Came to Christine Valmy for a facial. It started with a brief consultation where we decided which facial would be best for me given current condition of my skin. I opted out for a hydrating one. Left completely relaxed, with my skin glowing and my facial muscles no longer tense. Would definitely come back for another one soon!

I attended Christine Valmy in 2009 and I received a certificate in Basic Makeup Artistry. The instructor was very knowledgeable.

PART TWO: - Financial Aid: Financial aid is only available for esthetician students although their tuition is way higher, I don’t see how that matters. - In-school Inventory: There are no extra materials for us students to use when we’re in class, they have us working on computer desks that have a huge hole in the middle. My teacher would sometimes lend us her own materials and me and my classmates would also spend our own money (aside from the tuition paid) for our clinicals & such. - Mailing My Diploma: After all of that money and time spent on school, they sent out a link for us students to schedule a pick up for our diplomas. Once again no weekends available because student services is not there on the weekends. I was told we can request for it to be sent via mail. And they sent me an invoice for $25. So after all the money spent and everything I have to pay for my diploma to be sent to me? Also I sent my initial request for it to be mailed on aug 28. No response for 4 days. I responded again the same day and no response until 5 days later. - Online Vs. In Person: My first teacher for the first two months of online first told us to not email her any assignments & made us join a google classroom in which I thought the assignments would be posted but she didn’t post any of the clinicals or homework assignments or anything except for exams. When I asked her to do so she blatantly said no because she refuses to “remind” us students of our responsibilities. We would be aware of our assignments by word of mouth. And whenever we did our homework or assignments we would have no way of knowing she received it, or graded it. Just blindly turning in assignments hoping she was receiving them. Also when we continued in person after 2 months of online, we completely stopped going over the textbook & only focused on the physical aspect of doing nails. No review of what we’ve learned or anything. - Exam Scheduling: This was the cherry on top. The school does not help you in the final steps of getting your license. They send you a link with a youtube video explaining how to do it but they don’t help you make you NYS licensing account, they don’t help you schedule your exams, they don’t do anything!! Which is crazy considering that in most high schools they help you schedule your SAT’s and they have a fee waiver as well for the application. - This school very much and very obviously caters exceptionally to the estheticians course, and sadly leaves the nail course in the dust. Good luck to whoever attends this nail course! When you attend this school just be aware that the price you pay is simply for the name of Christine Valmy. May Christina Valmy take this review as a chance to improve.

Editor's Description
International Certification
Based on the work of the "First Lady of Esthetics" Christine Valmy, this school strives to deliver a high-quality experience across the spectrum of beauty education, skincare treatment methods, and all-natural products for personal and professional care.
The school's 600-hour esthetics program is split into four modules—theory, practical, makeup, and clinical—to give students an in-depth understanding of how the skin works and responds to formulas and treatment methods. Students are then taught how to apply that knowledge, perform treatments and select appropriate solutions to address skin issues. Learners also become proficient in both the fundamentals and specialties of makeup application.
Courses in waxing, nail specialty, makeup, and international certification are also available. "I very much enjoyed my evening classes," says alumna Ashley. "The instructors share their real-world experience and prepared me to make sure I would pass the state board."
