Alumni Stories

“As a former student, the staff at Christine Valmy have been top-notch. They continue to assist with my testing for a license in New Jersey and keep me posted on job openings (they recently updated their website and it’s a wonderful addition). If your looking for a career in Cosmetology or Esthetician, look no further. The education you receive at Christine Valmy will increase your odds of job placement."

~ Catherine M.

The teachers are remarkable. One of my favorite parts of my education I valued was the way each teacher taught. Each one came from a different generation and provided a well-rounded approach to the beginning of skincare by Christine Valmy to those who spoke a more business-minded, current-day approach. Out of all of the schools in the area, if you attend Christine Valmy, you are guaranteed to pass state board, trust me.

Jonathan K.

There is no doubt in my mind that I picked the right school. I learned so many valuable things from all the teachers/staff and I honestly will never forget any of them. I passed my state written exam with flying colors before I graduated because I was well prepared from the start.
