OG’s School of Hair Design (OG’s) offers a total learning environment encompassing the traditional and non-traditional forms of education and training in the art and science of barbering and hair design. Our mission is to provide an environment that will meet the needs of a very diverse group of individuals, and to make sure that the students succeed by requiring that they achieve and maintain “A Standard of Excellence” that will aid them in passing the State Board examination, succeed in the workplace, and support the community and surrounding Central Texas area by providing the highest standard of services at affordable prices.

We proudly provide quality instructions to our students and excellent services to the community. We teach the art and science of cutting all types of hair, as well as the ‘Theory of Hair Coloring’, ‘Theory of All Chemical Services’, and preparation for the State Board Examination.
