PLAN YOUR PATH
Preparation, time and schedule
Before you apply
Ask for the current enrollment packet, entry-age and diploma/GED requirements, and the exact completion award. Tour the teaching clinic to understand how practice is supervised.
Your complete timeline
1,200 hours · about 8 months full-time. Prior credits, prerequisite placement and course availability can change your personal completion date.
Plan around the schedule
The provider describes full-time and part-time options. Its published sequence is a school estimate; ask for the days, weekly hours and service requirements that apply to your intake.
Application and selection
Confirm the next intake and written enrollment terms. Ask which funding sources are accepted for this particular course; monthly payments are not the same as a grant.
Details checked September 15, 2026. Confirm current requirements with the provider.
Questions to take to an advisor
Would I enjoy precision work, conversations with clients and repeated practice on different hair types?
- Which required courses or placements are offered only once per year?
- Can you give me a written estimate covering every required term and practical expense?
- Which employment, transfer or licensing requirements remain after this award?
Published program length is not a personal completion estimate. Transfer credits, prerequisites, selection and course availability can change the timeline.
After the program
School completion and Oregon practitioner certification are separate. Check the Health Licensing Office requirements for this specific field. A short specialty course does not automatically expand your permitted services.
Cost and outcomes
State-listed estimate; confirm current enrollment quote
HECC’s directory lists a $13,450 estimate for Gorge Academy hair design. The full-time listing describes 900 hours, while the provider program information used here describes 1,200 hours. This is related price context, not a verified quote for the 1,200-hour route. No price year is shown. Confirm the matching course, itemized current price, licensing/exam charges and supplies; add transportation and living expenses.
Published tuition or budget base
HECC LEARN estimates $13,450 for its Hair Design listing, with 900 hours in the full-time detail. The provider route reviewed here lists 1,200 hours. No price year is displayed, so the scope and current price require confirmation. Search “Gorge Academy” and open “Hair Design, Full-time” to inspect the listing.
