PLAN YOUR PATH
Preparation, time and schedule
Before you apply
The reviewed page lists age 18, high-school completion or equivalent, a school tour and enrollment paperwork.
Your complete timeline
The provider describes academic classes, lab projects and client practice in haircutting, styling and related salon work. Ask for a term-by-term plan that includes prerequisites, transfer decisions and application timing.
Plan around the schedule
Confirm the hair-design cohort at Medford and its complete schedule; campus opening hours are not your class timetable.
Application and selection
The reviewed page lists age 18, high-school completion or equivalent, a school tour and enrollment paperwork. Apply through the provider’s program-specific process and confirm the next cohort before paying fees.
Details checked September 15, 2026. Confirm current requirements with the provider.
Questions to take to an advisor
What is the exact hour requirement and total price for the Medford hair-design cohort?
- What is included in the written price, and what would I pay separately?
- What support is available if my work schedule, disability accommodations or family responsibilities affect attendance?
Published program length is not a personal completion estimate. Transfer credits, prerequisites, selection and course availability can change the timeline.
After the program
Confirm the Oregon hair-design certification route and scope of practice. School completion does not automatically issue a practitioner certificate; business ownership adds separate obligations.
Cost and outcomes
Published costs; confirm your current enrollment quote
Use the published amount below as a starting point, then add excluded expenses and account for any later price changes. Compare your personal cost after confirmed grants and scholarships.
Published tuition or budget base
The currently linked 2025 handbook lists 1,150 hours and $18,551 total: $16,100 tuition, $1,752 kit, $599 books and $100 registration. Confirm the current Medford enrollment price; licensing, travel and living expenses are extra.
