What Others Are Saying About
Atelier Esthetique Institute of Esthetics
I
have been meaning to write you and tell you how much I
enjoyed the laser course. Barbara and Leon were not only
extremely thorough and encouraging, they were there for each
student. They made me feel so at ease while learning the
various laser equipment, with their sense of humor and their
ability to keep us interested. They also brought us guest
speakers that helped us understand how lasers work from a
different perspective.
Sincerely,
Joyce Mayo, Graduate
"I
made a decision to attend Atelier after realizing that I
needed to make a living outside of my study of voice and
theater. Little did I know that I was about to enter the
doors to my future. I had always loved skin care and makeup,
but a future in the beauty industry was the last thing I was
expecting. I attended class every day and soaked in all that
I could. I learned so much and graduated with so much more.
I left Atelier with great friends, a great respect for my
instructors, and a knowledge of skin and skin care that
could not be matched. When I left Atelier I had a desire for
the medical end of skincare and sought and held positions
with plastic surgeons and dermatologists in both New York
and Miami. I am happy to say that I am the proud new owner
of a salon and skin care spa in Eastchester, NY and could
not have imagined that this would be the route my life would
take when I was in college studying to be an actress. I now
have the incredible opportunity to make a living doing my
new art, which is skin care and makeup and in turn, doing
what I love!!"

Dear Ms. Hanson,
Just a short note on the Brazilian Waxing Class I took on
June 30, 2009. It was a wonderful class and I learned so
much. I consider myself a beginner with waxing, but, I feel
confident that I can do a Brazilian Wax. The instructor, Ms.
Nivea Cruz, was informative and thoroughly covered
everything from safety, sanitation, wax, ingredients, etc. I
can go on and on about the class. It was GREAT. Thank you.
Looking forward to taking more advanced classes at your
school.
By the way thank you for
being so pleasant, and all your staff at the school.
Vera M. Sutherland
The Brazilian Waxing Class
was one of the best classes offered at Atelier Esthetique.
Ms. Nivea Cruz gave comprehensive and thorough instruction.
She gave us theory and history of the Brazilian Wax and its
modifications, concerns for the client, safety and
sanitation and most importantly the techniques needed to be
a successful waxing specialist. In addition, Ms. Nivea
demonstrated the proper application and removal of wax that
was easy to understand and follow. She had tremendous
patience for the students learning something completely new.
I would recommend Ms. Nivea Cruz and the Brazilian Waxing
Workshop to anyone looking to enhance their techniques and
become a waxing professional.

A phenomenal menu of services for a fraction of the price.
Personal attention in a world-class educational facility.
After ten years of coming to Atelier Esthetique Institute of
Esthetics, I still feel enthusiastic each time I return and
ecstatic when I see the results.

I’ve been coming to Atelier
Esthetique Institute of Esthetics for over 10 years and
would not dream of going anywhere else. As a former
esthetician, I am always looking for skin care products and
facials that meet high standards and quality. You will find
all of that at Atelier Esthetique. The estheticians are
soon-to-graduate students, whose techniques and manner rival
any high-end spa I’ve ever been to. And the skin care
products such as Simple Solutions and Plantogen are very
effective. I highly recommend Atelier Esthetique – and if
you purchase a “Series” of facials, you get one free! It’s a
great spa experience for 1/3 of the normal spa price.

Dear Annette:
I attended the waxing class
and had a great experience and I came out of the
class with more knowledge and confidence and great
techniques to advance my
career.
Education is the key to our success at Park West Hair Design
& Spa and we will
be sending our Skin Care Therapists to Atelier Esthetiques
for training.

A Thank You note to Annette
Hanson
I thought a gift of these little shea butter soaps in the
shape of "robins' eggs" were a good and rather appropriate
representation of the exciting career you've helped lay out
for me. Like many before me, I had my challenges and hurdles
to overcome with learning, however with your amazing
teachers and ever-patient staff, I am a better person today.
Thank you so much again!

Dear Ms. Hanson:
This Tuesday I received my first Atelier Esthetique
Institute treatments (glycolic facial and light). Having
anticipated a bright, noisy classroom environment, I was
pleasantly surprised to walk into a relaxing spa. Everyone
was incredibly professional and the space was clean and well
organized. Kizzy, my esthetician, was lovely and
knowledgeable, patiently answering my many questions
quickly, thoroughly and enthusiastically. She was also
gentle in administering my treatments. The instructor, Ms.
Seven, was also very professional and attentive, carefully
yet unobtrusively monitoring Kizzy's work. Moreover, she was
also extremely knowledgeable and clearly explained your
clinic's unique, FDA approved light treatment.
While it will take several visits to determine the efficacy
of the treatments, I just wanted to tell you what a
wonderful job your staff and students are doing. Kudos.
Thank you and all the best, Lisa
Lisa McMahon
I am very proud to say that I
have graduated from Atelier Esthetique and I thank Ms.
Hansen, the wonderful teachers and office personnel for
making my "back to school" experience wonderful. The
teachings of Miss Seven, Miss Tracey and Ms. B, have made me
ready and well equipped to start work as an Esthetician. I
am so happy I selected this institute.

"We look to Atelier Esthetique when hiring. They produce
well-trained top quality, professional estheticians."
Kate Weinberg from Nabi
Medspa
Ilene Goldberg, who recently
received her
ITEC Beauty Specialist Diploma (with credits) had this
to say to Atelier's President, Annette Hanson:
"It
was because of my commitment to further my education with
ITEC that I was offered an esthetician position at Great
Jones Spa, NY, winning out against 5 other candidates. You
are placed on a higher ladder when looking for a job. Not
only does ITEC raise your confidence and credibility in the
field, but it increases one's salary, also."
Thank you for working with my crazy schedule these past 3½
months. By always making yourself available for numerous
questions, my transition back to student life was fairly
painless. With respect & much gratitude,

I am so happy to have chosen
Atelier Esthetique to help me fulfill my passion for skin
care. In the past, I didn’t have the opportunity to pursue
this interest of mine. I needed to keep my full-time job to
make a living. When I heard that Atelier offered weekend
classes, I was more than thrilled. I was able to keep my
full-time job and study on the weekend. Atelier’s flexible
school schedule really fit into my busy work schedule. Now I
am the primary skin care therapist at Clarins Skin Spa. I am
so grateful to have studied at Atelier. This school really
prepared me well to help me gain the knowledge and skill
that I need to be given such a wonderful opportunity at
Clarins Skin Spa. So I thank you very much to the staff at
Atelier for helping me fulfill my passion. I highly
recommend this school to everyone who wants to study skin
care. Best wishes,
Elena Chang, July 2007 Class
Hiring a graduate at Atelier
Esthetique ensures hiring an esthetician that has been given
the best tools to succeed in the industry. The estheticians
are highly skilled and are extremely knowledgeable. Atelier
Esthetique graduates provide the best to everyone they
touch.
Denise Schoenberger, Former
Spa Manager, Estee Lauder Spa, Bloomingdales, NYC
I decided to go to Atelier
Esthetique after calling many top spas in New York City to
inquire about skin care schools. It seemed as though most of
the spas recommended Atelier Esthetique and had nothing but
positive feedback about the school.
Daniel Koninsky, March 4,
2008 Class
The reason I chose this school
was because a former student’s sister told me about this
place. When I came for information, I liked the atmosphere
and after doing some research, I realized this was the best
place for me because Atelier Esthetique is recognized in the
esthetics industry and the most important. They give you the
opportunity to work worldwide by offering the ITEC diploma.
Jennifer Olsen, March 4, 2008
Class
I was looking for a school that
met the specific high standard level of education and
respectful background for me to graduate from. I believe
this is the one for me. Thank you!
Jossy Martinez, March 4, 2008
Class
I chose to attend Atelier
Esthetique because of the courses that it offers. Also,
because at my interview I felt assured that coming to this
school would not be a regret or waste of time. Another
reason is because the course length that I am now taking is
perfect, because it is not too long or too short.
Maria Kotaridis, March 4,
2008 Class
I have heard that Atelier
Esthetique is the very best school in New York and now that
I have been here for the past two weeks, I have to say that
I really enjoy to have Ms. Rebecca who has a lot of
knowledge and Ms. B. make it a fun way to learn and she is
really practical. I’m not saying that it’s easy but it is
enjoyable.
Maria Vogeli, March 4, 2008
Class
The reason I chose to attend
Atelier Esthetique Institute was because of the good
reputation it holds and also because of the affordable
tuition compared to a number of other esthetic schools. The
International Program was another important factor in my
decision as I plan on traveling out of the country to
practice.
Natalie Nafornita, March 4,

I am an administrator and a
consultant, certified auditor, biller and codes for the
medical practice. I am also a President and CEO of a company
named Premier Medical Resources which is a recruiting
company for the medical professionals for all the medical
facility throughout the United States. We are adding the
esthetics and wellness into the medical practices. In order
to know and to supervise or to hire a good esthetician I
needed to understand the esthetician’s nature of the work. I
think it was important for me to become one.
Nayyar Mallick, March 4, 2008
Class
When I came for my interview
with Ms. Hanson, she was very thorough about the course and
also very satisfied and proud of her school. She informed me
about ITEC, which is vital for my goal. Also I really liked
when she gave me a tour through the school and I saw the
practice room with students practicing.
Sandra Lakatos-Russell, March
4, 2008 Class
I started on March 4, 2008 at
Atelier Esthetique. Before I made my decision to attend I
had to research on other schools. I wanted to see the school
and see how it is. I was concerned about how many students
attend per class. I did speak with other students here. I
felt a good energy here. I also did check out website and I
compared. I felt this school had a great review.
Vera Bijelic, March 4, 2008
Class
I chose this school because when
I visited their website. It gave me a lot of information
regarding programs and courses. Then when I came to the
school, it seems to be very organized and clean. Plus, I
like the fact that school is located on Park Avenue.
Alena De Ploti, February 4,
2008 Class
I came to Atelier Esthetique
because the owner, Annette Hanson, helped write the
curriculum for the 600 Hour course in New York. When I
called to find out more information, Ms. Hanson got right on
the phone and was very helpful.
Beth Cohen, February 4, 2008
Class
I moved from Texas to attend
Atelier Esthetique because I knew I would be getting the
best education from this institution. Ms. Hanson is
accredited nationwide and I knew she would provide the
knowledge to excel in my profession.
Bethany Lewright, February 4,
2008 Class
I chose this school because it
offered small classes. It reminded me of a military
structure, so I related better. Facilities were clean and
sanitary. It was located near my apartment, centrally
located." My G.I. Bill covered part of my tuition and it was
accepted by the school. The website was very informative and
answered a lot of my questions. Friendly staff.
Ericka Steele, February 4,
2008 Class
The website was very
informative, especially coming from a foreign country where
I could not get hands-on information. The various range of
topics offered and the ITEC diploma was encouraging, as I
felt I would be adequately prepared for this profession.
Esther Daniel, February 4,
2008 Class
I have been interested in
esthetics for a while and when I finally had time to look
into schools, Atelier Esthetique Institute of Esthetics
jumped out at me. Between all the pictures, student feedback
and well-informed website of all the courses offered, I
realized that I was really looking forward to visit and
become part of Atelier.
Kendra Alton, February 4,
2008 Class
Over the course of the entire
year of 2007, I journeyed through an intense investigation
of all the available schools of education in esthetics. I
chose Atelier Esthetique because it is a school that stands
above all other, coast to coast, in its level of education,
quality of teaching, available continuing education and the
passion of its owner-operator, Ms. Hanson. The conviction of
the teachers along with the complete and all-inclusiveness
of the courses, there was no question in my mind that
Atelier Esthetique was the best place to gain a new and
passionate career.
Kim Jackson, February 4, 2008

Dear Ms. Hanson,
Our October 1, 2007 class want to thank you for giving us
the opportunity to graduate from such a prestigious school.
Our experience at Atelier Esthetique will be one we will
never forget. Special thank you to Ms. B who is a wonderful
teacher. She is an exceptional teacher and played an
important role in our education. With her deep knowledge in
the medical field, Ms. B made us confident and gave us a
base to face future challenges. Thank you for all!!!
