What Our Graduates Say
I chose Atelier Esthetique because of their rating online. A past employee of mine also attended Atelier Esthetique and graduated and is currently working at a spa. The education at this school is great. Once I complete this program I hope to further my skills in the skin care industry and land my dream job and eventually work for myself and open a business.
Studying esthetics almost 10 years ago was the best decision of my life! I had been practicing law for 12 years, but I was very unhappy. So, I kept my job and started the part-time evening program to pursue my passion for skin care. I am currently in my 8th year of business as the owner of a top laser center in Midtown Manhattan.
I chose Atelier Esthetique because of their close relationship with European Wax Centers. I also liked that there was a two-week intensive New York State waxing license program. Someone I know who took this class at Atelier Esthetique and recommended it to me.
I chose to attend Atelier Esthetique Institute of Esthetics after I saw all the great reviews and online ratings.
I chose Atelier Esthetique after doing a lot of research and based on the classes available. The advanced classes, once I get my license, are important to me. The teachers here are great and have a style that adds to my overall experience.
Before I came to Atelier Esthétique I was interested in becoming a makeup artist and my career was pretty OK. After I attended and graduated my cosmetic career became better, everything became better! I opened a business in 2006 that is very successful, and I have expanded into a second business delivering private in-home skincare and cosmetic services.
I just had to share this with you and the other students at Atelier Esthetique (and anyone considering Atelier Esthetique!). I have moved to Israel and opened a spa wellness center in Jerusalem. We are now being recognized as one of the most popular spa wellness centers in the city because of the quality of treatments and our customer service... And it all started at Atelier Esthetique.
