Reviews of NIWE Academy (Hairdressing)

Jani Domawa

NIWE Academy is one of the best schools in the city. It has a family atmosphere with the owners freely supporting the staff and students in a way that you will never find in any other school. In here, students have a voice and you can approach anyone from instructors to management and they will give you the time and the effort to give you their best no matter the circumstance. The courses are comprehensive and come highly recommended whether you are taking short courses to add to your repertoire of skills or looking for a change in career in the beauty or massage industry. They will soon offer distance learning and online courses allowing you to come in and focus on your practical skills - skills that you will need in the world, skills that will allow you to succeed. I am super excited about distance learning options. Imagine being able to keep working and learning at your own pace at the comfort of your own home and time and on those times you come to school, you will be trained on what matters. NIWE offers a lot of opportunities and potential. If you want to strike that work-life-school balance... If you want a school that cares for you.... If you want to learn in a place that values who you are and what you can become... This is your school!

My experience with NIWE was nothing but positive! Really good communication and it has a very professional atmosphere. Ashley was very helpful in the registration process. I am really looking forward to starting the clinical aesthetics program!

I’m currently taking my hair dresser course here at NIWE and everyday is exciting and interesting for me to learn more about my course. And with all honesty, my educator, Mr Russel Langley, is the best ever. He’s brilliant and full of passion in teaching and kind as well. I’m grateful to have had a such an awesome teacher like him. Thank you for all the wisdom and knowledge you shared and setting a great example to us. And because of that I was really inspired to follow his example. I also thank all the staff here in NIWE because they’re the nicest people and very accommodating. staff are nicest people and accommodated. I also heard about Mr Russel Langley is

Hi there, My name is Batool Daud, I was student at NIWE since 2015 and I finished in 2019. I learned everything for beautician over there as in cosmetics, esthetic and clinical. It's a great school you get to learn everything you like and much more. The people there are so nice they treat you like a family and it was the best experience of my life to be honest.

I am close to finishing the clinical aesthetician program at NIWE Academy, it has been a great experience. The class and instructors were amazing! Friendly environment. Definitely recommend going here.

Sonia Bedi

Love this place, perfect place to pamper yourself, its pocket friendly and the services are far better than most of the salons. They go above and beyond, quality service, wonderful staff. As they train students but the faculties are always around and keep checking if the quality is top notch or not. I even use the products they offer, and it's really nice unlike many....

First and foremost, the school was absolutely stunning. I been to the other beauty schools and nothing felt more at home than NIWE. As soon as you walk in, the energy is soothing. The staff was so amazing. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I had a tour with Ashley there and she was so sweet and very informative. She made me feel like I was so welcome there and she didn’t pressure me like the other schools did. She deserves a raise lol. She was 100% on communication and fast at responding. This school blows the others out of the water by far. Well so far with my experience. I’m so excited to start the barbering course. I met one of the teachers on my visit and she was so sweet and bubbly. I knew right then and there I was going to have a blast. I can make a list of pros and cons with my tours so far in Calgary finding a school, but NIWE just hit the nail on the spot. I am so confident about this place.

Maddie John

I had a service for an abdomen skin tightening. Upon arriving the staff at the front were so welcoming and friendly. I met my esthetician Alisha she was absolutely amazing. She was very professional and I immediately felt comfortable with her. She and her mentor explained the procedure. I felt well-informed. I surely will be back for more services. To anyone looking for service. They offer so many different kinds of services there at affordable prices. I highly recommend Niwe academy and Alisha Thank you.

NIWE provides a welcoming environment for all. Very friendly and great skills, explains to you the services done and how they are professional with what they do. As a school, they are willing to walk you through what you need to know with instructors having over 60years of experience brought together. Prices are very affordable, as a school they aim at making clients feeling happy about themselves while providing students the best hands on experience and protection.

Allison Courterelle

They were fabulous. Took my daughter for a mani/pedi and they gave her just what she needed. They had fabulous staff and it was very comfortable. They modified everything to be comfortable for a 4.5 year old . My Daughter is in love with her nails. They made this a great experience. Diana was quick to volunteer her tablet and YouTube for entertaining my daughter when she got bored of waiting on drying or filing. When the appointment went longer than normal because both ladies accommodating my daughters need to take breaks and showed her kindness and patience. When she said I'm hungry bc it was now snack time, my nail tech gave her a cheese wheel and some biscuits. While hers breaked and let her eat. It was just a great experience. They were so careful and gentle to her. I'm thrilled with both ladies that did our mani/pedis. The wonderful teacher who helped at every step to modify the services for a little girl who wanted to feel pampered. Well done, Allison and Keirra

Krista Bottineau

Started the registered massage therapy course back in January. Schedule is flexible and allows me to keep my day job. Johnny and Jesa are amazing with the students. Very well communicated and makes sure you understand fully before moving on to the next subject. Looking forward to the new space as the massage rooms now are pretty tight. Love, light and laughter ✌️

Kabeer Abbas

What a tremendous cut by Aryu ????

Nishant Inamdar

Hats off to Gunwant sekhou. Best massage I ever had in my life. She knew the exact area of problem and applied sufficient amount of pressure. Timely made sure if I was comfortable with the pressure. Keep up the great work ????

Kayla Allen

Love it here! Vibe and energy is amazing! Mala rocks❤️❤️❤️❤️

Stephanie Acoose

NIWE provides a friendly, relaxing, € hospitable atmosphere. The technician I saw was friendly, pleasant € she provided me with a service that I was happy with when she was finished. I would recommend anyone who wants a service to attend NIWE.

Rachelle Lacharité

Niwe offers client services by students and I got a manicure with gel polish. It was a great experience, with a nice hand and arm massage, and a good quality gel application. Keep in mind services take longer than at a salon.

Been enrolled since January 2020 in Comprehensive Aesthetics. But due to pandemic, we had class suspensions, so we got delayed. I am so grateful that the Owner, Admin Team and my instructors were very considerate and accommodating - in the sense that whenever I have question or I needed help on something(related to the industry), my instructor replies. Another thing is that they have understood our situation during the pandemic, and until now, they are helping us to complete our program without giving us so much pressure. They make sure that we understood our courses, and that we are confident in what we do.

Kelcee Harris

Sarah is amazing! Very nice, informative and professional! Had my very first laser facial treatment and I have to say, I am pleasantly surprised how relaxing it was. Wasn’t expecting it to be a calming experience! Thanks Sarah!!! You were fabulous.

Hephzibah Akarakiri

cindy

Loved attending Niwe Academy. The instructors and staff were amazing. Loved clinical with my instructor Yarlie. Dané is lovely, she really made my whole enrolment and introduction to the school much easier and was always there to help or recommend the best for the students.

Shayna Leach

I went in for a tour of the school and left feeling so motivated to go back to school, I met with Ashley Mena and she was so much help she was very patient with me and was overall such a sweetheart! It was such a professional atmosphere. I’m beyond excited to start!

Antonio Conanaskin

During exploration process on the Career part on the website, I saw LYING in Massage Advertising.... 150K Easley, annually....then about life-work balance 15-30 working hours per week... lol STOP LYING TO PEOPLE!!!!!! You should PROVIDE TRUE INFORMATION .. Average Massage I town cost $85 bucks per hour. If you RMT,and you taking 6 to 7 clients per day, what will bring you to 8-9 of hours per day ×6 days a week you can make GROSS INCOME of 150K.. And remember to mention about HARD REAL DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE, and OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH HAZARDS!!! And don't even start about business owners ( massage therapy clinics etc..) Terrible and false Advertising!!!!!

Michelle

The most simple and stress-free application process ever. Along side the help of Admission Advisor Ashley Mena I was enrolled into my program that morning with a few emails. She has answered every question and more and really cared about me through the whole process!!

Elza Balogh

Niwe is an immaculate institution with lots of amazing instructors and students. Always a pleasure coming to get services done and a very reasonable price. Very happy and satisfied I found this really great beauty school.

Naomi Mackie

The staff is very friendly, and I had a good student experience overall at NIWE. However, as it is a smaller community, they don’t offer some of the benefits a larger school would, such as more extensive training in select areas.

Liliana Negrete

Niwe Academy, Is a very good school???????????? I did my nails course there,, my experience was excellent I learn a lot. Friendly and professional!!

Lisa Nguyen

The reason gọt 5 star is the management and staff were so kind and friendly to everyone. They treat you like family. It made me very comfortable and included. Only thing is that I didn't get as much teaching out of my teacher as I would like because all we did was reading the textbook and taught ourselves with theories. I know that time was a limiting factor but I wished that we had more in-class discussions and our teacher would have been a bit more envolved in terms of collaboration and communication ( by the way, our teacher was very knowledgeable, but she won't share, unless you ask questions). Anyway, I still think this is the best school with the best people who works there.

Fred Beaule

On my visits there, I did a tour and loved the attitude and energy that students and instructors had. Very professional people that love their job and want to share their passion with you. You feel more then welcome, as soon as you pass the door! They answered to all my questions.

Maria MacMinn Varvos

I have had the privilege of experiencing the services at NIWE as a new staff member as well as a client of NIWE services. I have recently been hired as Director of Education. In this position I have been able to assess up close the quality of both the curriculum and the instruction. Trainees are guided by skilled, knowledgeable and creative instructors. I have witnessed their skills first hand while receiving services in esthetics, cosmetology, hairdressing and massage. I am honoured to be part of a college that invests in quality education and training with instructors who are experienced in the most up to date techniques, equipment and innovative practices.

Hamna Jabeen

My experience as a student at NIWE Academy was fantastic. NIWE is surely an Excellent place for learning. I did comprehensive aesthetics program and was able to get Mala Anthony as an instructor for esthetic, Lorna Muray and Lisa as an instructor for Clinical Aesthtic. I am so happy with the training I received from them. They were all amazing and great Instructors. Peter has been alot of help and cheerfully answers every question I need answered. I would definitely recommend this school to anyone looking out to join the beauty industry as well as to get Services offered there.

I'm so glad I made the choice to attend NIWE Academy! All the staff are SO nice and friendly, and the instructors are absolutely amazing! Mala is an incredible instructor, she's very thorough with her teaching and pushes you to do your best. If you're thinking about taking esthetics or any program NIWE has to offer, I would absolutely recommend!

Prabhakar Reddy

I am very happy and satisfied massage therapy graduate from NIWE. It is one of the best schools for clinical aesthetics and Massage therapy. The instructors are very knowledgeable and experienced. Jesa and Johnny from massage therapy are very experienced instructors. I loved learning from them. They both cared for student development. School management are great people and listens to students concerns.

Georgie Funk

I saw Cassidy Marie for a microneedling treatment. she was very professional and did a great job. She explained the procedure and I was in and out in an timely manner. Not to mention a great value. I would see her again for services

Yassie Buenaventura

There are lots of things I love at NIWE while still studying there, but the most part is that they have a big support to their student in regards to flexibility in your personal situation... Studied Hair Stylist and Barbering there while maternity with 2 kids its not easy but I made it!!!! With the support of my Teacher Cheryl and Peter... A big thank you guys!!! Definitely will recommend NIWE...

Yasmeen Qadi

It is great place to learn and the staff very kind.

Rupinder Uppal

Niwe is the best place to go for your bright future because they have experienced staff to learn from and really best schedule option.

Kaiden Lennie

Honestly a scam. The owners are beyond unprofessional, the entire school is a mess and unorganized. The entire year I went to niwe we never once had a consistent teacher. I’m not even sure if they checked for licenses from them, that’s how terrible they were. they were not safe and we were doing procedures we were not prepared to do which is not what I payed thousands of dollars to actually learn the profession. Dr. Syed was a saving grace for my class. He took over after the 5th or so teacher and actually went into detail with us. We learnt more from someone who had never taught the course than we did from anyone else. My advice would to save your money and spend it on an institute who cares and has a solid and professional curriculum. They tend to hire some pretty sketchy people also. Here’s a tip niwe- do your background checks and look for actual teachers. You look foolish.

katty girl

The ladies there were great!! I was referred there by a student named Alisha, and my nails turned out surprisingly really good! I am planning on coming back to try some of the other services. It's easy on the wallet, and I get great service!

Niki Habibi

I’m a recent clinical aesthetic’s graduate and I had a good experience during my time at niwe. The school lacked a bit of an organization during the time that I was attending (2018-2019) but I’ve visited the school several times since then and they have improved a lot and I’m very impressed! My instructor at the time was great and very knowledgeable as well and I’m thankful for the experience!

Haley Landry

I love coming to NIWE Academy because of how friendly everyone is. Everyone helps each other when needed and has a positive attitude. Definitely one of the best schools to learn at! Amazing staff!

Kali Anderson

NIWE was a great school! I really enjoyed the atmosphere and all the lovely teachers, students, and staff. I learned so much from my program. Although the school was great, there was a lack of organization due to class sizes with very few devices. There were a lot of times students would sit around doing nothing because there was not enough for everyone with the big class sizes, which caused things to feel rushed and caused arguments between students and staff and made the environment stressful at times. But at the end of the day everyone was mature and professional and were all freinds at the end. Other than that it was a wonderful experience! And I would recommend the school!

Kaylee Armstrong

Everyone at NIWE is so friendly and caring! Great service and communication

Katy Morgans

My girlfriend has been coming here for laser hair removal for a few months now. They told her at her most recent appointment that at the last 3 sessions the laser has been set to a much lower setting than what her hair type requires. No compensation was offered despite having paid for 3 essentially worthless laser sessions. Not to mention, the students are supervised by instructors throughout the service and none of the instructors noticed that it was at the wrong setting not one time, but three?! Overall not impressed with the quality of the service and will not be recommending this service to anyone.

Val Lalumiere

They are very professional. Never had a bad experience with them in the procedures that I had gotten done. Georgi is very professional. She's very confident and professional. She makes sure that you are okay in the procedures that she does on the person. I never had any of the procedures done before but she makes you feel relaxed.

Chelsey K

Absolutely loved attending school here, some of the best staff and teachers I have ever encountered. Highly recommended to all who are looking to start a new path in life.

Lindsay Richardson

I was a little nervous as i have never had laser hair removal but I was scheduled with Georgie and she was absolutley fantastic! She made me feel so relaxed and comfortable and walked me through everything. Would highly reccomend her! Thank you Georgie!!

Emilie Le

I was enrolled in the Clinical Aesthetics program at NIWE Academy and overall my experience was great! Everyone at the school was welcoming and friendly & the instructors were amazing. Very knowledgeable and helpful in making sure we were comfortable with what we were doing and they are always there to help and support you even after you’ve completed the program!
