The Phagans School of Hair Design Difference

We know how important it is for you to find the right cosmetology school. At Phagans School of Hair Design, we go beyond the basics to provide a learning environment you can thrive in. Here are just a few ways our school sets itself apart:

• Family Environment: Our school is locally-owned and family-run. We’re not just one tiny part of a national chain. As a student, you can get the best of both worlds – a professional, quality experience within a local community that cares.
• Extra-Curricular Enrichment: Phagans is very involved with the local Portland-area community and the events that take place there. Enrich your learning with extra-curricular activities like the annual Portland Fashion and Style Awards!
• Business Training: Did you know that about one-third of all beauty professionals are self-employed? That’s why we prepare our students for industry success with business and marketing training.
• Alumni Connections: Our school maintains relationships with many of our alumni. We even invite alumni back to teach master classes and provide mentorship to current students. Gain knowledge from those who have been there, and expand your professional network to help you land your dream job!

At Phagans, in addition to providing our students with quality education, we want to help them find a successful career in beauty or barbering. We want our students to feel empowered that they chose the right cosmetology school. Check out the great turnout we had at the Phagans School of Hair Design Second Annual Career Fair.
