Christine Valmy International School
New York City
Christine Valmy Means Professional Skin Care
The Christine Valmy name is synonymous with professional skin care in the United States. As founder of the first US esthetics school in 1965, Miss. Valmy was recognized by the US Congress for starting this new branch of the beauty industry.
The Christine Valmy International Schools follow a rigorous, yet fun program, where students develop to their full potential and perfect their skills. Training goes far beyond typical book learning, with direct experience that expands horizons as skills are honed in the rigors of the State Board Exams. The well-known “Valmy Method” combines a scientific approach to facials, with the newest techniques and traditional European treatments. It is taught as part of the curriculum as students are made keenly aware of the connection between their fine work as beauty care providers and the trust they need to build with each client to develop a loyal customer base. Our certified international teaching staff prepares students to excel in careers, while meeting the demands of today’s salons and spas.
We offer licensing courses in Skin Care Esthetics, Makeup, and Manicuring & Nail Art, as well as a full complement of post-graduate seminars for the licensed professional to meet the ever-increasing challenge for new service trends in the industry and stay at the top of their field.
Over the years we have graduated more than 75,000 students who are the driving force of the beauty industry in the United States. We are proud of our students, many of whom:
- Manage major cosmetic companies
- Assist doctors and plastic surgeons in the medical field
- Are makeup artists in the entertainment industry
- Own cosmetics companies and salons of their own
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.
