PLAN YOUR PATH
Preparation, time and schedule
Before you apply
The January 2026 catalog sets an entry age of 18. Review its education-document requirements and admissions interview process before paying the application fee.
Your complete timeline
320 clock hours. Prior credits, prerequisite placement and course availability can change your personal completion date.
Plan around the schedule
Ask for your actual weekly timetable and completion date, including breaks, attendance requirements and any approved distance component. A clock-hour total is not a guaranteed calendar duration.
Application and selection
Use the school’s current intake information and enrollment agreement. Ask about program-specific financial aid eligibility and the refund policy before signing.
Details checked September 15, 2026. Confirm current requirements with the provider.
Questions to take to an advisor
Does detailed hand work appeal to me, and what ventilation and infection-control practices will I learn?
- 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
Published components; build your full budget
January 2026 catalog total: $7,102, including listed tuition, kit, manual, uniform, books/LAB and application/enrollment fees. Confirm current charges. Budget separately for licensing, travel and living expenses; do not count included supplies twice.

This is the same historical cosmetology-field certificate figure on all four Phagans specialization profiles. It pools certificate lengths and specialties; it is not a separate result for hair design, barbering, nails or esthetics. No exact-program earnings are separately verified here.

College Scorecard covers federally aided completers who were working and not enrolled. This related field can combine programs and institutional branches; it is not an exact-program, campus-specific or current starting-pay figure. It is not directly comparable with Census outcomes because the population and dollar year differ.
