While there once was a stigma to getting your hair cut by student hairstylists, the Est-Elle Academy of Hair Design has smashed through that. Started in 1980 by two sisters with years of experience in hairstyling, Kevin Reimer took over in 1992 and has continued to produce some of western Canada’s best stylists. He's proud to see the school’s success being noticed by people in-the-know. “Within the industry, we gained a good reputation – I would say a very good reputation,” Kevin says. “I think cosmetology teachers and local hairstylists that know us have said very kind things about us.”
Kevin says they have had students who say they were told the only place to go is to Est-Elle Academy of Hair Design. “It’s nice when you hear that. It means we must be doing something right.”
