We can’t think of anything better than when a Phagans graduate follows their dreams and has a successful career. It was an obvious choice to have Dinah Ritchey as our first choice to be our Phagans All-Star! Dinah is a wonderful example of chasing your dreams and never giving up on yourself. Dinah graduated from Phagans in 2003 with a full cosmetology license, and right after dove into her career that led to her owning her successful salon, Urban Colorz. It was awesome to be able to take some time out of the our day and chat with Dinah about how she turned her passion into a successful career.

It’s 2018, and it’s officially time to book your next hair color appointment. You need a change like we all do. After 2017 we have all decided that it’s time to just take it easy.

This year we expect to see hundreds of ways to creatively dye our hair. Today we have gathered some of our favorite looks.

There are many important things to consider when thinking about enrolling in a barbering program. If barbering is something that you’re interested in, you need to know what a program offers and what makes it unique in order to decide if it’s the right fit for you. Phagans School of Hair Design offers a barbering program that is designed to train excellent barbers who can pass the state board and potentially make a fabulous career with their skills.

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.
