"EC Academy was my first and only choice when it came to my education. I needed a school that fit my personality - bold, modern and clean. The teachers here treat you with respect and kindness given you do what is needed of you. The facility is top-notch, the programs and incentives are amazing! EvelineCharles Academy wants us to be business orientated, respected and recognized stylists with all opportunities open and available including programs such as Sassoon ABC's of cutting, Nuts & Bolts and NAIT business programs are just a few of the extras I get here that will set me apart from other hair stylists. - Dillon Nickel
Calgary Fashion made its way to the EvelineCharles Academy open house on May 28 and was quite impressed by their lovely learning facilities and warm welcoming.
With schools already in Edmonton and Vancouver, the EC Academy now opens its doors in downtown Calgary at the CORE Shopping Centre atop the already existing EvelineCharles Salons & Spas and across the newly opened H&M.
The EC Academy is of Sassoon School connection (the name comes from Vidal Sassoon - a British hair stylist of international reputation for his simple yet stylish "bob-cut") and offers a variety of classes in the hair, beauty & cosmetic industry.
Professional Advanced Esthetics and Cosmetology (Hair Design) are offered as three-day week programs and enables students to balance work, school & life. The school also offers evening & part-time programs in Make-Up Artistry, Gel Nail Artistry, Complete Facials, Complete Nail Technician, Hair Removal, Esthetic Fundamentals and Manicuring & Pedicuring.
Marketing and PR coordinator, Jacqueline Tyler, and EC Academy manager Domingo Lumanog greeted us with tea and cupcakes and proceeded to giving us a private tour of the academy. The school is modernly furnished with equipment of top quality and is divided into specialized sections.
The main open room is installed like a hair salon except with a lot more seats and mirrors creating a student-friendly environment . The far room is reserved for skin esthetics and waxing while a completely separate room on the far left is reserved and perfectly equipped for practicing manicures & pedicures.
The EvelineCharles Academy is one of the top schools in Canada catering to the hair, beauty & cosmetic industry and is sure to attract many local and international students: the school brings world renowned industry leaders such as Stephen Moody, Lori Nestore (The Wax Queen) and Vivienne Mackinder and students enrolled in hair-related programs automatically receive a flight & accommodation package to an international hair show (in which EC Academy students usually excel in) as part of their tuition.
The Calgary EC Academy starts accepting students at the end June and will start offering discounted services in hair, skin, waxing and nail esthetics as part of the students' way of practicing their developing skills on clients.
