Delmar College is a beauty and hairstyling vocational education institution located in Alberta, Canada. The text states that it has been training industry professionals since 1950, with campuses in Calgary and Red Deer. Its programs focus on career skills rather than general online education, with the core goal of helping students enter industries such as hair salons, barbershops, spas, beauty, skincare, and permanent makeup.
The school’s programs include a 1,400-hour Hairstyling Diploma, 525-hour Barbering Diploma, Professional Esthetics Diploma, Clinical Esthetics, Nail Technology, Dermaplaning, Body Scrubs & Wraps, Permanent Makeup, and Tiny Tattoo. Its teaching approach is either “online theory + in-person hands-on practice” or fully in-person practical training, emphasizing live models, supervised practice, client salon experience, and small-group training. Professional Esthetics covers modules such as skincare, nails, hair removal, lashes and brows, body treatments, basic makeup, and business operations. The PMU courses offer certificates in microblading, machine techniques, powder brows, lip coloring, eyeliner, and tiny tattoos.
Delmar says it is licensed by Alberta Advanced Education’s Private Career Colleges Branch and registered under the Private Vocational Training Act, and that it is also a member of NACC and AACS. Its instructors include hairstylists, barbers, estheticians, platform artists, medical spa professionals, and salon owners. It is worth noting that hairstyling/barbering licenses are not obtained simply by completing a course; the FAQ states that apprenticeship hours and government exams are still required.
Fees fall into the mid-to-high range typical of career colleges. Professional Esthetics costs around CAD 10,950 in Calgary and around CAD 10,145 in Red Deer; Dermaplaning is about CAD 1,000–1,995; Body Scrubs & Wraps is CAD 850; individual permanent makeup courses are about CAD 1,072–3,720, while the full PMU program is listed at CAD 6,995 after scholarship discounts. The school mentions RESP, private payment plans, third-party financing, and discounts for combining modules.
The advantages are its long operating history, clearly segmented programs, high level of hands-on training, and close alignment with real career settings. It is practical for those planning to work or start a business in Canada’s beauty industry. The drawbacks are its strong reliance on in-person attendance and limited information on support for international students; some pages have confusing dates and price formatting; overall costs are not low, and the licensing pathway still requires additional apprenticeship and exams.
It is better suited to beginners in beauty and hairstyling, career changers, and practitioners who live in or plan to study in Alberta, as well as those who want to add PMU, skincare, or spa services. It is not suitable for people who only want remote learning or cannot attend in-person practical training. The text does not state whether it is accessible from mainland China, so this is considered unknown.
