I’m a recent graduate of Johnny Matthews in the hair design program. I chose to come here after moving from Washington and looking at schools in the area. I’m specializing in chemical texture services such as Brazilian Blowouts and perms. This school gave me the confidence to be able to work in a salon after I graduate and I’m happy to be gaining my licensure soon.

My overall experience here at Johnny Matthews has been nothing but great. The instructors are very helpful and willing to go out of their way to ensure you get the proper education you need. I came in for the barbering program and coming to this institute has expanded my knowledge very much. I recommend this school to anyone wanting to obtain their license in not only barbering but the hair design. You can find me on Instagram @geeefademeup for any questions regarding my experience and for a service.

My schooling experience here at Johnny Matthew’s has been beyond joyful and helpful in my journey to success. It has helped me explore more about my skill set as a Barber and overall personality as a whole, as well as brought lots of great people and myself together, which has allowed us to make great memories during our time here. Being at this school has helped me become more assertive and grasp the opportunities when put in front of me. I plan to take everything I’ve gained here along with me, as I continue my Barbering Career outside of school and provide an experience that every client that sits in my chair can’t get enough of. You can follow the next steps I take from here and on, on Instagram @cuttacozy, thank you !

I am a recent graduate of Johnny Matthews, and oh my goodness - what an experience! I have had such a good time learning, practicing, and creating during my time at this school. The education and the hands on learning is very fulfilling and well-rounded and the ability the program gives you to have a hand in creating your own path is very beneficial.I would recommend this school as the first step in anyones career building if the hair industry is your choice of trade!

I’m a barber student at Johnny Matthews, and on my way out the door. What I’ve enjoyed most about this school is learning the art of fading from the other students, several of whom started cutting friend’s hair in high school, and bring a lot of prior experience. In part because the barbers work together in “barber alley,” there is a definite barber culture, which I’ve enjoyed. The owners both have so much heart and the instructors are willing to work with students where they’re at. I appreciate that the environment is relaxed enough that you don’t feel like someone’s always breathing down your neck. They also put a lot of emphasis on professional development and business which I believe is an advantage to students who attend here.

I attended the hair design program February 2019- September 2019. Johnny Matthews was a great place to learn and build up my skill in haircoloring and styling. The curriculum was easy to learn and apply to what I was doing. Also, the one on one with the instructors made perfecting my craft more obtainable and less stressful. This school helped me to become confident as a stylist and ready to entire the community with my new skills.#@trinbehindthechair

This is my third time at Johnny Matthews. I booked my appointment online with Lacey. I love seeing people learn new things.Lacey is a newer student but her openness to learn was evident. I mention that because the caliber of work that is done by students is evidence of the leadership from the top down. These students are taught well, and they are not afraid to ask questions of their instructors. They respect their leadership. I am always impressed by the response and interaction of the instructors. Johnny, one of the instructors, is always willing to help, give gentle guidance and makes his students feel like they are amazing and they can conquer anything.Lacey listened to what I wanted, made suggestions and flat-out did an outstanding job. I will be back and Lacey has a new customer for her time at the school and beyond! A+++

My name is Rebecca Bordwell, and I attended Johnny Matthews hair school excited, but also very worried about drama, and all the rest of the concerns that come along with “beauty school”. I am now graduating and can honestly say it was the best thing I have done for myself! I am now graduating as a colorist which was just a dream 9 months ago. Johnny Matthews taught me so much more then just cuts and chemical services, they taught me how to be a confident person, and how valuable it is to have a “team”. If you are on the fence about attending, at least give them a try and have a tour. You can also check out any of my work on my Instagram page @becca.behindthechair

I spent six months in the barber program at Johnny Matthews. Prior to starting, I was feeling confused about what my career path would be. The staff was extremely helpful and supportive through the enrollment process all the way until my graduation date. If you are looking to jumpstart a new career, Johnny Matthews is the place to go!! I am now confident in my career choice & excited to take the barber world by storm. If your looking for a haircut, I am your gal!! Follow my instagram at “the.barber.b.” Lastly, thanks to all of the staff & peers I met through Johnny Matthews that we’re willing to help me grow both as a person and a barber! 10/10 would recommend this school!!

They did an amazing job on my color and extensions! Obviously took longer than a non school salon but the work was better ! I was going to the top person and salon in town now I’ll be back here. The instructors were a great help to the students as well although the only thing I’ll mention is they wanted to tone my extensions after they taped them which I personally would recommend because any other time I’ve gotten extensions you do not get them wet for a day or two but they listened to my request to tone them separate. I’d gladly trust these students and instructors again. Lovely experience and school.

I had a great experience at this school and I really believe that if you take advantage of the tools and resources provided at this school that anyone can be a successful hairdresser/barber. I am fully confident that I will succeed in this industry and am very thankful for the great instructors that have provided their knowledge to me.

So I went in today first time since the pandemic and since a friend of mine ended their schooling there to find out that they have almost doubled their price of student cuts from $8 to now $14...I was also disappointed to see at least half the people (both students and clients) not following mask mandates inside the building, including the 19 year old girl that had cut my hair while I wore a mask the entire time, though as far as the quality of the job she had done, she did well and I did still leave a tip for her but...for the same price I paid including my tip I could have went to an actual salon vs a student and paid the same amount and been put in less risk of exposure to virus. (as a higher risk person) Being a school I would have thought they would take more concern in complying to the safety of their clients and students by enforcing the mask useage.

I completed my hair design course here at Johnny Mathews in August of 2018, it’s truly a great school! I obtained the highest level of student nearly my entire time enrolled. The instructors made it easy to comprehend color theory, and haircutting skills.

Hi, my name is Ulises Salazar i am a former level 4 student of Johnny Matthews, I came into the program of barbering in February of 2020 with some hair cutting experience. Even though I knew the basic fundamentals of cutting hair, the instructors and other students really helped me expand my knowledge and explore different techniques that have built the barber that I am today. I am now proficient in cutting both men and women’s hair, I would say my shear work is the best it’s ever been and I also acquired high level hair styling skills, I would highly recommend coming to Johnny Matthews if you would like to pursue this career, and if you would like to see my work follow me at : uli.thebarber on Instagram.

Went here for a perm and haircut today. I wasnt able to get the perm as they were honest about how my hair might hold it. My haircut was great however! I love it and would recommend this place to friends! My sister-in-law also came with me, however, and although her color correction turned out great, we would have appreciated a more accurate price list as it ended up being a lot more than expected. A price list online would be great!

Johnny Matthew’s is a great place to attend if you’re interested in a career in the beauty industry.

I’m a level 3 barber here at JM and I specialize in bald fades & designs. I liked my team here as they motivated me and encouraged me to get out of my comfort zone. Which led to me placing 2nd at a hair expo for a best fade competition. I’ve met some huge inspirations, one being former JM student and master barber Eric Tolento. this school holds tremendous talent and I’m glad to have been up there with some of the past graduates.

Thanks to Johnny Matthews and all of the instructors here, Ive established a well rounded foundation for my career in Hair Design in less than one year. I moved to Salem from Cincinnati a little over a year ago, and knew I was interested in the school before making the transition. My hopes were high in regards to what the school had to offer and my expectations were met entirely. I enjoyed a good mix of independence as well as discipline, both of which have enhanced the skills I am walking out with. I am extremely grateful to Matthew, Johnny, and all other employees under the name of this establishment and what they have taught me will stick with me for the rest of my life and my career. I am proud to say that I already have a part time job set up at the Backstage Salon in downtown Salem and I am thrilled to see what my future has in store.

Im REALLY hoping to get a refund..a few days ago I called to get an all over hair color and I requested a specific student who I ended up not getting because she came back from lunch way to late and so I got handed off to someone else, which ok whatever. But I literally just got one color all over.. No hair cut, no styling, no extra treatments and it was supposed to be $30 like their sign said, and yet it came out to $90! For someone whos on a budget and actually liked Johnny Matthews as a school I was shocked that I ended up having to pay salon price for a student to do ONE COLOR all over (and my hair is only shoulder length)..

I am a student at Johnny Matthews, and while I have been here I have learned more than I thought possible. I moved hundreds of miles to come to this school, and I believe it was completely worth it. Both Johnny and Matthew have taken their individual time with me to teach me skills that most school dont teach. It is a very hands on school, that has a professional salon atmosphere. The tools and products that we use are some of the best in the world. In addition to learning great skills we learn about retailing, which will give us an edge when we enter the professional world. They push us to be the best hair designers and barbers out there. Overall my experience has been phenomenal here at Johnny Matthews. If you are wanting to be an incredible hair dresser or barber this is the place to go!

I’m a current barber student here at Johnny Matthew’s. Right now I am in the final stretch and about to leave here to become a licensed professional. When I first started school I knew absolutely nothing about hair. I barely even knew how to style my own! However, with the help of my instructors and the people around me I was able to master my craft. I’ve gained an incredible amount of knowledge both in hair and life in general. I feel like Johnny Mathew’s has really helped me gain confidence and grow as a person. If anybody is in the position where they want a positive change in their life, looking to master a skill to make money, and have fun doing it. I would highly recommend enrolling at Johnny Mathew’s Hairdressing Training School. You can check out my work and book with me @young_thebarber on Instagram.

Enrolling Johnny Mathews was one of the best decisions I ever made. With only a limited amount of money left to my name, I decided to invest it into achieving my biggest dreams. I was only a level 1 when I attended but I pushed myself. I graduated a level 4. I learned so much while attending, I even mastered requirements that I didn’t think I could. Everyone became more than just classmates, they became friends. Everyone who comes across this should definitely check out Johnny Mathews and come give everyone a chance to practice on your hair!

Before I started at Johnny Matthews, I had no direction in life. When I started, I didnt have much confidence in myself. But less than a year later, I become the only level 4 barber in school (aka the best), my own portfolio at @ben_fadetoblack on Instagram, and I already have a job lined up for me at Backstage Salon.

Because of these guys, I got the confidence boost that I havent had in years.

I came to Johnny Matthews to refine my style and build my talent. I started cutting my sons hair in our kitchen like my dad used to for us. I decided to make it my passion and Johnny Matthews helped me achieve that. I built up my skills with other barbers learning how to provide hot towel shaves and gentlemens grooming. The education provided broadened my skills beyond gentlemans services to be able to provide long hair cuts or blow outs. I truly feel versatile and ready to start my career and growth at Backstage Barbering in the Reed Opera House. You can follow me @olythebarber on Instagram.

I was a student at Johnny Matthews, from April to December, and in the time I was there, I achieved level three status as well as obtained an international license for barbering, with credentials to professionally practice in the state of Oregon. The staff at Johnny Matthews was great and always had a cheerful and professional attitudes. With the skills I learned from attending this barber program has set me up for a life long career in an industry that has fascinated me for years. If you have ever been into this school and experienced quality service, I will be carrying that with me in my professional career. Follow me on Instagram @The_Executive_Contour

I attended Johnny Matthews and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to be a hairdresser! I went to two other schools before I came to Johnny Matthews and I got the most experience and training with the up to date trends here. At Johnny Matthews you receive advanced training to become a master stylist with the best instructors. If you are looking to become a stylist I would choose Johnny Matthews above anywhere else!

Im giving a 2 because the girl who did my hair is my sister and for being a level 2 she really accomplish for the most part what I wanted. Or else I would have given a 1. How ever there were lots of downs with my appointment. The head instructor told my sister she should not be putting that kind of work because she was going to leave my hair orange. Then after my hair got to a level 9 and I was getting the color applied and my hair was not changing color I asked my sister and she was like I know im wondering that too. She told me she had made a color and that Megan (the instructor at time)told her not to use that and instead instructed her what to mix. When I asked Megan she was confused and said she thought I wanted my hair icy blonde, then I showed her a picture of what I was going for ( silver lavender) then she began to explain my hair was not at a level where the color I wanted would take and that like she had said I may need to go again. To that I told her that the issue was there was no color and that my sister had mix something and Why was that not used? She then said she had never used that. Well for one she obviously didn’t know what I wanted even though my sister told her at the beginning of the appointment. Well after all of that she told my sister she could just get the color from some store to which my sister told her I was already spending money, and her reply was it was only $5. Yes it’s only $5 but I payed $340 for a color of hair I did not ask for. Then my sister told her thats not the point, so then Megan offer me to go back the following day to fix it. After that my sister was going to wash the dye off and the lights were turned off then set to a lower light level. My sister then told me she had to let me go with wet hair because the instructor had to leave right at 7pm. When I left there was still another customer there and yet I had to leave with wet hair. I felt bad for my sister because shes there to learn and yet instead of receiving encouragement and advice she got opposite, especially from Megan. Not only that, but the fact that She did not know how to guide the appointment and was rushing my sister because she wanted to leave. Also there was issues with pricing and after spending $340 and not getting a good service from the instructor was upsetting. I did go back the next day and after figuring out color because they did not have the color I wanted I left happy with my result, but I will not be returning because of what happened the day before. I feel bad that as a sister I left with such a bad impression I can’t help my sister through the school because there’s was so much more drama than what I wrote. I will say go get your hair done by Karen! Just watch out for Megan.

I came into this school as a transfer student from the Paul Mitchell school in Reno, NV and this school is amazing! This school helped me jump into a new environment. Even though I dont know anyone in the area, I was getting walkins daily! I recommend this school to anyone wanting to go into the hair design industry!

I had a wonderful cut from Carli yesterday! Just went in for a simple trim and loved the service. I was taken at my appointment time, and was out of there in an hour.I paid $10 for the cut (to the salon) and $10 tip (goes to the stylist).I have been to this salon about 5 times and only had one experience I didnt love. So your results can depend on which stylist you are with. That being said, I am also not very picky when it comes to my hair. If youre nervous but want a great cut, request Carli!
