Green Circle Salons and the Academy of Excellence have joined forces to keep people AND our planet beautiful!
We are proud to be one of Vancouver Island’s greenest cosmetology schools. We believe that the best solution involves everyone – when everyone is involved, everyone wins.
Through our partnership with Green Circle Salons, we ensure that 100% of hair, foils, colour tubes, papers, plastics, and excess chemicals are recycled and repurposed in an environmentally responsible way.
Our planet benefits when we all contribute to this change and are working together to reduce the environmental impact. You, our guests, win by contributing too, and benefiting from a positive green experience. We have implemented a $1.50 Eco Fee per visit. The planet thanks you!
We strive to reduce our overall global carbon footprint with our eco-friendly salon practices.
We are partnering with a Harvard student to measure our reduced footprint at the salon.
Choosing a school should be fun and informative! The first step is to schedule a tour to visit the campus and meet with our registrar. Allow us to answer your questions, show you the campus, and see firsthand what it’s like to be an Academy student! If you feel the Academy of Excellence is a good fit, you can schedule an interview and proceed with the enrollment process.
Let's make this your year! Let us get you all the info you need. Don't sit on the sidelines. We're friendly and love helping. Book a free tour of the academy.
