We would like to extend our congratulations and excitement to her as she progresses to the next chapter in her life. Briauna will be entering the June class for Esthetics at the Tangled Ends Hair Academy in Keizer, Oregon.
Tangled Ends Hair Academy offers Esthetics here in the Willamette Valley, and we couldn’t be happier to send one of our top students over to pursue the program in Esthetics. Whilst Briauna chose to enroll in the Johnny Matthew’s Hair Design program instead of the Tangled Ends Hair Design program we are happy that she’ll receive a 250 hour credit because of the classes she has taken with Johnny Matthew’s Hairdressing Training School. We look forward to seeing what paths she will carve in the beauty industry, being able to do both hair and make-up for Salem. Briauna has an impeccable eye for styling and coloring hair, and with her training in esthetics she will surely be an unstoppable force.
If you are looking for an exciting new career that fits your life and schedule, hair design is the path for you! In the hairdressing industry, you can set your own schedule, your own prices, and your own terms. Hair design is always changing and evolving. Trends are constantly morphing. Hair design of yesteryear is behind us, and a new, exciting road awaits you!
Johnny Matthew’s Hairdressing Training School has made downtown Salem home for the past two and a half years. We are the newest school in town, delivering our innovative and modern training system to the new generation of hairdressers and tomorrow’s leaders in this amazing industry.
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.
Call us today for more information, schedule a tour, or even apply for admission!
