    I "worked" for CMAC for a few months (back in 2004 I think.) TOTAL SCAM. All they care about is…read moreselling classes and photoshoots to unsuspecting people. My paycheques bounced all the time. I'm not sure what any of them did all day, I think I was the only one who actually tried to work. One time when they had a "runway class" and the instructor never showed up they asked me to teach it. I was a receptionist, and had never even attempted a runway walk. "They won't know the difference." I was told. I don't know what they are up to now, but I wouldn't trust them based on my experience. So many thumbs down.

    This "business" should not be trusted by anyone. My family learnt that the Hard way. We signed…read moreour daughter up for Modeling with Serene. We were verbally sold on their product and service. Serene did tell us that we had the choice to use our own photographer for portfolio photos, but if we used their service, and pay their price which is higher than anyone else ($895 + GST), our daughter would receive additional photo shoots at no charge while she is registered with them. After doing some research, it did seem like a good deal on their end, if we got several photo shoots at their price compared to 1 photo shoot at with another photographer. Since we signed up and paid over 3 months ago, we tried to contact several times to receive these photos, but each time got the run around. We have contacted several people included Better Business Bureau. Since then, all we have got was a false promise to call us back the next day, then 3 days later, we received low quality, unfinished photos with "not for reproduction" in red writing through the middle of each picture. It appears that to avoid any legal action, they have sent us what they figure will fill their obligation. However, who pays a low quality, unfinished photo with writing??? and waits over 3 months to get them? Each time we have phoned them, they had no clue who we were, and no indication that they were trying to solve any issues, as each time we started from the beginning again. The Office had to talk to the Photographer then told us to talk to the photographer, then the photographer told us to talk to reception. We did not sign our daughter up to "Be famous", we signed her up for a hobby but we have realized that our money that spent between the "registration fee" and "photo shoot" were a waste of money, as this business seems to only care about taking peoples money and providing any services or products that they tell you they are going to provide. A company that does value their customer and clients, do not conduct themselves in this manner. In my opinion, anyone looking to explore the modeling industry for themselves or for child SHOULD NOT go to the place.

    A Vibrant New Look & Stellar Service at MC College! After a…read moregreat visit back in February (complete with pics!), I returned to MC College and Dalal took care of me as Chenise was not well.. and once again blown away by the kind service with a smile. I spent quite a while there for a full transformation--my greys now will be streaked in upcoming revisit but already its a whole new me! The student stylist was confident, creative, and incredibly attentive, and the instructors were absolutely brilliant in guiding and refining the process. Debulking is a skill that has to be honed which was explained..Their teamwork and professionalism made the experience feel both luxurious and empowering. The downtown #YEG location continues to be a gem, and I'm proud to support MC College for their exceptional services--whether it's hair, spa, or esthetics which I intend to explore. Their prices remain unbeatable, and the learning environment fosters real talent and care. Highly recommended for anyone looking to refresh their look and support future professionals!

    I came to MC College to accompany a friend and decided to get a simple trim while I was there. For…read morecontext, I have over 3,000 hours of training plus a 500‑hour specialization in colour and cuts from Montreal, so I have a solid sense of what a professional learning environment should look like. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing from the start. The space was extremely chaotic and noisy. Students were loud, unfocused, and constantly socializing over clients. It didn't feel like a training environment at all. I even had to ask them to quiet down because they were chatting over my head while cutting my hair. The haircut itself was poor, and even simple beard‑trim instructions were mishandled. The instructor offered very little guidance and didn't step in to correct obvious mistakes. My friend's haircut was even worse -- genuinely upsetting to see. The one bright spot was Miranda at the front desk. She was calm, elegant, professional, and genuinely welcoming. She was the only person who gave the place any sense of order. Overall, the service and training quality were far below expectations. A+ for Miranda. Unfortunately, the rest of the experience was an F.
