I believe there's a new management team. The name has changed. My daughter is a student at The Canadian Beauty Academy and loves it there! My family and friends go there to have our haircuts doves, etc. read more

DO NOT GO HERE... I don't even wanna leave one star but to leave a review apparently you have to select at least one... I don't think I've ever left a review in my entire life but this was so brutal I figured I better share my experience to prevent anyone else from having their hair effed up... but I digress. I decided to go here because I figured I was just getting a trim and I mean, how bad could someone mess that up.. the answer BAD. The price was not worth the overall cost.. I ended up paying double just to get my hair fixed. I also lost almost ALL of my length in the process and I had decently long hair to begin with.. which I had spent the previous 4 years growing... the teacher did nothing at the end to even attempt to improve it... and on top of it all my ear was hot and extremely irritated afterwards from the girl scratching it over and over and over again with the comb... she also even mentioned at the start that she was going to be graduating soon and so I thought it would all be ok... but sadly, it was a disaster. Again, do not go here... worst cut of my life. I wish I could upload a picture to show just how brutal it was... people said my hair looked like it had been put through a shredder... so just imagine that.. read more

I have been going there to get my hair done for a few years and the staff and students are very friendly and professional. I had highlights and lowlights done. I love my hair. read more

I had my hair bleached 4x in one week by a student at TSPA in mid Jan. My hair was completely virgin and in very good health. This was done because they wanted to make my hair pure white. The lightener blend, which is what I understood to be flash and 40, was applied to my entire scalp several times. I am not sure if they mixed a weaker bleach for what they applied to my scalp, it was tough to follow along because I was sitting in the chair 6+ hours daily. Days later, my scalp 100% peeled off in large chunks. I've experienced intense sensitivity to all hair products including breaking out in painful rashes all around my hairline, consistent irritation and redness. This has been persistent till this day (almost 2 months later). I have spent over 100$ in products trying to soothe my scalp and attempt to fix it. This was all with Ms L keeping an eye on the student and jumping in to help her. I went in 3 weeks ago to have my hair fixed up by the same girl; they applied dye to my roots. I had asked for a balayage look and it was nowhere near the photo I showed. It didn't seem like the teachers were really paying attention to what the student was doing. I went to a high-end salon a few days ago for a consultation because I was not happy with the uneven, patchy dye job that I got. I was told by my stylist that I needed to see a doctor and that she would not work on me until I do, because she and several of the other stylists at the salon were convinced I had chemical burn. The doc prescribed me Prednisone, told me I cant have any chemicals near my head for 3 months, and that I can't shower for 3 weeks. I called the school to inform the director to tell her that the doctor and other stylists suspect I had been chemically burned from the lightener mixture, and she immediately acted very defensive, and asked me several times why I didn't come forward sooner. I told her that I didn't realise how bad it was until a professional stylist told me she wouldn't work on me. She later called me back and said she 100% backs her students and teachers, and that I must have somehow done that to my scalp myself, and that she won't do anything about it. Basically, I will never go back there. I will be fair and say that they were really nice to me the whole time I was physically there. Ms L and the other students and teachers were kind to me. I am very upset about the state of my hair and scalp though. read more

WARNING: The students do not work under the direction of a teacher and they are extremely careless. Both times I asked a student to trim the bottom of my hair, they both cut off more than I wanted them to. I've decided not to go there again because the students don't appear to be learning and all the beautiful hair it took me years to grow is gone. The customer service is horrible. I went to this place because I was given a $5 coupon. When I called the Salon to schedule an appointment with the student whose name was on the card, they booked my appointment with someone else. When I went to pay for my haircut, the student didn't ask me if I had a coupon so I was charged $15 rather than $8. While he was entering my credit card details, I told him I had a coupon and to cancel the payment and he said he couldn't do that so ask for the discount next time I'm there. Then he left the building and lit a cigarette. Well, there won't be a next time. I called the Visa center when I got home and was told that technically the school can reverse the charge on my credit card so I am going to have a conversation with the Director. read more

Have gone here for several years and have had very minimal complaints for a hair school. That being said they have changed over management and things have gone completely south. Today I had a girl ruin my hair (while I couldn't see what they were doing) while the teacher watched approved and supervised. Now you may think I am being dramatic but I have essentially two different lengths of hair. The front is a bob, the back is long, to my butt. I have never been so disappointed with a service in my life. I understand it's a school but you would think the teachers would know better. Once the teacher realized how awful it was she did nothing to try to remedy the situation. After many years I will never be returning. No complaints on the nail side though. read more

DO NOT GO HERE. I have been going to TSPA for years for basic highlights and cuts, having had good experiences I went back for an ombre color. The student doing my hair refused to listen to the teacher insisting she had a "better way". I left with dye all over my face and neck, and a very splotchy, patchy brown ombre that had not been blended at all. I called back asking for the salon to fix it. Got a new student who wanted to fix the brown and tone the horrible blonde color they put in. The instructor, Ms. L told the student she was "being a perfectionist" and refused to tone hair that she had bleached. In fact, I was told to "just use a purple shampoo at home" instead of having the salon fully correct their mistake. I know have long brown roots, bright red spots from untoned bleach and a green blonde underneath. Don't waste your time or money. The instructors there care even less about your hair than the students. read more

This school is VERY unorganized. The students are expected to do exams on models without the proper materials or training. They don't teach the students how to properly disinfect the equipment or how to properly do any of the services, the teachers have lost the students tests and the students are forced to re take them. When it comes for graduation time they don't properly keep track of the hours you need to make up so some girls have to make up extra hours cause of their screw ups. I've heard the teachers and students talk trash about each other multiple times. The administration woman Stephanie has bs coming out of both ends. She'll tell you anything you want to hear in order to get you enrolled and then rips you off big time. They charge 2000$ for the kits and the students get about 100$ worth of tools for the kits and they charge you extra for the ear piercing kit and lash extension kit. All the kits for each enrolments change every time so each girl has a different kit. Some girls are left with practically nothing. DO NOT GO TO THIS SCHOOL read more
