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.

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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!
- 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.
- 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.

If you look around the beautiful city of Keizer, Oregon, you will see a plethora of salons waiting for you once you leave Cosmetology school.

Cosmetology school has many different faces, whether it be color theory, brands offered, trends, and specialty services. The training at Johnny Matthew’s hair and barber school includes color theory using the German-engineered Goldwell color system, which is a top-of-the-line provider with new-age dispensing methods. We also offer full training and the chance for licensing in the Brazilian Blow-Out brand for their full line of products.

Every hairdresser and stylist has their own arsenal of tips and tricks they use to do their craft. With all of the color and product lines constantly changing and growing, its hard to know which ones you should use.
We teach our students at Johnny Matthew’s Cosmetology School how to identify underlying pigments and tones of the hair to better provide the color that the client wants, rather than applying a color and hoping for the best. Here at Johnny Matthew’s school, we are a Goldwell exclusive salon, meaning we only use large selection of color that the manufacturer provides. We chose to use this product because it is environmentally conscious; ingredients are low ammonia-nontoxic with no harsh chemicals, all-safe for humanity and the earth. Along with the color theory, we train students to measure the proper amount of color, as to not waste color, and so they are not constantly leaving their client to mix more color together.
Seeing as how the summer heat and sun has hit the Pacific Northwest this past month, everybody is going blonde, whether it be natural or with the help of lightener. Everybody always says that lightener is bad for hair, but with the help of Olaplex, this isn’t so true anymore. Johnny Matthew’s Hair School is proud to offer clients the option of having Olaplex added to their hair color and their lightener, if they so choose. Olaplex is a bond-builder, meaning that your hair won’t be so damaged after the service. We use Olaplex daily in our student salon, and they are all taught how to use it both as a bond builder, and also as a deep conditioner.
If your school tools aren’t the best, how do you expect to give the best haircut or color for your client? Johnny Matthew’s Hairdressing Training School is excited to say that we use Ferrari and Babyliss tools in the student tool kits that all students receive when they enroll at the school. We provide blow-dryers and hair clippers with Ferrari engines in them, meaning they get the job done quickly and efficiently, and the tool will last you a long time. For our students shear needs, we provide Hattori Hanzo shears, with a representative that visits the school once a month to ensure everyone’s shears are sharp and safe enough to be using.
Now is the time to enroll for $250 per month your dreams can become reality!
Even top hairdressers can face many challenges in their careers and that’s why choosing the right beauty school is so important. Just a short drive from Albany, Oregon, you’ll find a hair design school that will get you headed in the right direction early.
Helping Clients Fall in Love with Their Hair Again
One of the most difficult and most common challenges you will you will deal with is how to make people fall in love with their hair again. We all have those things we hate about our hair – it’s too frizzy, too flat, not the right color, or a whole host of other complaints. It’s up to your stylist to figure out how to turn the things you dislike about your hair into the qualities you love about your hair.
While a conditioning treatment or a hot tool can mask a problem, here at Johnny Matthew’s Hairdressing Training School we teach our beauty and barber students how to analyze the hair, the client, and the lifestyle in order to develop a good hair care routine so the client can go home happy with their hair, and still be happy the next time they come in.
Thinking about Hair in a Whole New Way
We train our cosmetology students to really look at the hair and actively think of ways to make it work for the client. For example, if the hair is too frizzy, it may be because the client has naturally curly hair and tries to flat iron or blow it out incorrectly. Perhaps the problem is that the hair has never been cut in such a way to tame the unruliness, but once layered and texturized, suddenly the client experiences his or her hair in a whole new way.
Johnny Matthew’s strives to impart the knowledge students need to show their clients how to do their own hair so they can replicate the look at home. Students understand that in order for a client to be truly happy with their look, their hair has to play a major role – and that all begins from day one at our beauty school. We provide the Johnny Matthew’s Smart Hair Care line that offers a wide variety of products to work with natural hair, or create the style of hair that you want all year round. The Willamette Valley experiences a variety temperatures throughout the year, and being able to combat all the ways the air affects hair is a must.
