Christine Valmy International School, New JerseyDid you know that the world’s foremost authority on skin care is headquartered in Pine Brook, New Jersey?  This is the center of operations for the Christine Valmy International Schools, which have over the years trained more than 50,000 of the nation’s top estheticians.  Christine Valmy and her daughter, Marina Valmy, pride themselves in offering the highest quality education available. Combining the tradition of European Esthetics with the latest advances in biology, chemistry, herbology and nutrition, they offer dynamic classes in skin care, cosmetology, makeup, nail artistry and spa treatments.  These courses immerse the student in a wealth of information, giving them all the tools and knowledge necessary for success in the multi-billion dollar beauty industry. 

Training at the school goes far beyond book learning.  Here, science combines with practical technique.  Students, selected from numerous applicants worldwide, are steeped in “hands-on” practice from their very first day of class.  The professionalism of these future estheticians, makeup artists and nail-care experts is finely honed through instructions in the power of touch and classes in hand manipulation to increase physical dexterity.  Throughout the curriculum, students are made keenly aware of the connection between themselves as beauty care providers and the trust that turns potential customers into regular clients. 

Students practice in a state-of-the-art environment, with modern equipment and the latest in beauty care techniques. By the time they complete the program, students are quite accustomed to handling customers and be fully prepared for the daily activity of a real world salon.  The school offers a wide range of services to the public, from facial treatments and hairdressing to makeup application and manicures, all at unbeatably low prices.  Performed by senior students under the supervision of a licensed instructor, these services are guaranteed to leave the client wanting to come back for more.

After graduation, the school continues to serve as an invaluable resource to its alumni, initially, with job placement and career counseling, and later on by helping them to keep abreast of the most recent trends and technology through ongoing post-graduate seminars. 

Proof of the school’s success?  It is reflected in the success of our graduates, who are in the highest demand by beauty companies around the world.
