<h2 id="1">What Programs Does Phagans School of Hair Design Offer?</h2>
<p>At Phagans School of Hair Design, we offer <a href="/courses/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">many different educational paths</a> within the beauty industry. We know each student is unique and has different career goals. That’s why we’ve made it easy for you to learn what’s important to you!</p>
<p>We offer a full program, several dual programs, and a few standalone programs.</p>
<h3>Full Program</h3>
<p><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3891" src="/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/pexels-godisable-jacob-1154777l-scaled.jpg" alt="beautiful woman wearing red matching set out on the town" width="2632" height="1755" srcset="https://www.phagans.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/pexels-godisable-jacob-1154777l-scaled.jpg 2632w, https://www.phagans.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/pexels-godisable-jacob-1154777l-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.phagans.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/pexels-godisable-jacob-1154777l-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://www.phagans.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/pexels-godisable-jacob-1154777l-768x512.jpg 768w, https://www.phagans.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/pexels-godisable-jacob-1154777l-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://www.phagans.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/pexels-godisable-jacob-1154777l-2048x1366.jpg 2048w, https://www.phagans.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/pexels-godisable-jacob-1154777l-960x640.jpg 960w, https://www.phagans.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/pexels-godisable-jacob-1154777l-800x533.jpg 800w, https://www.phagans.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/pexels-godisable-jacob-1154777l-525x350.jpg 525w" sizes="(max-width: 2632px) 100vw, 2632px" /></p>
<p>Our full program is your fastest track to becoming a full specialist! It combines learning in all three branches of cosmetology: <a href="/courses/hair-design/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Hair Design</a>, <a href="/courses/courses-nails/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Nail Technology</a>, and <a href="/courses/esthetics/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Esthetics</a>. If you want to become a well-rounded cosmetologist, this course is for you! There are also <a href="#2">many benefits to learning more than one specialty</a> that can help you find a thriving career.</p>
<p>This program is 1835 hours of instruction and starts with classes in Hair Design. You will branch out into learning nail technology and esthetics from there!</p>
<h3>Dual Programs</h3>
<p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3897" src="/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/DSC00808.jpg" alt="client getting her nails done" width="2048" height="1365" srcset="https://www.phagans.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/DSC00808.jpg 2048w, https://www.phagans.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/DSC00808-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.phagans.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/DSC00808-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://www.phagans.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/DSC00808-768x512.jpg 768w, https://www.phagans.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/DSC00808-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://www.phagans.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/DSC00808-960x640.jpg 960w, https://www.phagans.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/DSC00808-800x533.jpg 800w, https://www.phagans.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/DSC00808-525x350.jpg 525w" sizes="(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px" /></p>
<p>Our dual programs fast-track learning in two fields. You can choose from a few combinations based on your interests and career goals:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="/courses/hair-design-nail-technology/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Hair Design/ Nail Technology</a>: 1391 hours</li>
<li><a href="/courses/hair-design-esthetics/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Hair Design/ Esthetics</a>: 1594 hours</li>
<li><a href="/courses/esthetics-nail-technology/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Esthetics/ Nail Technology</a>: 725 hours</li>
</ul>
<p>If you start with a dual program and decide to become a full specialist instead, you can always add the required course after enrolling! Just remember this will take a little more time than enrolling in the full program to begin with. For example, if you start with the dual Hair Design/ Nail program (1391 hours) and add the standalone Esthetics program (600 hours), it will take you a total of 1991 hours to become a full specialist instead of 1835.</p>
<h3>Standalone Programs</h3>
<p>Our standalone programs help you master only one area of cosmetology. Some programs (like Barbering or our Cadet Instructor programs) are only available as a standalone.</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="/courses/courses-barbering/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Barbering</a>: 786 hours</li>
<li><a href="/courses/hair-design/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Hair Design</a>: 1150 hours</li>
<li><a href="/courses/esthetics/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Esthetics</a>: 600 hours</li>
<li><a href="/courses/cadet-instructor/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Cadet Instructor</a>: 1,000 hours approximately</li>
</ul>
<p><b>Note:</b> Our Nail Technology program is not available as a standalone program. If you want to learn nail technology, you will need to enroll in either our full specialty program or one of our dual programs. If you first enrolled in the dual Hair Design/ Esthetics program, you can always add <a href="/courses/courses-nails/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Nail Technology</a> to become a full specialist.</p>
<h2 id="2">What Are the Benefits of Learning Multiple Specialties?</h2>
<p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3892" src="/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/pexels-george-milton-6953622-scaled.jpg" alt="makeup artist doing client's makeup " width="3698" height="2070" srcset="https://www.phagans.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/pexels-george-milton-6953622-scaled.jpg 3698w, https://www.phagans.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/pexels-george-milton-6953622-300x168.jpg 300w, https://www.phagans.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/pexels-george-milton-6953622-1024x573.jpg 1024w, https://www.phagans.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/pexels-george-milton-6953622-768x430.jpg 768w, https://www.phagans.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/pexels-george-milton-6953622-1536x860.jpg 1536w, https://www.phagans.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/pexels-george-milton-6953622-2048x1146.jpg 2048w, https://www.phagans.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/pexels-george-milton-6953622-960x537.jpg 960w, https://www.phagans.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/pexels-george-milton-6953622-800x448.jpg 800w, https://www.phagans.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/pexels-george-milton-6953622-625x350.jpg 625w" sizes="(max-width: 3698px) 100vw, 3698px" /></p>
<p>Now that you know what paths you can take, the next question is whether you should enroll in our full program, a dual program, or a standalone program. While you can still have a thriving career with only one specialty, there are several benefits to learning multiple. Here are just a few!</p>
<ol>
<li><b>Explore Your Passions</b><br />
Not sure what your passion is? Enrolling in a dual program or our full program allows you to explore. Or, if you already have one passion, enrolling in multiple specialties may lead you to another passion! You may start out interested in hair, but find that you love esthetics just as much. You never know what you may love until you try it!</li>
<li><b>Increased Earning Potential</b><br />
Having multiple specialties can increase your earning potential. It allows you to offer more skills and services to your clients, giving you more opportunities to upsell. This can help you increase your ticket price and your bottom line!</li>
<li><b>Fill Your Books</b><br />
If your clients come to you for multiple services, you will also likely see them more often. For example, your hair client used to see you every other month for color, but now sees you every three weeks for a nail fill! Being a one-stop-shop for your clients can help you fill your books.</li>
<li><b>More Marketable</b><br />
Have your eye on a certain dream salon or spa? Having more skills makes you more marketable during job hunting. This may give you a better opportunity to potentially snag your dream job!</li>
<li><b>More Career Options</b><br />
Knowing multiple skills can also increase your career options. For example, knowing hair and makeup (which you can learn in our dual Hair Design/ Esthetics program) can open the door for you to work in film, music videos, or photoshoot work! Many of these editorial fields look for someone proficient in both hair and makeup. Knowing manicuring as a full specialist can open even more doors!</li>
</ol>
<h2 id="3">Tips to Choose the Right Program for You</h2>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3895" src="/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Untitled-design-2.jpg" alt="Hairstylist cutting man's hair" width="1800" height="1200" srcset="https://www.phagans.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Untitled-design-2.jpg 1800w, https://www.phagans.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Untitled-design-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.phagans.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Untitled-design-2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://www.phagans.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Untitled-design-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https://www.phagans.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Untitled-design-2-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://www.phagans.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Untitled-design-2-960x640.jpg 960w, https://www.phagans.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Untitled-design-2-800x533.jpg 800w, https://www.phagans.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Untitled-design-2-525x350.jpg 525w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px" /></p>
<p>Still not sure what program is right for you? Here are a few questions to consider that may help you decide:</p>
<ol>
<li>What careers interest me?</li>
<li>What skills would be beneficial to have in these careers?</li>
<li>What added skills could help set me apart?</li>
<li>What skills do I definitely want to learn?</li>
<li>What skills might I want to learn?</li>
<li>What’s the fastest program track to teach me all I want to know?</li>
</ol>
<p>You may also find it helpful to shadow industry professionals in different careers! Spend a day talking with your go-to nail technician, hairstylist, or esthetician. They may help you learn different benefits to each field you were previously unaware of.</p>
<h2 id="4">Is Flexible Scheduling Available?</h2>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3894" src="/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/DSC01128.jpg" alt="Student meeting with admissions representative" width="2048" height="1365" srcset="https://www.phagans.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/DSC01128.jpg 2048w, https://www.phagans.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/DSC01128-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.phagans.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/DSC01128-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://www.phagans.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/DSC01128-768x512.jpg 768w, https://www.phagans.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/DSC01128-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://www.phagans.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/DSC01128-960x640.jpg 960w, https://www.phagans.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/DSC01128-800x533.jpg 800w, https://www.phagans.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/DSC01128-525x350.jpg 525w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px" /></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Are you passionate about hairstyling, grooming, and making people look their best? If so, becoming a barber in Oregon could be the perfect career path for you. Barbers play a crucial role in the grooming industry, offering a range of services from haircuts to beard trims and shaves. To embark on this journey, it&#8217;s essential to understand the education, licensing requirements, and career opportunities available in Oregon. This guide will walk you through the steps to become a licensed barber in the state, highlighting the benefits of choosing Phagans School of Hair Design for your education.</span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Understanding the Barbering Profession</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Before diving into the specifics of becoming a barber in Oregon, let&#8217;s explore what this profession entails. </span><a href="https://nationalbarbers.org/barber-school-guide/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Barbers</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> specialize in cutting, styling, and grooming hair for men and sometimes women. They also provide facial hair maintenance, such as beard trims and shaves. Beyond technical skills, successful barbers possess strong interpersonal skills, creativity, and a keen eye for detail. This profession offers a dynamic work environment with opportunities to interact closely with clients and showcase your artistic flair.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Now, let’s get into the steps it takes to become a barber in Oregon: </span></p>
<h2 id="1">1. Graduate from an Accredited Oregon School</h2>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3779" src="/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/picture-of-phagans-school-of-hair-design.jpg" alt="picture of phagans school of hair design" width="512" height="231" srcset="https://www.phagans.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/picture-of-phagans-school-of-hair-design.jpg 512w, https://www.phagans.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/picture-of-phagans-school-of-hair-design-300x135.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px" /></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The first step toward becoming a barber is getting your education from an accredited school. The state of Oregon requires this education to be a minimum of 786 hours with the following breakdown:</span></p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">746 hours of barbering education, with 465 of those coming from practical operations (hands-on training)</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">20 hours of education related to Oregon state laws and rules</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">20 hours of career development training</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">At Phagans School of Hair Design, our </span><a href="/courses/courses-barbering/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">barbering program</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> meets these </span><a href="https://www.oregon.gov/oha/PH/HLO/Pages/Board-Cosmetology-Barber-License.aspx"><span style="font-weight: 400;">state requirements</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, and can be completed in as little as 8 months! This means you can be on your way to a new career in less time.</span></p>
<h3>What Will You Learn?</h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Our curriculum is designed to prepare you to sit for the Oregon state certification exams. We also want to help our students become ready to work in a salon or barbershop environment after receiving the necessary certification. You will learn:</span></p>

</ul>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If the idea of working in a career that allows you to work with your hands and be creative sounds appealing to you, barbering could be a great choice! Avoid the typical office life and trade it in for the social, hip environment barbershops are known for.</span></p>

<h2 id="2">2. Pass the Oregon State Exams</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The next step to receive your barbering certification is to pass the necessary exams. In Oregon, there are three examinations you will need to complete:</span></p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b><i>Barbering Practical Examination: </i></b><span style="font-weight: 400;">Your school will administer this exam, and you will need to submit proof of receiving a passing score to be eligible to take the Oregon written exam.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b><i>Barbering Written Examination:</i></b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> After passing your practical exam, contact the </span><a href="https://www.oregon.gov/oha/ph/hlo/Pages/index.aspx"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Oregon Health Licensing Office</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> to get information about taking your written exam.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b><i>Oregon Laws and Rules Written Examination:</i></b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Questions for this exam are taken from Oregon’s health and safety codes, which you can find </span><a href="https://www.oregon.gov/oha/PH/HLO/Pages/Board-Cosmetology-Laws-Rules.aspx"><span style="font-weight: 400;">here</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">On the day you take your examinations, you will need to bring two forms of acceptable federal, state, or local ID, one of which must have your photo. You can also expect to pay several fees related to certification on this day:</span></p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Verification of Licensure Fee (if using </span><a href="/2021/01/26/how-to-become-a-barber-in-oregon/#reciprocity"><span style="font-weight: 400;">reciprocity</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">)</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Application Fee</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Oregon Laws and Rules Examination Fee</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Barbering Written Examination Fee</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Certification Fee</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Once you have passed your exams and paid the necessary fees, you can walk out the door with your barbering certification that day!</span></p>
<h3 id="reciprocity">Already Licensed in Another State?</h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Are you already a licensed barber in another state? Under Oregon’s rule of reciprocity, you can transfer your license from your state. You will just need to provide proof of licensure and pass both of the Oregon written examinations.</span></p>
<h2 id="3">3. Begin Your Barbering Career</h2>

<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">And more!</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In the beauty industry, the options are nearly endless. Whether you are a parent looking for a part-time schedule, an artist looking for a full-time career, or anywhere in between, you really can create a career that works for you and your life.</span></p>
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Building Your Barbering Career</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Once licensed, barbers in Oregon have various career pathways to explore. Whether you dream of owning your barber shop, working in a high-end salon, or specializing in specific grooming services, the opportunities are plentiful. Here are some tips for building a successful career as a barber in Oregon:</span></p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b><i>Networking: </i></b><span style="font-weight: 400;">Build relationships with industry professionals, potential clients, and local businesses. Networking can lead to job opportunities, mentorship, and valuable connections within the community.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b><i>Continuing Education: </i></b><span style="font-weight: 400;">Stay updated with the latest trends, techniques, and products in the barber industry. Continuing education courses, workshops, and seminars can enhance your skills and expand your service offerings.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b><i>Professional Development: </i></b><span>Seek opportunities for professional growth, such as advanced training in specialized haircutting styles or certifications in barbering techniques. Continuous improvement is key to staying competitive in the evolving beauty and grooming industry.</span></li>
</ul>
<h2 id="4">4. Renew Your Certification Biannually</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The last thing to remember about being a barber in Oregon is that you will need to renew your certification biannually. Check the date on your barbering certificate to see what month it was issued. Renewal is due on the last day of that month two years after the issue. So, if you received your certificate on July 15th, 2022, you will need to renew your certification no later than July 31, 2024, and every two years after that.</span></p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>Beauty school or community college? Use our guide below to decide which type of education will fit best with your career goals.  </p>
<p>The post <a href="https://www.phagans.com/community-college-vs-beauty-school-whats-the-best-option/">Community College vs Beauty School: What’s The Best Option?</a> appeared first on <a href="https://www.phagans.com">Phagans School of Hair Design</a>.</p>
]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you are starting to think about your future or considering beauty as a career, you may be wondering what kind of education will serve you best. To study beauty there are a lot of options out there. Whether you are just out of high school or looking for a career change, getting an education will improve your chances of getting a job you love. And jobs in beauty can offer versatility and economic stability.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">But what type of education will help you achieve your beauty goals and which will be the better investment? The traditional college route might jump out at first, but don’t forget about beauty schools specifically <a href="https://www.avenuefive.edu/comparing-cosmetology-schools-to-regular-colleges/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">focused on training professionals</a>. Below we highlight some of the differences between each to help you in your decision. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Requirements and Future Goals</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">What is your vision of the future? Do you imagine yourself working at a high-end spa? Building up your own salon? Working from home? Considering your own goals for the future is important when thinking about what kind of education will benefit you the most. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you plan to go to college, you may also need to consider the application requirements. Many enrollments require a high school diploma, application form, and a required placement <a href="https://study.com/articles/what_are_the_requirements_to_enroll_in_a_community_college.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">test such as the SAT or ACT</a>. You may have to go through an orientation and registration for special courses. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Most beauty schools also require a high school diploma and application form, but don’t have many other items needed before enrollment, making the process a little smoother. Phagans <a href="/how-to-enroll/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">requires a photo ID</a> in addition to a high school diploma before applying. </span></p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3348" src="/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Phagans-college-vs-beauty.jpg" alt="diverse group of college students discuss over books and computer" width="1000" height="667" srcset="https://www.phagans.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Phagans-college-vs-beauty.jpg 1000w, https://www.phagans.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Phagans-college-vs-beauty-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.phagans.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Phagans-college-vs-beauty-768x512.jpg 768w, https://www.phagans.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Phagans-college-vs-beauty-960x640.jpg 960w, https://www.phagans.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Phagans-college-vs-beauty-800x534.jpg 800w, https://www.phagans.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Phagans-college-vs-beauty-525x350.jpg 525w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /></p>
<h2>Types of Training</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Consider the kind of education you will receive from each institution and what types of training will be needed in a future career. If you know your passion is for nails, a beauty school that offers a manicuring as part of the training will be much better and specific than general college courses. Phagans has dual courses like <a href="/courses/hair-design-nail-technology/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">hair design and nail technology</a> that provide training and education for both.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A college degree is perfect for students looking to dive deep into the academics behind beauty. This might include cosmetology instructors looking to gain more knowledge about the trends in the industry, or esthetics students who are focused on the more medical aspects of skincare. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For a more practical education, an accredited beauty school is an option better suited to students who want to get training and begin earning right away. A cosmetology school will teach not only the academic principles of hair chemistry and anatomy, but also the real-world skills of cutting hair, applying makeup, and more. It’s a faster, more <a href="/2019/08/28/five-reasons-to-choose-cosmetology-school-over-college/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">practical approach to education</a> that may set you up for success faster and without the added burden of college. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Time Commitments</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It’s no secret that attending college can be quite a commitment. They don’t call it a 1-year degree after all. At a beauty school, time commitments will vary based on courses and schedules, but are typically much less than earning a 4-year degree. Usually set out by hours, beauty schools are a great option for busy students who need more flexibility in their schedules. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">At Phagans, our course hours are based on the <a href="https://www.oregon.gov/OHA/PH/HLO/Pages/Board-Cosmetology.aspx" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">requirements set out by Oregon state</a>. There are also dual programs available that combine courses like nail technology and hair design that can prepare you for more. Think about what you hope to accomplish with your career and how much time you can put toward an education. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>A Question of Cost</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The cost of education will definitely play a role in your decision. Traditional college costs have increased in recent years, and even community colleges <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2019/04/12/tuition-at-community-colleges-is-3660-a-year-on-average.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">are feeling the effects</a>. With a longer time-commitment, tuition for school is often a hurdle many have to consider when it comes to education. Today grants, scholarships, and financial aid are helping to <a href="https://bigfuture.collegeboard.org/pay-for-college/college-costs/college-costs-faqs" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">make school more affordable</a>. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Beauty schools will require a tuition as well, but benefit from having financial aid available to those who qualify. From the <a href="https://studentaid.ed.gov/sa/fafsa" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Free Application for Federal Student Aid</a> (FAFSA)®, to Pell grants and loans, you have the opportunity to apply to different financial aid solutions. Phagans School of Hair Design also offers payment plans depending on student needs. <a href="/enrollment/managing-the-cost-of-education/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Learn more about financial aid</a> and talk to an admissions officer to get informed on the different options. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It’s important to remember that whatever route you choose, your education is an investment, and costs should be considered in the long-term. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></p>
<h2>Career Options</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Make note of your career goals going into beauty. There are so many options available within the industry. Attending an accredited cosmetology school and getting licensed through the state exam can <a href="https://www.communitycollegereview.com/blog/community-colleges-cosmetology-programs" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">qualify you to work</a> as a:</span></p>
<ul>
<li>Hair stylist</li>
<li>Salon owner</li>
<li>Salon manager</li>
<li>Beauty writer</li>
<li>Esthetician</li>
<li>Product specialist</li>
<li>Nail technician</li>
<li>Barber</li>
<li>Makeup artist </li>
<li>And so much more!</li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Decide how you want to focus your training and choose a program that prepares you for the work you want. College degrees can prepare you for similar work, but may not have the same salon training opportunities as a beauty school that offers paid services as part of the curriculum. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In a beauty school setting you also have the opportunity to network with peers who have similar aspirations and backgrounds. You will have a chance to get to know real salon owners and instructors who can be great references and resources for the future. </span><br />

<h2>Start Working Toward Your Dreams</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Don’t wait to get started on your education! Take time to decide which type of training will best suit your goals and career dreams. A traditional college degree can open a lot of doors, but may be better suited to different types of degrees.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If your focus is beauty and making your mark in the beauty world, cosmetology school might be a better option for students who want to get started and crave some hands-on training and real-world experience. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Phagans is eager to welcome students with a passion for beauty and have helped over 6,000 graduates already! <a href="/contact/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Contact us</a> today to book a school tour and to get started on your application. </span></p>

<h2>Career Possibilities</h2>

<p>Lash extensions are one of the <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Lifestyle/false-eyelashes-everyday-accessory-booming-market/story?id=55019597" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">latest trends</a> in the beauty industry, and their popularity just <a href="https://www.cosmopolitan.com/style-beauty/beauty/a22549289/lash-lifts-extensions-more-popular-mascara/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">keeps on growing</a>! Luscious lashes are in, and more and more people are getting extensions. Many licensed cosmetologists and estheticians find that this is the best path for their career, so they specialize in lashes.</p>
<p>Eyelash extension technicians have a variety of career opportunities available to them! Careers that you can pursue once you become a certified professional can include:</p>
<h3>Product representative</h3>
<p>Some lash technicians choose to work with a specific brand. They use the brand&#8217;s lashes and supplies and educate others about the products. They might also use social media to promote the brand.</p>
<h3>Freelance technician</h3>
<p>Many freelance technicians can find a book of clients by showcasing their work on Instagram! Word of mouth and social media are great ways to build a business in this field. If you scroll through #PortlandLashExtensions on Instagram, chances are you&#8217;ll find many local technicians building their businesses.</p>
<h3>Salon technician</h3>
<p>You might also find some salon technicians in your area on Instagram, because they also often use social media to build a clientele. These technicians may work at a salon specifically for lashes, or do lashes along with other beauty services at a full-service salon.</p>
<h3>Salon owner</h3>
<p>If you are interested in the business side of beauty, you may want to eventually own a salon! If that is your goal, the first steps are to get certified and then work on building a loyal clientele. </p>
<h3>Educator</h3>
<p>If you decide you want to share the lash love, there is a need for educators! You could work for a brand or school, teaching classes to new students or workshops for current artists. Even certified technicians need to be up-to-date on the latest techniques and trends!</p>
<p>Cosmetologists and estheticians who choose to perform lash extensions in addition to their other services are also in high demand. Clients may want to get multiple services done by the same beauty professional they know and love. Whether they want to get their waxing and lashes done together or come in for both a trim and a lash fill, clients often choose to go to a beauty professional for lashes in addition to other services.</p>
<h2>Could Doing Lashes Be Right For You?</h2>
<p>Maybe you know you love applying makeup or styling hair, but you&#8217;re not sure if you would like doing lashes. You might be a potential lash technician if you:</p>
<ul>
<li>Want to learn a skill that is popular and in-demand</li>
<li>Love getting to know new people</li>
<li>Enjoy helping others feel beautiful</li>
<li>Have been told you pay attention to details</li>
</ul>
<p>If any of those traits fit you, then you should definitely consider learning how to apply lash extensions! </p>
<h2>Prepare for Your Beauty Education</h2>
<p>At Phagans we strive to prepare our students for their careers after graduating from school. Teaching trendy topics and services like lash extensions can provide our students with skills that can help them succeed!  <a href="/contact/phagans-locations/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Contact us</a> to talk to an admissions representative about your potential opportunities in the beauty industry.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Step 1: Research Your Schools</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This step is pretty important because it can determine your future success. When researching your school, consider the following:</span></p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b><i>Location:</i></b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> If you plan on moving, do your research on the city that school is in. Ensure you choose a school in a city you feel comfortable moving to. Otherwise, try to choose a school within your city limits to cut down on travel time and expenses.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b><i>School programs:</i></b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Many beauty schools offer multiple programs including </span><a href="/courses/cosmetologyfull-course/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">cosmetology,</span></a> <a href="/courses/esthetics/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">esthetics</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, </span><a href="/courses/nails/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">nail design</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, and more. Really think about what you’d like to focus on, and how passionate you are about your chosen subject.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b><i>School authority:</i></b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> There are many beauty schools in the world to choose from, and Oregon is no exception. Here is where you will need to visit each potential school’s website and look into </span><a href="/about/facts-about-our-school/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">placement rates, graduation rates, and licensure rates</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. Make sure they are </span><a href="/about/facts-about-our-school/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">accredited</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, and that you can see yourself succeeding at your chosen school.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b><i>Tuition:</i></b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Do your research to figure out how you will be able to pay for your tuition. Does the school offer </span><a href="/enrollment/beauty-school-tuition-and-costs/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">financial aid or scholarships</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">? Can you make payments, and how much is the total cost? Get your finances in order before you sign up.</span></li>
</ul>
<p><a href="/about/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Phagans School of Hair Design</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> strives to provide its students with the necessary tools to not only complete their training, but to be prepared to pass the state exam and obtain a job in their chosen field of study. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Now that you’ve chosen to come study with us, it’s time to get the ball rolling!</span></p>
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Step 2: Sign Up</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This is the best part! You are just beginning your journey and you likely can’t wait to get started! Many schools will have you </span><a href="http://www.phagans.com/contact/request-enrollment-information/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">contact them</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> and from there set up a time for you to meet and tour the school. Visiting campus is the best way to see what the school has to offer. During your tour, you’ll be able to meet with a member of the team and answer any questions you may have. A tour is the perfect opportunity for you to get to know the school, and for the school to get to know you. Make sure you are checking all the boxes during this step so you don’t miss any necessary information.</span></p>
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Step 3: Complete Your Training</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The state of Oregon requires that students must complete 1835 school hours to obtain their cosmetology license. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Make sure that during your time with Phagans, you are arriving to your courses on time, you are dressed appropriately, and you are in a mindset to truly learn and grow with us. The effort you put into your education will come back tenfold. Our instructors are dedicated to producing job-ready graduates, and we hope our students have a similar mindset.</span></p>

<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Step 4: Take the Exam</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Visit </span><a href="http://www.oregon.gov/oha/PH/HLO/Pages/Board-Cosmetology-Hair-Design-License.aspx"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Oregon.gov</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> to find the required IDs, practice exams, and office hours for taking the exam. Make sure you are choosing to take the written exam for the correct emphasis (i.e. cosmetology vs. barbering).</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In addition to completing your hours with Phagans, you can study for your exam by downloading Oregon’s practice exams, asking to practice on friends and family, and asking for additional training from our professional instructors. We believe each of our students can pass the state exam.</span></p>
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Step 5: Begin Your Career Search</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Congratulations! You have successfully passed the state exam and are likely ready to begin showing your skills to the world! We understand how eager you are, and we want to help you find a career that will be rewarding for you for many years. Cosmetology can be a very rewarding and satisfying career. We’re excited to see where you take it! </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The best way to begin finding a career that fits is to explore the </span><a href="/portland-hair-salons/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">list of hair salons</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> in and around Portland. You can either apply online, or visit them in person. For a great guide on how to interview better, you can read this article by </span><a href="http://careerassessmentsite.com/career-resource-center/interview-tips/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Career Assessment</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Step 6: Improve Your Craft</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The beauty industry is ever-changing. There are always new techniques and skills to learn in the world of cosmetology. That means that those within the community should be growing with it. You should always be pushing yourself to be better, but you can do even better by looking for new trends and shadowing others who have been in the industry longer than you. Try to push your limits. Try to explore new ideas. These are the ways that you can be successful, and ways that you can build your clientele.</span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Cosmetology school is usually a combination of classroom education and hands-on learning. The day to day depends on how far along the student is in the program. Newer students spend almost all of their time in the classroom, while experienced students spend most of their time on the salon floor. Programs and hours will vary from school to school, but most include a number of hours that need to be completed before the student can pass the state board licensing exam. Cosmetology schools make it their priority to prepare students for this exam so they can practice cosmetology within their state.</p>
<p><span id="more-1771"></span></p>
<h2>How Much Time Will I Spend at Cosmetology School?</h2>
<p>How much time you spend at your beauty school depends on the program you choose. Most beauty school students tend to go full-time. They’ll spend around eight hours a day five days a week at the school working toward completing their program hours. Many schools will offer more flexible scheduling that can allow students to attend part-time with morning or evening classes. </p>
<p>The other factor to consider is the number of program hours required to complete the program at your school. Some cosmetology programs have hair, nails, and skin combined together in a single program that can have more program hours to complete. Other programs, usually named “hairdressing” or “hairstyling” courses only cover hair. These programs will often have fewer program hours.</p>
<p>Each state across the country has its own cosmetology board that determines the number of program hours required to complete a course. Oregon state, where Phagans is located, requires the following hours for each respective program:</p>
<ul>
<li>Hair Design &#8211; 1150 hours</li>
<li>Barbering &#8211; 786 hours</li>
<li>Esthetics &#8211; 600 hours</li>
<li>Nail Technology &#8211; 281 hours</li>
</ul>
<p>Phagans offers courses for all of these different licenses, and each of them meet or exceed the state-required minimum hours. We try to help our students be as ready as possible to sit for their licensing exams!</p>
<p>Choosing a cosmetology program can be intimidating, so be sure to research schools and programs thoroughly. You might want to select part-time evening classes if you already have to work a job, or maybe full-time classes if you have that freedom so you can finish sooner. Find what works for you and go for it!</p>

<h2> What Will I Learn in Cosmetology School?</h2>
<p>Cosmetology school covers many things! While all beauty school programs are different, most of them keep a similar core education. The majority of programs cover everything from cuts and color to theory and chemistry. Nails and skin are often included in cosmetology programs, but it’s important to check the details of your particular program to make sure the topics you are interested in are covered.</p>

<li>
<h2>Schedule a Tour</h2>
<p>The first step to becoming a beauty school student at Phagans is to schedule a <a href="http://www.phagans.com/contact/request-enrollment-information/">tour</a> of the school. You can do this <a href="http://www.phagans.com/contact/request-enrollment-information/">online</a> or by calling <a href="tel:5038580469">503-858-0469</a> to set up a tour. If you fill out the form on our website, a career planner will contact you to set up a time for a tour. Get the ball rolling by setting up your tour. We bet you’ll love it!</li>
<li>
<h2>Take Your Tour</h2>
<p>When you come in for your tour the career planner can answer any questions you may have. They can give you the details on each <a href="http://www.phagans.com/courses/">program</a>, how long it takes, and what you’ll need to do to become licensed. You can walk around the campus and see where you’ll be studying and working. The career planner will introduce you to instructors, other students, and maybe even the owner. During your tour you’ll be able to see what the culture of Phagans is like and if it’s a place where you think you could learn and grow.</li>
<li>
<h2>Planning</h2>
<p>Most, if not all, of our students have other things going in life while they are going to beauty school. Work and family are a couple common examples. When you come in for your tour our career planner can help you build a personalized plan. The goal is to help you find a way to achieve your goals of <a href="http://www.phagans.com/how-to-enroll/">building a new career</a> on a schedule that works for you!</li>

They can show you where to apply for financial aid and explain the steps to make it easy.

Let us help you find out how to pay for your education. We’ll show you that it’s totally possible!</li>
</ol>
