She was one of the top fashion models of the 1990s. Whilst modeling in Japan in the early 1990s she made the bold decision to shave her head bald and have a Chinese dragon tattooed on her scalp. [ [http://inkedmag.com/inked_people/2/ Inked Magazine interview about her tattoos] ] Her distinctive look was spotted by Jean Paul Gaultier and soon she became a top model in the European fashion capitals. She would often grow her hair and dye it blonde, red or even pink. For the last few years she has sported very short blonde hair and moved away from modeling, but returned to the catwalk in 2006. In 2007 she shaved her head again and is currently bald (September 2007).

Salvail appeared as herself in the Robert Altman film "Prêt-à-Porter". She also made appearances in "The Fifth Element" and "Zoolander". She has appeared on the covers of several magazines including "ELLE", "Marie Claire" and "Wired". Salvail also appeared in a Lenny Kravitz music video.

On the January 9, 2007 episode of the Tyra Banks Show titled "Coming Out Stories", Salvail is said to have come out of the closet. [ [http://www.pinknews.co.uk/news/articles/2005-3455.html "Supermodel Salvail comes out as a lesbian"] at Pink News] She also made an appearance on Tyra's show "America's Next Top Model" where she talked to the girls of Cycle 6 about how her career got started.

For some time she was the lead singer in a band called "Ten Watt Mary". She has also collaborated with Bryan Adams. In more recent years Eve Salvail has been working as a DJ in New York, often using the name DJ Evalicious.
