Reviews of MC College (College)

samantha klicper

Everyone was super nice, kind and friendly. I got my hair trimmed and styled by a student there and he did a great job.

My experience here was terrible. When I booked the appointment on the phone for a colour correction, I was informed this would cost $40-$60 and take 1-2.5 hours. Once I arrived there, it took them 1.5 hours to consult with the instructor and figure out how to do my hair the way I hoped. I was then told it would cost a starting fee of $110 and increase if more colouring was needed. This would take an additional 6 hours to complete. I left and went to my regular hair dresser 1 week later. She completed this colour correction + a cut and style, in less than 2 hours and for a flat fee of $95. I would never try the MC College again due to service, time and expense.

I went to get eyelash extensions done here with a friend and I did not have a good experience. To my surprise, most of my eyelashes fell out within the first week, despite following all aftercare instructions. We had lash refill appointments booked today at 9:30AM. At 9:06AM, while we were parking, we were called and informed that there were no longer enough students available for both our appointments. This lack of responsibility is unacceptable and therefore I won’t be returning. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

Stefanie Decker

Wonderful service thank you!

Kellie schwabe

Every time I come here I have such a great experience, but today was by far one of my favorite experiences! Kellie did red balayage in my hair and gave my hair a little trim. Not only was the end product amazing, my stylist was excited about her work and clearly passionate about what she does. I left the salon feeling beautiful and happy! I really need to try the nail salon here one day!

Sara Zabihi

Love the Haircuts Thanks Luna

Alicia Holder

Very unorganized, you're confused the whole time. The school is understaffed and extremely bad at communicating. You'll never meet the head coordinator.

Samantha

Went with a bridal party to get our hair done, the ladies we had did such wonderful jobs!! 1 updo, 3 curly half up/down dos, plus 1 short hair style-all in less than 2hrs! The ladies we had did great, were so friendly and helpful, plus our hair helps them learn for cheap!! Each of us only paid $20, that is such a deal for how pretty our hair turned out!! Can't recommend these students enough!

I am thinking to not wasting my time updating my review, but I had to write it so people can see the salon better through my experience. I went there a few times, I had try a haircut, color, treatment, massage, pedicure, and facial. (honestly, they price is cheap. that is why I want to try it). This salon is a student learning salon, sometimes you got the WORST student, sometimes if you lucky you got the experience one. (You can ask for experience (almost finish their study) one). 1st time I went there for haircut & I got the experience one and she is amazing! The cut is just what I want, she gave lot's of hair treatment, she style my hair beautifully. 2nd time is for color & I got kind of new one. I had a virgin hair at that time. The color is look cheap! blotchy here and there. (not happy) 3rd time I decided to fix the color there again and asking for a blonde (they charge me $125, almost double the price because I asked for experience student). and they did reached blonde color just almost to my root and a solid dark blonde to the root (that is so ugly and I need to go back there and asking for a blending, and the instructor is the one who did it for me because the student were not there at that time). 4th time is haircut that is MAKE ME DONT WANT TO GO BACK. the little girl has a tiny cover that is different from mc college cover. I asked for a trim and she cut my hair just like she playing to cut the Barbie hair (I don't call it haircut, I also don't call it a trim). she cut so little (maybe bcz she is nervous) and she asked the instructor so many times and still not sure so she just go ahead, pull my hair 5 times and do the 1 inch cut for 5 times 5 TIMES! 1,2,3,4,5 cut! my hair left uneven but because I had awesome layer haircut before I went there, so her cut is NOT NOTICABLE! I ask for straight hair as a style and the way she flat iron my hair is just pull a bunch of hair with her hair (without combing) and directly flat iron it. I told her that is not the way to do it and teach her the right way and she look don't like it and keep doing it! (I learned from my mistake and become their guinea pig) The rest is for treatment which is ok. I go for a head massage and hair mask, no complain. I also went for facial, which is ok too. as long you don't have any problem with your face (like acne) you will be fine. Massage is just a relaxation massage and nothing special but relaxing. pedicure I am not happy because they did not dry it and just let me go with a wet nail. so... of course the nail polish is just messy after that. so good luck when you go there

I have said yes to an appointment - Colour and streaks to be done by my young niece going to this school - hoping all goes well! Will post review AFTERWARDS!

Lennea Schiffner

I have been coming here for 15 years it’s the only place I go always so nice and friendly and I actually get what I ask for and it does not cost an arm and a leg

Kate

Litterally the worst hair experience I’ve ever had. They should not be letting some people cut hair. Didn’t do what I asked at all. Barely spoke English. It looked terrible. I will not be coming back.

Juliette Schell

Make sure you know the person who is doing the haircut for you. I mean a fresh start student hair can ruin your hair style definitely. Trust me they really did.

C B

amazing experience. everyone is super friendly and nice. Its such a cozy place and everyone seems genuine.

Alice Sambatti

Got a really good haircut for a really good price! Special thanks to Jessica for doing an awesome job.

Sabrina

I've gone to a lot of places for my hair, from high end salons, to price friendly one's, to even just box dye. I decided to try out MC college, after feeling like really I have nothing to lose, I've tried everywhere, and plus my current diy box dye attempt, left my hair really brassy. This was my first time ever going to a salon school, but let me tell you, amazing! The wonderful lady who saved my hair was Tracy and her instructor! It does take longer, because their still learning and need to get their instructor to check. Which, I prefer because you know your hair is being carefully done. In the end, I went in with brassy hair, that looked dull, and one heck of a shapeless haircut. To my nice ashy brown hair, with a hair cut that flatters my face. The price for haircut and colour would of been about 125 with tip, but they had a 25% off special for colour services. So i paid only $110 with tip, of course it could be more or less. Thanks again, Tracy!

I tried the hair salon for the first time and I will definitely go back! Darci O. was my hair stylist and she is very professional, very sweet and easy to talk to. Her instructor, Kindrie helped out with my layers and I couldn't be happier with the results. Both gals together were such a great team. My hair looks great! Darci also showed me a range of hair care products. The prices are very fair and the vibe in the studio is just fun, everyone is so motivated and happy. I'm definitely hooked up and will book a couple of their other services next time (manicure, facial etc.).

Kyla Turner

I just finished the evening part time artificial nail technician course and would highly recommend going with MC college. The building is beautiful and there was street parking so I didn’t have to pay which was nice. My instructor Sheryl was incredible and made the course 100% more fun and exciting. It was super easy to ask her questions and she provided constructive criticism when needed. I believe having a great teacher makes all the difference. Taking this course helped me further my knowledge and understanding of what is required to provide a professional and safe environment for my clients in the future! Thank you!

Nora Romero

Staff and students have done a great job during covid of following protocols and keeping the space clean. The students are awesome! They’re still learning but you can barely tell. A great place for salon and spa services at great prices.

Jenn Bern

Booked appointments, got confirmation texts and reminder text 2 days before my appointment. Tried to sign in to look at what I booked in for as it was a while ago and apparently you can't look at your profile after you've signed out?!?! AND when I called to ask, they informed me, after putting me on hold, that they weren't able to do my services anymore... ok, so WHY send the reminder text in the first place?!?! Why allow people to book if you don't have students available? That seems like incredibly poor management

paigeforestell45

Students here are train professionally as you have a professional look with such a good price. Love it, love it. Goob job, Ameer and hail to your Instructors.

Spank it

Mary Jean

Just got my hair cut and a root touch up today. I am very happy with how it turned out despite the long time it took. My hairstylist (I would give a name but I'm not sure if it's OK to do so) was very open to what I wanted and patient. She explained everything she was going to do and use and if she was unsure about anything she would grab an instructor. The entire crowd was positive and nice to be around. Overall I had a wonderful experience here and would recommend it to anyone looking for services for a small fee.

Bruce Chek

Been to the salon to have my haircut a few times and has always been a good experience. However this last time I had booked an appointment at the spa was a bit of a mess. Apparently they had called the day before to tell me my appointment had been cancelled (which I didn’t receive. This may have been my fault for not checking but that’s not a lot of notice for an appointment that was booked a week in advance). The receptionist let me check in when I got there and precedes to let me wait for 30 minutes before informing me my appointment had been cancelled. Very upset by this and can’t say I would book a salon appointment again.

Eryn McLennan

The student haircuts here are usually a gamble; I've had a couple phenomenal ones and a few not so great ones. Yesterday was a mixed experience for me. I was kept waiting for 20 minutes with no apologies from anyone, which threw me off a little. The student that was assigned to me was very friendly and communicative. She did a really wonderful cut and stayed away from texturing my hair, because I specifically said I hate having that done and that I didn't want to lose too much length. I was pleased with the haircut and she went to go get one of the teachers to check it out. The teacher proceeded to grab texturing shears and a hair trimmer and cut my hair into an extremely short, texturized pixie. The student even tried to stop her and tell her that I didn't want that. The haircut is cute, but it's definitely not what I asked for and 3 months of hair growth is gone . I will never be back here, as I can understand when a student makes a mistake, but I can't handle a teacher taking over a haircut and not consulting with the client at all.

Kayla Elliott

I never pamper myself but i had a co-worker suggest i go to MC to get my hair coloured as salons could be pricy. It was my 50th Bday. I sat in the chair for 6 hours to have my hair coloured orange. I advised them during the process that I believe the student was doing something incorrect...they ignored me. The place was closing and they needed payment prior to closing, i paid them prior to discovering that my hair was orange as it was still processing and covered. Once the all the rods came out we discovered this. I had to come back the next day to sit in a chair for another 6 hours (on the day of my 50th bday where my husband planned a surprise bday party for me) for them to fix the orange hair. They stated they couldn't give me my money back but they will fix it, they stated that "well, you know they are student learning"....but they did give two small bottles of product - wow...really? My hair was fried and dry with all the stripping they unnecessarily done...and this is how they compensated me. Save yourself the agony...don't go. I really kept my cool during this whole process, but looking back...I am not sure why they could not have reimbursed me my money when asked for it. Sure they fixed it, but is has been 3 months and my hair is still dry and damaged. They accept any person with or without talent and with little or no training to work on a person's hair....All they care or want is the money. This school's priority is not to educate, it is ALL about the money.

Isabella Engstrom

It is always a different experience going to Marvel. Went for a Mani Pedi, facial, body scrub and body wrap. I had a different student for each treatment. Wasn't crazy about the scrub and wrap, it was my first try at it and found the room a little clinical. Not sure if it was just cuz of covid?

Moira d'Haene

Just was a lucky model for Lori and what an amazing job! Love it!

FN Jappy

The service is always so nice. I really love this place and would really recommend!

Ellie

I had a very bad experience going here November 4th. So after I wrote a not so nice review, somebody reached out to me. She heard my story and dealt with it amazingly. I went back and was helped by Samantha Barba. She was very professional and personable. She even was very accommodating towards my sensitivity of lavender. I don't think the first stylist understood what I wanted but Samantha definitely knew my vision and I'm very happy with the results I will be going back to MC College. I'm not going to base my entire opinion on one person that I didn't see eye-to-eye with. I love my hair now, the cut is exactly what I wanted.

Rachelle Robles

I am completely disappointed in this college! I've recommended all the staff to family and friends alike for years an NEVER have I seen such a HACK job on someones hair as I did today on my own father! I will NO LONGER be sending people their way as the staff are not only extremely rude! But they also made a joke of my father. He has been going to MCC for a few years now to support the students thanks to me suggesting them in the past. I've had friends who've gone to school there an express the gossip that goes around that building. However! Three months ago was the mark of my FATHERS LAST appointment!!!! He went in for the usual bleach touch up and cut. His hair usually takes an hour longer to get completely finished. My father has very dense hair an lots of it, instead of properly cutting it as usual. The students and teachers decided to BUZZ CUT his entire under coat of hair an keep a thin drop of hair covering it up like curtains. Not only that but they took his nice golden locks and didn't bother to cut it evenly. One side of his head is completely longer than the other! Today I watched my 55 year old father cry, because someone made fun of the fact they can see through his hair. He is NOT happy. My father is man very proud of his long hair at his age and it defines his character to his soul! Unfortunately the teachers decided not to correct their students and accept this cruel cut as acceptable. Hair is very important these days, so don't trust this college as the teachers are ignorant to peoples requests of their students. Although the student herself was very friendly and kind. NOBODY offered her input or help, making things escalate. Now my father has to cop all his hair off to look normal again. He needs his long hair for his business as it's a selling factor on his own slogan. The instructors make me sick to my stomach, and come across as quite unbelievable. I feel bad for anybody being trained by them or coming to get their hair done here. As the professors do not come across as {professionals)!! I WILL NEVER get my hair done by these peoples ever again. An if anyone asks my opinion I will gladly point them away from here! JUST DISGUSTING SERVICE!!!

Loretta Zutz

The staff and the instructor are very friendly. I had a facial treatment and a manicure service. I am 100% satisfied with the facial treatment, very relaxing and gentle. However... the manicure took about 2 hours. I am really upset with the result.. I felt so bad for the student because the all the nail polishes were sticky, she had to keep putting new code on ???????? kinda disappointed..

Jewel Turner

Excellent service Recommend you give it a try

Lindsay Gilbert

Very fun and professional place considering all these folks are just learning! I left feeling like myself again and not looking like a tired 'mum' anymore!!! Shout out to Larissa for an unbelievable job, I would highly recommend her as I'm sure once she is finished her school year she will be a hard one to book with!! You guys are all Killin it!!!! Don't listen to the bad reveiws.... Sounds more like an blown over situation.... Maybe these 'bad review's' could have been avoided if patience, understanding and maybe a big lunch before hand...... would have helped avoid the situation. Waaah!

Maria Beinarowitz

Love all the ladies and services. Teachers are amazing. Wonderful atmosphere

Sierra Goransrud

MC College stuff is very supportive and helpful one day I spend with myle teacher she is very honest and loving teacher I really like her teaching way I love myle teacher respect ????

C Lace

First time I go get my hair done here...went in with open mind...knowing it is a teaching school. Root touch up and layers took about 3hrs. Too much was cut off initial blunt cut by student so there was not much room for the layers I originally wanted but instructor took over and finished my hair cut which is Super awesome and relieved she knew exactly how it needed to be done and how to do the layers without cutting an extra ton. Thank you teachers for being soo patient and available when needed. I love my hair! Reccomend any day.

Beth Boo

They were fantastic! Reannen was so well supported by kind people who genuinely wanted her to learn! What else can you expect :) it was lovely and thank you to the whole team.

Michelle Auger

Great place to get your hair cut at a fraction of the price as other places, and you help students by giving them a chance to learn. Don't show up if you want a fast appointment- students are learning, so they take their time to do their best.

cviyeta dokic pulice

***PLEASE READ***Dont ever go here. If i had a choice to rate this no stars, boy i would. I went here today to get my hair stripped from black to a medium brown, with some balayage in it. They turned my hair to a blond / red colour, basically orange after continuously showing them the colour i wanted. No one listened to me, they only did to my hair what they thought would look good. I had to get them to dye it 2 times. First tome it cane out 4 different colours. Brown, then blond, then brown, then dark brown. As hideous as it was and sounds, they were shocked to hear i didn't like it. It gets better. The second time they died, it came out orange.. i told them the colour i wanted after the first mess up and no one listened. If your considering going here you might as well turn off the lights and do your hair yourself because you'll get the same exact outcome. The staff was atrocious, aside from one. Christina i believe her name is. She was the only sweetheart, other than her, everyone else was insanely rude. All the staff were whispering to each-other, making me think they were talking trash about me. The “professional” that was guiding my hairdresser was acting like im the one that made this mistake and this was all my fault. It doesn't take rocket science and grade 4 education to learn the difference between the colour of BROWN and ORANGE. I cant even express how much i don't want ANYONE to go here unless you want you self esteem to drop to rock bottom. Listen to all the bad reviews, they are not wrong. I wish i would have listened. To all the women/men working at mc college, in the hair salon, note to self : you might as well go work for McDonalds because your most likely to make a career out of that than what you think your good at right now. If your even thinking about going to school here, do yourself and favour and just throw your $15 000 out the window. There at least it’ll be put to better use.

Daniil Tarasenco

never go here this is the worst place they completely ruined my sisters hair and it took my mom 5 hours to untangle it from all the knots. If I could I would shut this place down.

Samantha Ryans (Lysare)

My experience today at MC College is definitely worth sharing and writing a review for. I had 3 individuals put time and effort each on my hair. One of the ladies really washed my hair and untangled the hell out of it (my hair is hella curly), the other guy spent time on lining up my beard and side burns! Finally, it seems my curly hair was slightly too difficult of a task to 'practice' on since the salon is worked by students. So the instructor spent over an hour, texturizing my hair, and thinning it out. All while holding an informing conversion with me about different hair types relation to different ethnicities, while teaching her students. She ended up not charging me and only asked for me to have a good holiday. Thank you very much Jujana and Merry Christmas to you.

Deina Frehse-Albrecht

I really love this place! If you have the patience to sit as a model for students (don't expect a speedy service - they are learning!) it is worth your time. I went twice to get a hair cut and both time it was done perfectly. The students have great teachers who check what they are doing and the hair cut is better than everything I got from professionals before.

Dawn Wenzel

Sierra did a great job with my haircut. Went in for a trim/lob and it came out nice and even :) If you go to get your hair done I highly recommend her!

Maria Ing

Just had pedicures and manicures here with my daughter. The young lady work on my daughter was awesome. However the one that worked me wasn't not even good and half assed it. Had gel put on my nails. Toes are ok but the fingers were awful and have already peeled off. The instructor was awesome even offered to redo them but after already being there for 3.5 hrs getting this done I could not stay any longer. The only thing that saved me from giving this experience a 1 or less star was the young lady doing my daughter and the instructor. Won't recommend for these services at this point

Lisa

last week i did a tour of all the schools in Edmonton . I am going to school for hair styling. My first initial take when i walked into the school was the immense professionalism that i encountered when i entered the salon. i was told told go upstairs to the fourth floor to meet with my coordinator to do a tour. i was overwhelmed with the professionalism when dealing with Olivia. she asked me some questions about myself and it put me at ease knowing that i am at an actual school. she went into great detail regarding the school and the process of schooling. how much itl cost and what the program will be like and different programs they offer. she then took me on a wonderful tour of the whole school. i was overwhelmed by the size, cleanliness and just how professional and stress free it seamed. I have since then been talking to Kayla in regards to registering for the program and still nothing but professionalism. she answers calls and emails promptly and helps me go through steps to help me register for my up and coming program. thank you MC collage for helping me choose the best school in Edmonton to start my career!!

Charlene w.jack (karhunainen)

Please please do not tell customers that a student knows what they are doing when they do not. I have curly hair and was told I would be given to someone with more experience. I was given to someone who had been there for 2 months and definitely did not know what he was doing. Was told numerous times I was "in good hands". I told him I only wanted a tiny bit off, as I like my long hair. He then proceeded to chop about 6 inches off of my hair. Instructors did not watch or help at all. My nice, long blonde curls are now an awkward shoulder length bob. I understand it is a learning environment, but a student's first time cutting a certain type of hair should NOT be on a customer. Also took 3 hours to style. Not a huge deal for me, I understand he is learning but keep this in mind if you go.

Melina Sidney

Truly devastated and traumatized. Went in to have my hair toned told her I wanted to look like my blonde daughter as I already had bright blonde hair came out looking orange brown the instructor that was assigned to me. wouldn’t even deal with me! after I had gotten upset about the colour of my hair! she just referred to me as It! the student was asking her for help and she was like I’m not dealing with It!!!get the manager! The manager was very nice about trying to help fix it but he couldn’t stay for the end result. Which I’m still not happy with. When The manager left I totally felt an energy shift and the women’s cattiness came out in full force! everyone was giving me dirty looks. except for the student that was left to clean up the mess . She was very nice to reassure me that the way I was feeling was OK! and that the first instructor was being inappropriate . I had booked an appointment for this past Friday but my anxiety got to me and I just can’t go back

onesassychix

I wast a Model for Ziana final test , it was Awesome ,tint, cut and style . Very happy with the Outcome . Very Professional Staff and Teachers. Thanks

Darielle J

I would not recommend this school to anyone. My color and cut were horrible, no offense to the poor girl that was trying to do my hair, the school should be ashamed for putting such an inexperienced student on an advanced color. ( SO its not that I am mad it didnt turn out I am pissed I was charged 100$ for it ), then to have it adjusted they gave me a girl that has been in the school for 2 months and could barely speak English.Normally that wouldnt matter but when you need to communicate whats needing to be fixed it kinda does. When I asked for someone a bit more advanced all of a sudden it would have been the end of next week before I would be able to get in to have my hair fixed. The receptionist bascially told me to bad, wait or dont come here. So now I am out 100 bucks .. and horrible hair until I can get in somewhere else to have it fixed. SO you think your saving money by going to a school but NOPE costs double and that doesnt include all the time wasted. Never again! FYI, By the way wasnt able to post unless I picked a star but honestly I dont even want to give the 1 star that I did.

Jade Hoof

Was a great experience. Very professional. Would recommend to all my friends and family.

Cheri Ashley

Went here today thinking I would have a great experience.not at all. One of their instructors I think her name is Kelly what a rude woman! actually started yelling at me.because I didn't like my hair colour. She basically was going to stop and put her shears down. I will not ever give them my business again! The student I had wasn't very keen, on taking me as a client.but she did her best.i actually had an appt with my regular girl.but she didn't even show up.how unprofessional is that! In a real working world u wouldn't last . Not recommended!????

Eliezer Moreno

My wife and one her coworkers already comes here. I went in for a cut and colour (they had 25% off all colouring and it included a haircut). I have naturally black hair and wanted to go grey. The student and her teacher went through the whole process with me at the beginning and then again before each new step. I went through 2 bleachings before the toner. They gave me easy to follow instructions on how to maintain it. My scalp was sore by the end and couldn't do any more processing so they told me that I could come back the next week for a free touch up of colouring. I came back after my scalp had rested and they fixed some of the areas that had not gone fully grey. They also put a conditioning treatment on with a long scalp massage. I am so happy with the final result! I have been telling everyone to go there and I will definitely go back. Over the two appointments, I worked with 2 students and one teacher who were all welcoming, full of energy, and made sure I was comfortable throughout the whole process.

Marilea Sharpe

Not recommended. Totally disppointed with the services I received. The one hour massage was more like 45 minutes. The student taking all the information suddenly became sick while I was waiting in the room, face down for an extended period of time. The instructor came in and told me another student would be taking over. The new student did not read or go over the detailed notes taken by the original student and simply rushed through the treatment. When the instructor came in for feedback I advised her of this and she simply did not care. In a phone call to her this morning about my eyelash tint needed a redo, she told me that her main customers are her students and not the paying customers. I advised her that with all the Group On coupons out there prices were cheaper to go to a professional established business than to come to a school and be treated so poorly. She argued with me, the esthetics instructor and told me she didn't like my attitude...well...I sure didn't like her lack of caring about the quality of service this school should strive for. They are students and are learning....but with an attitude of the head instructor in esthetics, it doesn't surprise me now why I got the lack of service that I did. Very disappointed with this school and how this particular instructor thinks that she is not open to any suggestions for improving the school.

Gil Mendoza

A friend of mine suggested this place to me and I was skeptical to let a student take over and do the job for me. However, I was surprised to say the least how these students take their job seriously and make sure every customer they get leave with a satisfied look. The best part was how every single student lets the supervisor review their work for them. This means having two different sets of eyes to see the way you look before you leave the place. Highly recommended for people wanting to try something new look, I liked the way i was pampered :D...Thumbs up for this place

Chelsea Zutz

Great tour. Taryn was very informative and helpful.

Melissa Miskiman

I had the pleasure of getting my hair cut by Kayla. She was awesome, and did a great job! I defiantly recommend trying the college and letting the students practice. The instructors are all there while the salon is open.

Mahesh Kamath

Dont ever trust these people with your hair. The girl that did my hair kept bashing my hair texture. The manager didn’t care. Plus she did a horrible job. Yanking my hair while bashing it the entire time, I couldn’t take it anymore so I left. You’ll pay a very cheap price but your hair will get wrecked. Don’t be frugal. Save yourself the pain.

Geethu Samaran

Had the best experience here today March 26/2021 I had the great pleasure of meeting the beautiful Kate who was my student stylist, and her two instructors Jasmine,n Kindree.and of course the professional and Beautiful Angela,! Those women took such great care of my needs n wants I wanted to let people know to please book your hair appts here! It's so worth it! They treat you like a queen. Very professional, kind n very honest. Thank you to all you ladies I had the best day here! And thanks to the beautiful Rose at the front desk.for being so kind and sweet. I love you all! I will be back!!❤❤❤❤I f I could give you more stars I would!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Alia Tulloch

I love coming here! The prices are great, and even the worst of students will still do a decent job on your hair. For the price, and knowing that the students are still learning, it's a good experience. The majority of the time I've gotten my hair done here, they've done what I've needed and I left happy. Thanks guys!

Kelsi C. Jones

Booked in with Samantha today, and she was wonderful! Super friendly, and kind. My haircut was excellent! The instructor over-seeing the cut was also great! Thanks, everyone!

Elizabeth Sundby

I have been getting my hair cut here for three years now - it always turns out great, and I save money, which is an added bonus! The hairdressers always take the time to ensure I get the haircut I want, and offer great styling tips I can do at home. Everyone there is friendly and welcoming. I recommend this place for anyone who is nervous about getting their hair cut - the hairdressers always put me at ease and take their time.

They fixed it as much as they could and didn’t charge me..that the only good thing about that dye job..

Selina Elchuk

I highly recommend this modern, state of the art Salon/Spa! My daughter had her hair dyed blue, and I had a cut/colour and pedicure this past weekend... amazing service all around, and the end results were outstanding. The instructors are always checking in (LOVED Sarah!), which was reassuring as I have curly hair, and things can go sideways fast. Big shout out to Vida, Christian, Quentin, Robin, and all the ladies in the spa, for taking such good care of us. ❣️

C Rae

Ask for Kathleen! Professional, quality service and somehow still in school. She did a leg wax and eyelash extensions for me and it was amazing! Better lash extensions than some of the salons in town. Highly recommend

Kayla Clements

Brooke M did a fantastic job cutting and styling my hair! Super nice person who also thanked me for giving her the opportunity/practice. I'll go back!!

Donna/Darren Goyea

I love receiving the newsletters each month but I wish you would put the pricing of the products that you are advertising.

Michael Stewart

Amazing service and did a great job with my hair treatment and cut! Great prices for students on a budget!

Miranda Abild

Here’s the thing: they are students! So if you are expecting tour regular salon treatment, you’re gunna have a bad time. Every student who has cut my hair (3) was friendly and genuinely cared about delivering what I asked for. Did I always get this? No! But how the hell else are they supposed to learn. I’ve always assumed hairdressers know more about my hair than I do and, guess what, so do these lovely individuals. I will continue to go back. Just know that a cut/color will take 4-6hrs. Plan your time accordingly and you will enjoy a solid hair experience for a fraction of the cost!

Ashley Pacaud

My daughter came for a wash and cut. She had a relaxed and comfortable experience. Our stylist was kind and friendly. Overall a lovely time. Will come again!

Skenas

Amazing, amazing, amazing!

Julia Miller

I love my new style! Keep in mind when going here that these are students training and gaining experience! Go in with an open mind and be encouraging - speak up if you want something done differently. Come here if you are not super attached to your hairstyle and give the students the patience and kindness that they deserve. They are knowledgeable and are trying their best! It was a great hair cut and style for an awesome price. I will be coming back!

Luke H

My girlfriend is takeing school there

Rae Gajadhar

Waste of my time. Went in for my scheduled appointment and apparently my hair stylist was a no show. And to get in with another stylist I'd be paying way more. They wouldn't honour the price I was offered, nor did they call me to let me know my stylist hadn't showed. Thankfully was able to get in somewhere else last minute. Will never go back to MC College.

Khadija Khanbhai

I took the hairstyling course and I loved it I learned lots and all my instructors were amazing

Drewles H.

If I could give this negative stars I would. If you ask me this school should not be a learning environment. You pay almost $20,000 for the tuition you'd think you get pretty good education right? Wrong! You ask for help and the teachers say "I told you I wasn't going to repeat myself" or "I'll just demo it again" or they roll their eyes as if you are bothering them, or they shove you out of the way and do it for you. No matter how many times you tell them that you don't learn by watching them do it you learn by you doing it they just don't get it. You get written up for using cellphones on the floor but when you try to ask for help their response is "huh sorry what was that" because they were too busy snapchatting. This is not a professional place what so ever. If you want to be belittled and waste your time and money this is the school for you, but if you want a good education with teachers who know how to teach properly look somewhere else GOOGLE SEARCH. I wish I never stepped foot into this school!

aimee Lavoie

I had an amazing experience, Nicole was the student stylist. She listened, and gave me the exact haircut, colour and style that I described. The instructor was also amazing, I would highly recommend this hair studio!

CaciaStar

They wouldn't allow my sleeping newborn into the spa for my 30 min lash tint. When asked why, she said 'I don't know, it's just a rule' Obviously I'm not going to leave my baby with a stranger at the check in counter.....so I guess I have to find a new place to get my lashes done.

Megan Elizabeth

This is great place for a guilt free spa and salon day. Great Students and instructors. Highly recommend giving this place a try. Lovely bright and sanitized salon. Reasonable Priced services. Support the students get them on the road to success.

Sports Mom

Went for permanent hair straightener for first time but after 3 days I washed my hair and it looks same like before like frizzy very disappointed about my service and also they have different prices like one of my friend had same service for 42 dollars and they charged me 84 dollars but that was fine but my hair looks same like before frizzy very disappointed about my service ????

Jen Innes

I have been to the school a few times, although some of the students need to be a bit more careful particularly around your ears .. felt as if one of them was going to rip them off with her comb, not careful what so ever, but she was aware of it and kept saying sorry .. I would think if she was aware she would learn better technique the other reason I say just 'good' is because there are obvious students there who don't seem to care, this is obvious with some of the chatter that goes on between them .. not really a good client boost to hear some so bored and disgruntled. That said.. it is constructive criticism to help the instructors and training .. the results of the cut and color in one case was done very well in the end ... And thus far on 3 separate visits, I have been checked by the instructor, not just a sign off . so perhaps if there are instructors who are not doing their job this too needs to be addressed by management ... overall . I have been happy with the results

Fae Rube

Students are always accommodating with my relaxation messages. I only had one bad experience and their excellent customer service team aided in correcting the issue immediately. Always enjoy myself when I come here.

Mary Cooke

My partner and I both got haircuts from the lovely students at MC College. My stylist Kat did an amazing job and it was her first day in the salon! My partners haircut looks great too! It takes a little longer since all their work is checked by an instructor, but I really enjoyed being part of the learning process. I'll be back in soon for a colour with Kat, thanks again!

Lavonne Krebs

I too had the worst experience.....freaking horrible...the young girl doing my hair was a sweetie (Jennifer) but the instructors where totally unprofessional....I booked for my roots and a cut it was at 1pm and after 4 hours I was told they have run out of time and can I come back to get it cut (a 2 day hair appointment??)...I told them I couldn't come back. The instructor became very rude and told me I was unreasonable??? are you kidding me.....the instructors could have given Jennifer a hand to speed things up...Jennifer offered to stay and finish but the instructors would not allow it and flat out refused got very snippy, eye rolling the whole 9 yards. Then told the young girl not to blow dry my hair (It is winter!!)......she did blow dry it anyways....I will NEVER go back there...the instuctors are appalling and nasty. Also the instructors were gossipiping and whispering about other clients in a negative manner..... I feel bad for the students they do not have enough insturctors or support for the amount of clients they are booking.....Horrible role models...It is ridiculous...PS Jennifer did do a good job on my roots...I have had Massages there and pedi's and they were great but NEVER again will I get my hair done there....HORRIBLE

Cj Stubbs

Started nail school. Staff is very friendly, and supportive.

Sanaa Kamaldine

Anas Ahmed

I went there to get a haircut and they kicked me out because “ I didn’t smell good “ Very disrespectful place I will escalate this to head office

Melissa Osborne

I have gone here quite a few times and I have always had a good experience. I first went for my graduation they had a special for hair makeup and nails, the hair was absolutely gorgeous!!! I got so many compliments and the girls were so nice through out my appointment I had other students commenting on the hair and how it looked I felt very comfortable. Then I went up for nails the girls were so nice and accommodating, next was makeup and the girl who did my makeup was so lovely she listened to what I had to say about how I usually like my makeup. The most recent time was a few weeks ago I got my bangs cut and it was a look I was scared to get, but the girl who did my hair was amazing even though she had never done bangs before she did a wonderful job, she asked her instructor lots of questions to make sure she was doing it right, ( I am totally fine being a learning experience) and I love, my new bangs and will continue cutting, my hair like this. Looking forward to continuing to go here.

Kathleeen McCusker

Wonderful school specialist in heed of training! This is the place! Exciting programs!

Krysta-lynn Fitch

Editing my review because MC college did make it right . They definitely rectified the situation. Thank you

Tahira Aqib

I went there for highlights. They did a test run for my favorite color and said that is impossible, so they started to dye my hair a darker color to make sure it works. I was there from 10:30 in the morning til 4:30. 6 hours! In between the instructor came and said sorry there was not enough product and we have to do it all again. Finally after all nothing was changed in my hair . I told them but they said oh yeah there is a change when you get home you'll see it. There was nothing on my hair literally. I came back to talk to manager for two times but they kept telling me she is off and will call you back. Never called back!!

louise pearce

I had my hair styled and cut by a young lady named E.J today in Edmonton. I was her model and she performed her test MARVELously today. The atmosphere is relaxing and enjoyable. I believe E.J is going to have a very promising career ahead of her. Thank you

Rosemarie Reece

Great precautions taken for covid. Fantastic haircut and streaks. Love my new look. Thanks Amanda!

Nicole Pike

I was a student here and I would VERY HIGHLY discourage anyone from going here. This school is such a scam. They just take in everybody, charge them almost $20,000, and push them out without any standard. My time here, was during covid, but regardless was awful. When we were finally allowed to go to the school, in person, we were practically forced into the salon, even if we didn't feel ready. When my class was in the salon, they had 2 instructors. Now for probably 30-40 students who need help and guidance, with 2 instructors, you can not get the help you need. It is very clique-y, certain instructors like certain students and, if you don't fit into that category you are basically treated like garbage. They finally hired new instructors and, I personally had a terrible experience with them. They would belittle me, treat me with sass when I ask for help, shut down all ideas and creativity I had. Trying to talk to management/office staff is impossible. They don't answer emails and when you finally contact them, you have to wait multiple weeks to have a meeting with them. At one point, they had so many students on the salon floor, they had to take students out and move them up into classrooms, which was a major waste of time and took away from our learning and salon experience. Literally all I have to say about this school is negative. It's been almost 8/9 months since I've graduated and I haven't been able to find employment, and they have not been much help, like they say when you enroll. Definitely, if you are considering going here, please do your research, or go to Est-Elle academy, they have high employment rates and have heard great things about their school.

Vaness

Saw Carlie today, she was stunning and did an incredible job. I will be back at the end of month for she talked me into highlights! Thanks so much!

Kevin brule

Get to know the future stylist

Karly Boehm

I attended school here graduated in 2014. I get my hair done here use to see a friend I worked with do to my hair but that stopped so I come here

Lynne Marriott

Update: Sheldon, the salon manager, has called and was very polite and apolgetic. He has offered me a dye and cut if I choose to give them another try. I appreciate the quick response. They seem to really care about their clientele and are willing to fix any mistakes. I booked an appointment for 930 am for a dye and a cut. Nothing overly complicated. I had assumed it would take a few hours at most... The girl who cut my hair asked for someone else to help her so I thought that it would be quick with both of them colouring my hair. It took 5 hours, my highlights didn't go as bright as I wanted (but I can live with it) and the girl didnt even cut my hair. Her instructor had to cut it and she did it in, what felt like, under 5 minutes because they were closing soon and wanted me to leave. Her hands (the instructors) were shaking so bad that she didnt even give me a straight cut. I have curly hair so I didn't notice right away until I straightened it and I found chunks of my hair SIGNIFICANTLY longer then the rest of my hair. They said if I wasn't happy with the cut or colour to book back within 48 hours. She also offered me a free scalp massage and style since they didnt have time to give me one. However, I do not want to sit there for another 5 hours to get a straight cut and brighter color that should have been done right the first time. I can forgive the student but not the instructor. If you dont know the person who is cutting your hair spend the extra money and go to a salon.

Eilish McAnally

Got my brows waxed here and it was by far the most pleasant results ever!!!!

Taylor Byers

Went to school for waxing here. Definitely recommend courses are affordable and hands on so you get a chance to try everything !

Meagan Mancini

Went in for a simple wash, cut and dry. The girl who did my hair was extremely poorly trained, in my opinion! She did not even bother to shampoo my hair properly. She did not even rub the shampoo into my scalp. She just superficially patted my hair. Nor did she rinse out the soap thoroughly enough. It was all done within seconds! She seemed really disinterested and nonchalant. I had asked for a simple bob cut, and she completely messed it up by cutting it unevenly all around!! I looked like a complete joker with odd pieces hanging out, as I noticed later. Moreover she was extremely awkward and shaky, and it seemed like it was her very first time holding a pair of scissors and giving someone a haircut! Very disappointed!! Would not trust them with my hair again.

ted cornell

Extremely great personnel, very good haircut for me and terrific hair job for my wife. Prices great

Renae Kerr

Don't go there if you value customer service or your hair! Worst experience I've had! Yes they are students but it shouldn't be that bad! Worst hair cut! Terrible unprepared service! Don't waste your time or $

D B

This is my third time getting a haircut at MC! The students and instructors were so amazing and friendly! Totally recommend this place for men's haircut.

Vivian

Forever in love with my new hair style!! Kennedy did what a professional stylist could not do for me. Super nice people with such amazing talent. 11/10 would recommend.

Amon Tiessen

I would never trust a hair dresser there again. I showed her with my fingers how much I wanted cut off, and she took triple the amount. I was in complete shock and after I left, I balled in my car. I'm not sure if the students knew that I wasn't deaf, but the unprofessionalism that they showed in their conversations and comments of being very afraid to cut their upcoming clients hair and verbalized how they felt they would mess up, did not make me feel anymore confident being there.

HOLLY TURNER

Worst experience ever. I do not like the instructor that was teaching their students. She is very lazy and was not helpful. It seems like all she wanted was to make money. And insisted that lightening hair was out of her students scope! I wil NEVER come back here again and I will most definitely NOT recommend anyone to go here. GoodLuck if you think you can get what you want here.

Katrina Poon

Got a hair cut and treatment here and my hair looks and feels awesome I love it! My curls were dry and flat before and now they're defined and happy ????

Katie

My children sometimes require challenging and unique hairstyles. The stylist they get listens and understands what they want. I could not get this anywhere else. Love Marvel hair salon!

Sampaguita Bautista

It was aswome everyone was so friendly and helpful. Be back soon

Crystal

I like getting my hair done here, as there are teachers to over see the students cutting my hair, the students are always so nice, and best of all it's a great deal.

Harley Schmidt

If I could give a lower rating I would. I had a hair cut in July and this girl has no business cutting hair. She does not know what she's doing AT ALL. Fortunately, I'm not fanatically about my hair and I was able to go home and do a little bit of cutting and fixing myself. This was my first time going in. I thought I would check them out to get a trim. I will never go back. My sister on the other hand, unbeknownst to me, went in for a hair cut and color for her 50th birthday and they majorly screwed up her hair. It took them two days (12 hours) to fix it only hours before a big 50th surprise birthday party her husband had planned for her. The surprise would have been her showing up with orange hair had MC College not have fixed the problem in time. I don't blame the students. I blame the College....the money hungry investors and the instructors who all they think about is themselves. This is a trade, a skill. Not everyone is cut out to cut and style hair. There should be standards and requirements just like any other trade or profession. If you don't meet that requirement within a certain time period, your retake the course or that level until you do and you certainly don't allow that student to start their practicum when they are not ready. It's not rocket science, Instructors! Yes, we (meaning customers) make the decision to come the MC College with the understanding that these are students that are still learning, but we come thinking that the students are at a level where they have at least SOME skill and knowledge to be able to cut, color, and style hair. Some don't even know how to hold scissors or what basic terms are after six months. I feel sorry for these students because you are taking their money knowing they will never make it in this industry, yet, you will not tell them nor coach them or help them in a way that benefits them. Shame on you! I spoke to Sheldon today, the Salon Manager. He says he has over 20 years hairdressing experience. He confirmed everything I said about how poorly the program is run at MC College and how a lot of the girls don't know what the heck they are doing, but he says, it's a vicious cycle and it's been like that forever and it hasn't changed. It's the easiest trade to get into when you think you're not qualified to do anything else in life. It's only been like that for so long because you guys allow it to be like that. Maybe it's time to change the stigma of "hairdressing." All this to say...I will NOT be going back to the MC salon to get anything done. I think it's pretty safe to say (although I can't speak for my sister) that I don't think my sister will be going back any time soon either.

Donna Taras

Wow. I think her name was Sejal I went in a few hours ago and she was absolutely amazing- she did a great job and was really nice. Definitely suggest her if you do to get your nails done i got a mani and gel nails. BUT the other students were all talking right beside us, complaining about their customers and swearing for almost half an hour!? I thought that was kind of weird to be doing RIGHT BESIDE a customer? Anyway it was really clean and super cute there but they didn’t have much colour choice. SUPER CUTE THOUGH and i had a coupon for a free mani so for the gel nails it was only 10$!!! crazy, definitely suggest!

Debra Dawe

First time at MC College, my stylist, Chelsea, did an amazing job. I came in for a colour, she really took the time to understand what I was looking for, I absolutely love it. The instructors were always around to consult when needed, it is such a positive and upbeat atmosphere! Chelsea was so polite and professional. She walked me through the plan and continued to let me know what was happening each step of the way! The only thing I wish I knew going in was how long it could take. Definitely block off close to the whole day if you're going in for a full colour or something similar.

Alexandra Tarasenco

The worst hair salon in the world my daughter asked for bangs and her hairdresser made her som tangled mess and now we will sue you for ruining my daughters hair

Reanna gebran

I had the pleasure of having Tarryn’s services today. I wanted to have my hair dyed a rather tricky colour and she managed to pull it off! I was nervous about the process but she was so confident and explained how the bleach and tone works and what it would be like so I felt so much more at ease. I honestly didn’t believe that she was just learning how to colour hair, as she is a student! The outcome I got and the professional level to which she worked exceeded my expectations beyond measure.

Jessica Thomson's

A friend booked me a surprise hair appointment about 2 weeks ago. When we got there today, unfortunately only one of us was able to get in at first. I wanted to walk out but the young lady in front convinced me to stay. She did let me know that couldn’t get a senior student that I wanted. My experience was okay but I would like to go back and give them another chance, just to fix my uneven hair.

Mathew Russell

I always have trouble letting people do stuff with my hair but I decided to change it up. I wanted a balayage and showed a pic of exactly what I wanted and they said no problem. After 5 hours I left almost in tears. My hair was much shorter than I wanted, I stead of just straight up layers they gave me a “framing” idk what that is, but it looks bad. There was no balayage (I wanted the fade to be mid hair length. About near the ear. But instead all but an inch of it is pure blonde. Not even nice blonde.. like a hay bale that got spray painted yellow.. it very closely resembles a hockey boy who used box dye to colour his hair after his u15 team made it to provincials. Besides that everyone was very nice. But I wish I could rewind and stick with my normal boring hair. Too bad you can post pics ..

krystal c

I seriously can't believe how amazing my experience was today! This is my new favorite place. I thought I would be risking the quality of my haircut/color by coming to a college rather than a regular salon but not only did I have a better experience here than other salons I paid less than a sixth of the cost of what I usually do! Staff is so friendly and personable and really takes the time to listen to what you want. Couldn't be happier :)

milicia teekah

Attended school here in 2018. The instructors were mostly great but the director Analia Rubie had a weird power complex and Anna Gemellaro (director of education) was the single most miserable, rude person I ever had the displeasure of meeting. Anna regularly treated students and faculty disrespectfully and severely lacks at her position as “director of education.” As a successful hairstylist out of school I am able to look at my time here and realized it’s a scam college. The salon manager who worked during my time here eventually got fired after pushback from students when he started dating an 18 year old student, he was in his 40s. Go to Estelle if you wish to learn hair, skip this one.

C Walker

Now, let me start by saying that I didn't have any services done here yet. I had booked to have my hair and makeup done for a wedding. I was booked for first thing in the morning as the wedding is at 11:00 on the other side of the city, The girl who booked my appointment was super accommodating and was going to have the makeup student come and do my makeup at the same time as my hair to be sure that I made it out on time. I called today (three days before the wedding) to confirm my appointment and I was not scheduled for makeup. They had booked me in for my hair but somehow missed putting me in the system for makeup. There is no way they can squeeze me in now apparently and its too late to look somewhere else thats open that early in the morning. I will never recommend anyone to use Marvel for their makeup and spa services considering you can't guarantee that you will still have your appointment just days before. Never have I been more upset with the service industry and it shows bad form for when these students go out and work in their own salons as well, if they can't keep simple appointments while still in school.

Prairie K.

I do not recommend this place but not because of the students, but because of the instructors! I came in for balayage. I had overgrown dark blonde roots and light blonde hair. The lovely student and I made a plan to add blonde streaks into my roots and bring my roots into my blonde for a blended look. After doing the blonde streaks, TWO instructors told her to skip the darker streaks step, and put a toner over my whole hair. It turned the top of my roots yellow, didn't blend them into my hair at all, and somehow left my bottom roots their original colour. The student and I both knew it wasn't what I wanted and I did say that, but I didn't realize how bad it was until I got home. The instructor looked at my hair at the end (she would have seen more of it than I did- I couldn't see the back or sides) and was okay with it! I can't believe she sent me home like this. I asked for a refund because I now have to go to another salon (that's also horrified they let me leave like this) to get it fixed as I do not trust the school again at all but they won't refund me. I cannot trust the school to fix my hair when it was the instructors that changed the student's plan in the first place and their idea that caused this horrible hair. I would not recommend any student to learn under these instructors.

william c

I booked pedicures and lash tinting for both myself and my daughter over a month ago. The appointment was confirmed a day prior and then cancelled 30 min before the scheduled start time while I was already en route. There was no apology, just told the student didn't show up and "everyone else is booked and we close at 1pm". I asked if perhaps an instructor could step in for a reduced lash only service and was told "you're paying for a student, instructors don't do services". I explained I cannot reschedule (this was a surprise for my daughter)and was told " I understand you're frustrated but you chose to book with a student and they didn't come". And then SHE HUNG UP ON ME. Student services or not, I would hope they'd teach better customer service than this.

Amanda Cama

I was a little apprehensive when visiting a school to get my hair dyed and cut but after my experience at MC College, I will definitely be returning. My stylist Sam did a fantastic job! Along with her teacher, they advised me the best way to dye my already chemically treated hair. It’s been a week since I got my hair done and it still feels good. Thank you Sam and MC College!!

Dana Lee

I cannot give 5 stars because i have never attended this institution. I am an international student looking to do a Cosmetology course in Edmonton and i had contacted one of their branches. While doing so by email, i received the cost of the program for International Students 3 different times with 3 different price ranges. I am a Hair Braider and i know about Hairstyling as well due to me working in a salon having that experience. I would love to have an opportunity to do you all hair which I think you all will love. The price for me to study this Cosmetology course is way beyond. For me to spend this amount of money i would expect that my tutor would be there at all times the same way you would expect me to be there

Judy Beeton

Excellent services thank you

Anab Ali

I had my hair done here and it was an awesome service. The girl was friendly and seemed knowledgeable. She was quick and I felt very welcomed. My hair turned out fantastic !

Monisha D

good prices for being a guinea pig for friendly and kind students to practice on, overseen by professional stylists as well, it's all good, Amen????!:) ill b back ... !:)

Jack Hughes-Juneauj

I love MC College!! They do brilliant hair work on my hair!! I just had my hair go vibrant Purple!! I'm so pleased with their work. It only cost me $87 for the whole treatment. It's too bad I can't post their work on my review. If I could, I would. I gave them a $10 tip!! I will be coming back to this awesome place. I was in at 9:30am, out at around 1:30pm. 5 hrs I spent there. Man, thank goodness for WiFi. The password for the WiFi is on a sign on the water dispenser. Or you can just ask your hairstylist for it if you're planning on getting your hair bleached and coloured.

Jocelyn Clance

I have been a cx at mc for 10 yrs the service is excellent the staff are great they go out of there way to make sure you are happy with the service you are getting ny family also comes to mc as well as friends

Aisling Pouti

I got my hair cut there on Saturday and I was paired with Kelsey! Wonderful young lady to talk to and seemed genuinely interested! She did a wonderful job, and lively instructor helped us save my hair from having to be completely cut off! I would absolutely come back again! 100%!! The environment was professional, but I loved seeing the different styles and different characters of the students themselves! (and omg all the colour of hair! It was awesome!) I can't wait to come back in a couple months to have it trimmed again! Thank you ladies!

Kate Macaroni

I went to the MC College Salon for just a trim and some layering. I was helped by a lovely student named Brenna, who was guided by her instructor, Cathy. Usually when I go to a salon and ask for just the dead ends to be removed, I wind up losing a lot more length than I expect. Not the case here! We determined it was about 1.5-2 inches of splits and dead ends and that's ALL Brenna removed. I lost very minimal length while still refreshing my hair and bringing the healthy look back to it. She was super careful with the layers and made sure they were subtle but helped lessen the bulk of my hair while creating movement. Cathy double-checked them to make sure any stray long bits were caught, but Brenna had done a pretty stellar job. At the end, she also blow-dried and styled my hair, giving me some info on the Good Society product she was using that I loved the smell of. She managed to get a great curl in my hair that I almost never manage, and by the end, I had a bit of an old Hollywood glamour vibe going on! The price I paid for the level of service that I got was such an absolute bargain. Even with buying a bottle of product and tipping, I still paid less than I usually do at a salon for just the service! I was a bit nervous going to a school salon, but this experience has changed my mind. I would (and will!) gladly come back again and again!

jessica

I took a gamble and decided to hit them up for a cut AND color! I was a little nervous since it is a school, and the kids are still new at this. Anyway, I had the BEST experience! The students were nice, and it was fun to watch them working on hairstyles on the mannequin heads and stuff while I was having my hair done. It is really reassuring to have the instructor checking in before the students do anything to make sure they are on the right track. I had Kendra, and she was a super sweet kid, I was really impressed with my hair, and I am totally making Marvel my new hair salon! Great job!

Rachel Sweeney

Fantastic experience! I had eyelash extensions put in and they were great! Great students who have a solid foundation of customer service and professionalism, will definitely go back again.

Abby Laschuk

The students are broadly lovely to work with here (I've only been to the salon). They regularly check with instructors to ensure that you get what you're looking for. I think it's also valuable to be contributing to their education. Try to offer to be in their portfolio of you're getting a fair bit of work. The reason I gave them 3 stars is the time it takes. Since they are students, you should expect more. They tell you on the phone about 2-3 hours. I've never been out of there sooner than 5 hours. So book in early and bring something to read. It's also always freezing in there. You sit for 5 hours with your head wet barely moving and it seems no matter the layers I bring, I'm always frozen.

I had my hair cut last week by one of the students at MC College. They were very accommodating - I was actually able to get in same day. I asked to have my very long hair cut quite short. I was paired with Steph, who seemed pretty confident with her skills and asked for help/guidance from her instructors when she just wasn't sure. Everyone was so friendly and helpful and I really enjoyed my experience there. A friend of mine had had a cut done thru the college and said she had a good experience so I thought I would try it out as I had been looking for a new stylist. I am very happy with the cut and the overall experience was great! I would definitely recommend going there - discounted cut fee's but more importantly, helping these students gain experience! I would go there again for cuts and likely other services. I wish Steph all the best in her career and hope that I can find her later on down the road after graduation as I would certainly adopt her as my new stylist!

I went in expecting "what I paid for" a beginners quality colour and came out with professional looking colour I was very impressed with the service and I would definitely go back again. I also got a massage there once and it was fantastic I fealt greet after. I had no specific ailments so it was just a relaxation massage and it was wonderful. I always recommend people on a tight budget to try mc college.

I never go here unless it's for the basic of basics kind of services like a less than an inch trim (I like to keep my hair long) and a one colour nail fill. Occasionally I'll get a facial here which has always been a good experience too but if you want something that may require more detail and attention like a multicolor hair dye or some crazy nail designs I would suggest somewhere with staff that have years more experience than the STUDENTS at mc college. Other than that I love the results and the price. I'd also go more often if someone would actually pick up the phone when I call four times on the same day but I guess they're getting too busy now.

It was very good experience I had today at the college. Mairead was very professional in the way she communicated with me in the chair; and did not dug into my scalp when shampooing like I have had in the past. Would recommend this young lady and the school for teaching her properly. Mairead should have a long and prosperous career as a stylist????????????????????????????????

Some good things and some not so good things about this place. Good things; 1. The students were amazingly friendly and warm and genuine. They really took the time to do an excellent job and you can tell that they take great pride in what they were doing. 2. The instructors were also very very friendly and you could see that they treated their students with a genuine level of respect. 3. Quality of what was completed was very good. Things that they could improve on; 1. Pedicure chairs were extremely uncomfortable. I'm personally 6'3" and it was very awkward sitting in the chairs that they had. And when I stood up eventually I was so sore from sitting. 2. When I got a manicure again chairs very very uncomfortable. Why not offer a office chair or something much more comfortable vs a really awkward chair. 3. The manicure stations looked worn out and chipped and old. If your going to charge student a decent amount for schooling where does the money go to ?? 4. My wife commented on their lack of selection with nail polishes. There was approx 20. And most were the same color just multiple bottles. 5. Massage room 7 was ice ice cold and I mean you could see your breathe cold. And if your going to give someone a massage..why not have a massage table vs a regular table. Also might wanna have a pillow under limbs for more comfort. AND MAKE SURE THAT NO ONE WALKS INTO THE ROOM (Happened 3x's that someone walked in while my wife and I were getting our massage's). A sign should be put up indicating occupied.

Love my haircut! They have an instructor check the student's work after which is really reassuring.
