Esthetics: Learn in NYC and Get a License in NJ or CT

Your Address Doesn’t Have to Define Your Career
You don’t have to live in New York City to become a New York esthetician. If you live in New Jersey or Connecticut, your beauty career can still start in Manhattan. At Atelier Esthetique Institute of Esthetics, you can train in the heart of NYC and prepare for a career in one of the most exciting beauty markets in the world, all while continuing to live in NJ or CT.
Your commute could change your life.
NJ → NYC
CT → NYC
You → Future Esthetician
Commute to Opportunity
Every day, thousands of people commute into New York City for opportunity. Why should your esthetics education be any different? If you’re passionate about skincare, beauty, and helping people feel confident in their skin, becoming an esthetician could be your next move.
Atelier Esthetique’s 600-Hour Esthetics Program gives you the opportunity to train in Manhattan while living in New Jersey or Connecticut — connecting your education to the energy, trends, products, and opportunities of the NYC beauty industry. And getting here may be easier than you think.
Atelier is conveniently located with easy access via NJ Transit, PATH, and bus routes. Our NYC campus is just a five-minute walk from both Penn Station and the 23rd St PATH station, making it convenient for students commuting into the city from NJ or CT.

Train in NYC. Build a Career That Goes Beyond
Choosing to attend esthetics school in New York doesn’t mean your future career has to stay within New York City.
Atelier’s 600-Hour Esthetics Program prepares students to pursue New York State esthetics licensure. For residents of NJ or CT, completing your education and becoming licensed in NYC may also provide a pathway to pursue licensure in your home state, subject to each state’s current licensing requirements. That can mean greater flexibility as you build your career — whether your future takes you to a Manhattan spa, a skincare practice closer to home, or eventually a business of your own.
Why Atelier Esthetique?
For more than 40 years, Atelier Esthetique has been dedicated to esthetics education in New York City. Our students learn through a combination of classroom education and hands-on training, working with professional skincare products and gaining experience in treatments, ingredients, client care, and the business of esthetics. It’s an education designed not simply to help you complete the hours required for licensure, but to help prepare you to enter the industry with confidence.
And you don’t need a Manhattan address to get started.
Your Future May Be One Commute Away
Live in New Jersey. Live in Connecticut. Train in Manhattan.
If you’ve been thinking about turning your interest in skincare and beauty into a career, your address doesn’t have to stand in the way. Your commute already connects you to New York City. Maybe it’s time it connected you to your future, too.

Licensing requirements vary by state and are subject to change. Completion of Atelier Esthetique’s program and New York State licensure do not automatically grant licensure in another state. Students seeking licensure outside New York should confirm current requirements with the appropriate state licensing agency.
