Following in my Mother's Footsteps
by Shauni Poyser - Cosmetology
Growing up I have always wanted to follow in my mother's footsteps and become a hairstylist. Not only did I want to create different looks, I wanted to give women that one hour to relax and leave the salon feeling their best. I knew I needed not only the technical training but the interpersonal skills. EvelineCharles is recognized for their technical abilities and for their programs to better educate a business orientated stylist; but what most appealed to me was when I [...] Read more.

EC Challenged My Creative Mind
by Demi-Arseneault - Cosmetology
During my experience at EC I have come across many opportunities to showcase what I am capable of. My best memory though, is the High School Symposium. Each student that volunteered got a model and a photo of what exactly we were supposed to execute. The model chosen for me was one of my friends Ainsley and the photo consisted of a side swept updo. Although the updo was beautiful, Ainsley would need extensions but they were unavailable to us. After talking to my instructor [...] Read more.

Hair Massacure
by Demi Arseneault- Cosmetology
The lights go up and the music starts to play. From afar I could hear a man starting to speak into the microphone. As I look up I see not just one person but a whole family. I stand and listen as they tell the story of her daughter having cancer and her fight to survive. Behind me I also notice the hundreds of people lining up eager to shave their heads for this wonderful cause. As I stand at my chair I feel inspired and at the same time [...] Read more.

6:00 am the alarm goes off, as it has three days a week for the last ten months. There's no sense hitting the snooze button, those few extra minutes will turn to a few extra hours and then you are late!
The morning starts off to a slow start, small breakfast, a shower to wake you up, and at least three cups of coffee just to get a kick start. You now have to decide on [...] Read more.

Summer Sun Tips
by Casandra Dagenais- Cosmetology
What's in? Protecting your skin!!
SPF 30 on your face and lips at all times will help prevent sun damage, wrinkles and possible skin cancers. Your skin does not stop tanning for 24 hours so be sure to reapply throughout the day if necessary. Mixing a little into your concealer or foundation and set with a light sheer powder should help to lock it in.
What's hot? Hair Repair!
Don't get too crazy with your hair masks! Absolutely no more than 2 times [...] Read more.

How To Diffuse Curly Hair - by Samantha Reesor- Cosmetology Student
Many people with curly hair don't like to wear their hair curly. I believe this is because they have never been shown how to diffuse it properly. Many people with curly hair will simply scrunch their hair when blow drying it, and are generally not happy with the results. Sassoon has created yet another innovation; a way to diffuse curly hair without frizz, flyaway and crunchy hair. In order to diffuse curly hair just follow these 3 simple steps:
1) After detangling hair and adding [...]

I chose to attend EvelineCharles Academy for many reasons: the reputation, the cutting techniques of Sassoon, the clean and modern salon atmosphere, but most of all I chose ECA for the 3 day Cosmetology Program. I saw this as a way to escape the "9-5" routine as well as the opportunity to work in a salon to gain experience on my alternate days. This proved to be more advantageous then I first thought.
While working as an apprentice, I have experienced first hand the fast pace of a successful salon. I have built relationships with other stylists and have learned from [...] Read more.
