About Atelier Esthetique Institute of Esthetics

Dear Annette:
I attended the
waxing class and had a great experience and I came out of
the
class with more knowledge and confidence and great
techniques to advance my
career.
Education is the key to our success at Park West Hair Design
& Spa and we will
be sending our Skin Care Therapists to Atelier Esthetiques
for training.

A Thank You note
to Annette Hanson
I thought a gift of these little shea butter soaps in the
shape of "robins' eggs" were a good and rather appropriate
representation of the exciting career you've helped lay out
for me. Like many before me, I had my challenges and hurdles
to overcome with learning, however with your amazing
teachers and ever-patient staff, I am a better person today.
Thank you so much again!

Dear Ms. Hanson:
This Tuesday I received my first Atelier Esthetique
Institute treatments (glycolic facial and light). Having
anticipated a bright, noisy classroom environment, I was
pleasantly surprised to walk into a relaxing spa. Everyone
was incredibly professional and the space was clean and well
organized. Kizzy, my esthetician, was lovely and
knowledgeable, patiently answering my many questions
quickly, thoroughly and enthusiastically. She was also
gentle in administering my treatments. The instructor, Ms.
Seven, was also very professional and attentive, carefully
yet unobtrusively monitoring Kizzy's work. Moreover, she was
also extremely knowledgeable and clearly explained your
clinic's unique, FDA approved light treatment.
While it will take several visits to determine the efficacy
of the treatments, I just wanted to tell you what a
wonderful job your staff and students are doing. Kudos.
Thank you and all the best, Lisa
Lisa McMahon
I am very proud
to say that I have graduated from Atelier Esthetique and I
thank Ms. Hansen, the wonderful teachers and office
personnel for making my "back to school" experience
wonderful. The teachings of Miss Seven, Miss Tracey and Ms.
B, have made me ready and well equipped to start work as an
Esthetician. I am so happy I selected this institute.

"We look to
Atelier Esthetique when hiring. They produce well-trained
top quality, professional estheticians."
Kate Weinberg
from Nabi Medspa
Ilene Goldberg, who
recently received her ITEC Beauty Specialist Diploma (with
credits) had this to say to Atelier's President, Annette Hanson:
"It was because of my commitment to further my education with ITEC that I was offered an esthetician position at Great Jones
Spa, NY, winning out against 5 other candidates. You are placed
on a higher ladder when looking for a job. Not only does ITEC
raise your confidence and credibility in the field, but it
increases one's salary, also."
Thank you for working
with my crazy schedule these past 3½ months. By always making
yourself available for numerous questions, my transition back to
student life was fairly painless. With respect & much gratitude,

I am so happy to have
chosen Atelier Esthetique to help me fulfill my passion for skin
care. In the past, I didn’t have the opportunity to pursue this
interest of mine. I needed to keep my full-time job to make a
living. When I heard that Atelier offered weekend classes, I was
more than thrilled. I was able to keep my full-time job and
study on the weekend. Atelier’s flexible school schedule really
fit into my busy work schedule. Now I am the primary skin care
therapist at Clarins Skin Spa. I am so grateful to have studied
at Atelier. This school really prepared me well to help me gain
the knowledge and skill that I need to be given such a wonderful
opportunity at Clarins Skin Spa. So I thank you very much to the
staff at Atelier for helping me fulfill my passion. I highly
recommend this school to everyone who wants to study skin care.
Best wishes,

Hiring a graduate at
Atelier Esthetique ensures hiring an esthetician that has been
given the best tools to succeed in the industry. The
estheticians are highly skilled and are extremely knowledgeable.
Atelier Esthetique graduates provide the best to everyone they
touch.
Denise Schoenberger,
Former Spa Manager, Estee Lauder Spa, Bloomingdales, NYC
I decided to go to
Atelier Esthetique after calling many top spas in New York City
to inquire about skin care schools. It seemed as though most of
the spas recommended Atelier Esthetique and had nothing but
positive feedback about the school.
Daniel Koninsky, March

The reason I chose
this school was because a former student’s sister told me about
this place. When I came for information, I liked the atmosphere
and after doing some research, I realized this was the best
place for me because Atelier Esthetique is recognized in the
esthetics industry and the most important. They give you the
opportunity to work worldwide by offering the ITEC diploma.
Jennifer Olsen, March

I was looking for a school that met the specific high standard
level of education and respectful background for me to graduate
from. I believe this is the one for me. Thank you!
Jossy Martinez, March

I chose to attend
Atelier Esthetique because of the courses that it offers. Also,
because at my interview I felt assured that coming to this
school would not be a regret or waste of time. Another reason is
because the course length that I am now taking is perfect,
because it is not too long or too short.
Maria Kotaridis, March

I have heard that
Atelier Esthetique is the very best school in New York and now
that I have been here for the past two weeks, I have to say that
I really enjoy to have Ms. Rebecca who has a lot of knowledge
and Ms. B. make it a fun way to learn and she is really
practical. I’m not saying that it’s easy but it is enjoyable.
Maria Vogeli, March 4,
2008 Class
The reason I chose to
attend Atelier Esthetique Institute was because of the good
reputation it holds and also because of the affordable tuition
compared to a number of other esthetic schools. The
International Program was another important factor in my
decision as I plan on traveling out of the country to practice.
Natalie Nafornita,

I am an administrator
and a consultant, certified auditor, biller and codes for the
medical practice. I am also a President and CEO of a company
named Premier Medical Resources which is a recruiting company
for the medical professionals for all the medical facility
throughout the United States. We are adding the esthetics and
wellness into the medical practices. In order to know and to
supervise or to hire a good esthetician I needed to understand
the esthetician’s nature of the work. I think it was important
for me to become one.
Nayyar Mallick, March

When I came for my
interview with Ms. Hanson, she was very thorough about the
course and also very satisfied and proud of her school. She
informed me about ITEC, which is vital for my goal. Also I
really liked when she gave me a tour through the school and I
saw the practice room with students practicing.
Sandra Lakatos-Russell,

I started on March 4,
2008 at Atelier Esthetique. Before I made my decision to attend
I had to research on other schools. I wanted to see the school
and see how it is. I was concerned about how many students
attend per class. I did speak with other students here. I felt a
good energy here. I also did check out website and I compared. I
felt this school had a great review.
Vera Bijelic, March 4,
2008 Class
I chose this school
because when I visited their website. It gave me a lot of
information regarding programs and courses. Then when I came to
the school, it seems to be very organized and clean. Plus, I
like the fact that school is located on Park Avenue.
Alena De Ploti,
February 4, 2008 Class
I came to Atelier
Esthetique because the owner, Annette Hanson, helped write the
curriculum for the 600 Hour course in New York. When I called to
find out more information, Ms. Hanson got right on the phone and
was very helpful.
Beth Cohen, February

I moved from Texas to
attend Atelier Esthetique because I knew I would be getting the
best education from this institution. Ms. Hanson is accredited
nationwide and I knew she would provide the knowledge to excel
in my profession.
Bethany Lewright,
February 4, 2008 Class
I chose this school
because it offered small classes. It reminded me of a military
structure, so I related better. Facilities were clean and
sanitary. It was located near my apartment, centrally located."
My G.I. Bill covered part of my tuition and it was accepted by
the school. The website was very informative and answered a lot
of my questions. Friendly staff.
Ericka Steele,
February 4, 2008 Class
The website was very
informative, especially coming from a foreign country where I
could not get hands-on information. The various range of topics
offered and the ITEC diploma was encouraging, as I felt I would
be adequately prepared for this profession.
Esther Daniel,

I have been interested
in esthetics for a while and when I finally had time to look
into schools, Atelier Esthetique Institute of Esthetics jumped
out at me. Between all the pictures, student feedback and
well-informed website of all the courses offered, I realized
that I was really looking forward to visit and become part of
Atelier.
Kendra Alton, February

Over the course of the
entire year of 2007, I journeyed through an intense
investigation of all the available schools of education in
esthetics. I chose Atelier Esthetique because it is a school
that stands above all other, coast to coast, in its level of
education, quality of teaching, available continuing education
and the passion of its owner-operator, Ms. Hanson. The
conviction of the teachers along with the complete and
all-inclusiveness of the courses, there was no question in my
mind that Atelier Esthetique was the best place to gain a new
and passionate career.
