Evelinecharles Academy Calgary

Amazing experience. Very professional. My hair looked amazing!

The instructor could not care less what you came in asking for, the student didnt know the first thing about hair even though she’s supposedly finishing in two months (I asked for a blowout and she takes out the straightener??? And when I say no I want more volume she attempts to measily curl parts of the hair) Extremely, unbelievably incompetent. Please advise your teachers to be less cold and have less on attitude. Also maybe go over how a trim doesn’t mean chop off LITERALLY half of the customers hair off. They also had the nerve to push their products not once, not twice, but three times. Not to mention it wasn’t cheap, ~$100.

Don't support this academy Eveline herself is just a joke they are setting students up for faliure

Students are kind and friendly. Staff seem really curt.
I went for balayage and colour (purple hidden underneath). The purple wasn't left on long enough and the balayage was a disaster. There was a noticeable pattern on my hair. The student noticed and mentioned something discreetly to the instructor. She said no one would notice and rather than pointing it out to me and allowing me to decide, the instruction "hid" it with curls. (The student had offered to show me how to curl it before). I was very upset about this behaviour of the instructor.

The salon booked me a corrective session when I went back and complained. The second student attempted to fix it. It still looks funny, but the purple is more even and the patter in the balayage is less noticeable.

I think this is a good place for learning and the price is great.
If you have an event or something special you really want to look amazing for, I would suggest trying the salon rather than the academy.

I was a model for a hair student at EC.
I have never seen with my own eyes such unprofessional and abusive treatment of students. A red haired instructor told my hairstylist her Mohawk was "ugly" and that she was not allowed to use it. After that she called her look "super racist" because she wanted to incorporate blue and purple feathers... I was supposed to represent a bird. This was all done in front of me and her classmates as well as other models. I was shocked and embarrassed! The uncomfortable atmosphere had me wanting to just get it all over with, the only reason I did not walk out was because that would have been even more harmful to my hairstylist who had been through enough. They have no respect for their students or themselves.
