[QUOTE who="Dani in Brooklyn, New York"]I'm about to start classes at Aveda in Soho...I really couldn't figure out why anyone would even go to Carsten-Aveda because it seems like a hair school that added on an esthi program. Even the website says so...so I wouldn't even think about their skin program.
I hear good reviews about Aveda in Soho. But it does seem like Christine Valmy and Atelier are better known and have longer-standing reputations. Although I spoke to an Atelier grad and she was disappointed in Ms. Hansen's frequent plastic surgery and attempts to hide it while working at the front desk . She said the education was good, but she didn't feel that it was a good representation of beauty .
I would have considered Atelier, but I was not interested in the medical side of esthetics. I may go for their laser program one day. I specifically chose Aveda in Soho because of the natural products. Every school uses one or a few specific lines so that really doesn't bother me. I just didn't want to use products that I personally wouldn't use on my own skin. I plan on either making my own products for personal use (I'm also a massage therapist), or using a natural line that's already out there.
However I did ask major spa HR rep which schools she recommended and her choices were Atelier, Christine Valmy, and Aveda. She said you can't go wrong with either one. But she did say NO to Lia Schorr and told me NOT to go there.[/QUOTE]
lol, Ms. Hanson's plastic surgery--check under her chin for the scar.
