This review is only relevant to bridal hair - I haven't come here for any other services, so I…read morecan't speak to that. But, if you're looking for a place to get your hair done for your wedding day, along with your bridal party, this is the place!! I booked myself and my four bridesmaids in to get our hair done for my wedding day. Christina was very helpful with the booking process and recommending the amount of time we would need to get ready. I had my hair trial about a month and a half before the wedding when I was in town, and I was so impressed with my stylist. My hair was perfect on the first try, and she was able to bring my vision to life while tailoring it to my features. I was a bit nervous on the big day that everything would go smoothly and we would be on time. I had nothing to worry about. We were finished around 20 minutes earlier than Christina estimated. Our stylists were super personable, kind and fun. We decided to get our hair done at the salon, and you get mimosas and snacks, which was a really nice touch. Most importantly, everyone loved their hair!! I was so pleased that everyone loved it. Pictures looked awesome. Thank you Icon for making my hair look so perfect for my wedding day!

I get a good haircut here with Riley, and I do keep coming back…read more I do think it's worth mentioning that the last couple of times I've had a haircut booked, they call me and move it within about an hour of the appointment. There is no reason given, and although I understand things happen and come up, it doesn't reflect well on the business if I can't rely on them to consistently make their appointments. Not to mention their own cancellation policy requires 24 hours in advance. Although I intend to return to get my haircut this time, I'm not sure that I will continue to come back if appointments keep getting moved like this.

**Do not attend under any circumstances** ** ZERO REFUND…read morePOLICY ** TL/DR: Went for a cut and colour, came out 7 hours later with almost no colour and extremely damaged hair. Cut and colour (Pink) appointment for a was for 2:15pm this Saturday. Very important: I'm a natural blonde. I wanted to support a vegan salon and was very excited for the appointment. Took an hour drive to get there. Boyfriend had to wait in the car due to COVID-19 restrictions (He said he didn't mind waiting the 2-3 hours for the appointment, he's good to me like that). Everything seemed okay on arrival. She cut ends off and started applying the bleach. She had to keep re-applying water to the bleach because it kept flaking. When I was placed under the heat, there was so much water in my hair that my hair began to steam: there's now a steam burn on the back of my head. Not comfortable. (Couldn't sleep last night and even warm showers are incredibly painful) I kept asking, "Is everything going to work?" She kept reassuring me that it would. Because the back of my head was burned, we weren't able to use heat for the bleach any longer and had to keep reapplying. This was about three hours in. She didn't really seem to know what colour to use in my hair or what pink would work. Maybe this was just a matter of experimentation, but it wasn't what I expected when I was referred to their hairstylist who was "most experienced with pink." It didn't feel like a very professional experience: I showed the colour I wanted, but she kept asking me if it matched... isn't that your job? Anyways. Two bleaches later and a few failed attempts at applying colour, and all I'm left with now is what you see in the pictures. Please note the extremely damaged ends that I'll now have to have repaired and trimmed down even further. I did not leave until 7:45pm. Please be aware that they understood that I was driving in for this appointment and that - again - they knew my boyfriend was waiting in the car (Though they did offer to invite him inside when social distancing was reasonable, which was kind). I'm extremely disappointed and will not be returning, nor do I recommend you or anyone else go. I'd also like to point out their "no-refund" policy. After all of this damage? Seriously? How much do you think it cost them in bleach/colour? I'm paying for the hair-stylists time, which they spent damaging my hair instead of cutting and styling it. I should not have been charged at all. If a restaurant gave you food poisoning and said "It's okay, you can come eat here again next week," - WOULD YOU? No! I will be getting my hair fixed elsewhere and will not be taking up their offer to "fix" my hair. Truthfully, I did not want to have to post this review. It breaks my heart to have to call out an organization that supports my vegan values like this, but my treatment has been unjust. Any professional salon would have refunded this. Do not attend: 0/5. (Note my hair was still wet at the bottom of my hair in these pictures.)

I asked for a blunt shoulder skimming bob with no layers, I got a completely uneven shredded mess. Complained to owner and she just offered to cut it more. No refund. it drew a crowd at the other salon. Got asked if it was a junior stylist that got in over her head and couldn't figure out what to do. Nope. Senior stylist that completely ignored the photos I showed her. I'll post the example photo, then what I got. and I had hair down to the middle of my back.

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.

The academy is a busy, frenetic atmosphere. Lots going on. I…read morewas a walk- in on a Friday morning. I didn't think they'd take me, but I got right in. The young stylist did not introduce herself. She was a bit timid. She asked the pre-requisite questions. Very pleasant person She washed my hair, but she could have been a little more vigorous. I got a "wee" scalp massage. She was gentle as she brushed my hair. I appreciated this as a nice change from my last stylist. She cut my hair EXACTLY as I asked. Her instructor checked her work. AOK! She then proceeded to give me a blow-out. It wasn't really as smooth as it should have been, so she flat ironed it. When she was done, her instructor gave her the "nod". I guess she passed. I was not offered a mirror to see the back of my hair. She could have exuded a bit more confidence. I'm actually glad she didn't "natter" the whole time. It was $25.00. You are supposed to ask the checkout to add your tip amount to your card because the machine doesn't have a tip function. I guess you could leave cash. I will do that next time. Who knows if that tip made it to my stylist's pocket. I have no way to ask for her next time as she didn't tell me her name. It's a clean space with nice wall art and music from the 70's and 80's. (They must have seen me coming. Hahaha.) For that price, I'll be back.

I was lucky enough to stumble across this hair salon when my longtime hairdresser had the nerve to…read moreget married and move out of town. I don't recall who recommended me to Diane, but I was happy right from the start. Then, Diane had the nerve to move out of province as well. I was getting a bit paranoid. Was it the colour of my roots? my overly greasy hair follicles? Perhaps I had moaned and shown a bit of inappropriate appreciation for the scalp massage? Luckily for me, when Diane left, she handed me over to Jessica. Although I was worried I would have to search high and low for a new hairdresser, I got lucky twice in a row at Cutting Edge. I can only assume it was not a coincidence and that they hire good quality people. The salon itself is comfortable and fashionable without being intimidating or too "chi-chi". There is a wide range in age of hairstylists so you don't feel overwhelmed with young multi-coloured, pierced & tattooed teeny boppers but not so old you feel you will come out with a blue rinse and set. Overall, a nice well-rounded collection of hairstylists.
