EC gets a middle of the road "A-ok" from me.
In their Southgate Centre location they have what I would consider to be the best esthetician I've ever been to, Isidra. Highly recommend her (especially for waxes).
However, that being said I find EC to be expensive and somewhat overly pretentious. I find the front desk staff to be unhelpful and sometimes condescending.
Also, I had my hair done once hear after a consultation and it turned out HORRIBLE. I told my stylist I didn't like it and nothing was done.
So, if you're going to an excellent esthetician or stylist EC is great, if you're unlucky and get a not-so-fabulous one you may find the prices to be inflated and the staff unfriendly. -

Do NOT ever get your hair done at Eveline Charles, not even if you get a gift certificate or someone offers to pay for it. I could use a million synonyms for this place: horrible, atrocious, disgusting, appalling, obnoxious, etc - you get the idea.
I got my hair cut and colored here, to be exact I had my hair dyed black & red, and cut by about 3 inches. It cost me ... *drum roll* ... 550 dollars. Yes, that is right, five hundred and fifty dollars. That would have been tolerable if my hair was gorgeous, or heck, even acceptable. I got home and realized that the hair coloring genius had dropped bleach on my head and there was 4 circular spots of white on my newly dyed black & red hair. On top of that, the cut was uneven and visibly amateur. It gets better ... I made an appointment to have my hair re done in 2 days. Within those 2 days I washed it once and all of the hair dye washed out. I was left with grey & pink hair with spots of circular white.
I contacted the main Salon rep and she "apologized" and offered to have my hair re done for free - well no SHIT.
On top of the lack of talent and skill, this place is so fake and pretentious it's not even funny. All of the stylists look like clowns and walk around like they are some hair artists working for a highly regarded salon.
This place is a joke.Listed in: Places to Avoid in Edmonton

My daughter had dyed her her hair black and then wanted to lighten it - so we used bleach on it. We made a big mistake as this didn't turn out so good, so we decided to forget trying to do it on the cheap and go to the best - Eveline Charles - we thought. Two of the hairdressers looked at her hair and treated us as if we had committed a crime - shaking of heads and tisking. It took four hours, and the young woman who did her hair, didn't speak one word to my daughter the whole time. It was an extremely unpleasant experience for us, especially for my daughter. We actually did return to Eveline Charles twice after that (once at the South Common salon) thinking maybe it was just those two particular hairdressers - but it was a very expensive and disappointing experience all three times!! I guess I must be a bit slow - but I have finally learned my lesson. I will NEVER go there again, and neither will my daughters.

What can I say about Eveline Charles . . .
First of all, it is ridiculously overpriced. I got my hair cut and colored there once and cost me over $200.
Second, I had to come back to get my hair fixed after that visit because the two colors mixed and some washed out so I ended up with white and blue spots on my head. It was not pretty.
I also find that the air in Eveline Charles is very stuffy. I don't mean the physical air, I mean the atmosphere or the feel. It's very stuck up and pretentious. I've never tried any of their spa treatments. After the disaster with my hair, I vowed never to go back again.
If you're looking for an upper class, over priced, mediocre salon or spa, you might like this place.
I've been to other spas and the staff actually care about the customers whereas here, I felt that I was just another pawn bringing in my money.

History
Established in 1984
EvelineCharles™ is an internationally recognized salon & spa industry leader and entrepreneurial success story.
In 1974, Eveline Charles entered into the hair & beauty industry and ten years later, she opened her first salon, Bianco Nero, in Edmonton, Alberta. In 1995, Eveline seized the opportunity to be on the cutting edge of the new day spa movement and expanded her salon to include a full-service spa; by 1998, a second Bianco Nero salon and spa was opened in West Edmonton Mall.
Meanwhile, Eveline stepped out from behind the salon chair to put all of her efforts into developing her salon business. A year later, Eveline was faced with a difficult decision - in order to expand her salon business into other markets and develop beauty product lines she would need a new company name. Bianco Nero was re-branded as EvelineCharles™ Salons * Spas in 1999.
Today, EvelineCharles Salons & Spas has 9 locations in Edmonton, Calgary and Kelowna.
