I find prices for a decent haircut and style these days are blown out of proportion, I mean $120 for a cut and style at some Westmount salons? Really? What are you putting into my hair? Diamond dust? I have been coming to Academie Tornade now for about 8 years and not once have I had a negative experience. Yes, it's true, these are coiffures in training, but the supervisor on the floor watching them (because they are being graded after all) is a professional so in case a student does get stuck on a tricky cut, the supervisor will step in. A wash,cut and style will set you back $12. Yup, $12 bucks and you walk out with a fab haircut. I always do my research before going, get on the internet, look at hairstyles or cuts I want, print it up and bring that along with me to show to the student so they know what they're doing. You won't believe how grateful they are when they have an exact idea of what needs to be done, and that's far easier than giving out instructions which may end up confusing the stylist. It does help if you speak French, but I've had stylists who were also bilingual. The St. Denis outlet is by far the busiest but the one up on Fleury is also a great place, plus there are some great boutiques in the area to browse in afterwards.
