Aveda Institute or Atelier Institute in New York???

I've been looking into school in New York and I'm not sure which one to attend. Anybody have any feedback on the Aveda Institute or Atelier Institute in New York??? Any other school suggestions???

Isn't Atelier Institute in New York ITEC Certified?

Depends what you want. Aveda Institute will teach Aveda - and not much of peels, machines etc, so it can be limiting in that regard. Atelier Institute is oriented towards contemporary skincare. Annette Hansen is an educator who stays up to date in her profession, and can often be found presenting at skincare conferences & shows.

If I had the reserves in live in NY for one year as an unemployed student, and if the Atelier Institute is plugged into the Federal Loan programs, I would go to the ITEC school (which is similar to CIDESCO). I respect owners are movers and shakers (like me)!

I've been researching the "Christine Valmy" school in nyc. Beside the fact
that Ateleir offers an ITEC certificte I'm not sure which is better.

Any comments about "Christine Valmy" would be helpful.

thanks.

I took a chemical peel class at Atelier the techer was very good but I think if you want your ITEC you have to take there ITEC classes even if your going to there school. But the product line that they use there I dont think is organic were as Aveda is.
I went to the Christine Vamky in NJ and I felt that my education was ok, now when I for jobs employers are impressed that I went there.... they alway say "wow". there you only learn there product line but in any school you are only going to learn one line. in a way is good because it gives you a starting point to work from.

I went to Atelier a few years ago and they were going through some major problems. Teachers coming and going, Annette having breakdowns... However, I would recommend the school over the others in NYC--a decent education and people who care about skin care.

Hi this comment is to Rebekah..How did you like your education at Christine Valmy? I am planning on attending next month for the aesthetics course. I want to make sure I pick a good school that impresses employers. Have you found good work out there in the industry? It is between this school and Artistic Academy in Morris Plains NJ. Your thoughts and input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much!

hi,
i have friends/colleagues that have gone to Aveda in soho and really thought the quality of the program was strong. they have strong connections in nyc and around and she is working with a nice spa in the city. they are accredited and offer financial aid.

I am currently attending the Aveda institute in Florida and I love it! I am also in the esthetician program and it is amazing. I looked @ several schools before this and they just taught you the basics. Sure you are going to learn micro-peels (which is terrible for your skin), botox ect. but @ Aveda it is pure, organic which is the way the world is changing to. The 2nd week of school and we were already doing facials. They also help you find jobs. My este instructors wife made $50k last summer only doing waxing..Also, my teacher was an mechanical engin. and is now in esthetician instructor..so there has to be some money..ha

Does anyone know anything about the message therapy program at Aveda? Or about how much they make?

i think it depends what school you go to.
as far as is know, each state has different requirements which can result in different prices for school.
