I know perms are not vey popular but I like to get them before going on a long holiday. I went for the consultation and liked what I was told so I booked. Before leaving I asked the receptionist (who booked the appointment and talked with the stylist) how much would the perm be. She said $120.00, I thought that was an average price. At first I was impressed with stylist but after she took out the rods you could see some of the ends were badly fried (not a big deal) but I had to ask her to trim them. When I went to pay I was told it was $189 (at this price one would think a trim is included). I told the receptionist I was quoted $120 but all she could do was make excuses as to the difference. The perm is OK not spectatular and deffinitely not worth $189. If you do decide to book verifty the price before they start, you won't get any break once done.

Oooo and I thought I was the only one that had a not so good experience at Evelyn Charles. I am originally from Alberta and on a recent trip back I went to Evelyn Charles to get my hair done as I thought it was comparable to a Natural Solutions kind of salon in Toronto. While the products they carry are good and the ambiance is fine, I was not at all impressed with the staff. They are unbelievably snotty like they are the 'it stylists' of the city. I hate to break to them but there are plenty salons on their level around Canada (Alberta included) with more friendly staff who know what they are doing and make you feel great while you are there. Skip Evelyn Charles and try somewhere else.
