What you learn at this school will stick with you for the rest of your life. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and as long as YOU PUT IN EFFORT, they will more than gladly assist you. Don't bother attending ANY school if you're not willing to put in any work, especially when you're PAYING to attend. It's not a place to come in and sit on your phone majority of the day. Go to class, do what is expected of you just as you would at work and you'll have a great experience. Christine Valmy is filled with extremely hard working educators and staff (whom are not paid well enough for all that they do to keep the school running the way that it does.) There are some issues such as the junior class not having a ceiling so the noise pours in from the back factory where products are made and assembled but Ms. Melissa does an excellent job pushing through those disruptions to deliver her class the knowledge they need to complete the first 300 hours of esthetics. Having a ceiling installed in the back junior class is something that the owners need to really work on. All in all, if you want an amazing education or even just a great service wether it be hair or skin, Christine Valmy is a great place to go. You'll meet great people and what you take away from the school can't be matched anywhere else.

That being said I know these things and the longer time for service is just more "me" time. This was my first visit to this specific location and I went in for a root touch up. DANIELLAAG was friendly and did a great job. Asking for help if needed and taking guidance when given. I felt comfortable in her chair. Added bonus is the valet service they provide. Very friendly and had my car waiting as I walked out which was top notch service in my opinion. I had a tip already out but now wish I would have tipped them more. Will definitely return when back in the area. Can't beat the prices for salon quality service!!

Overall I understand the students here are still learning, but based on my experience they had no…read moreidea what they were doing. They repeatedly told me they had not been trained in most things yet. I got a color and cut here. The color was not good, I got a simple black but they didn't dye the bottom of my head so the top is black and the bottom is dark brown. I asked them to put dye there and they said they didn't need to, which was incorrect. They also got some color on my ear which I had to wash off myself. Example of them not being trained enough: The stylist initially tried cutting 4 inches off my hair when I asked for a 1/2 inch trim. She also kept teasing my hair and then trying to comb it out, then making comments about how tangly it is. But teasing hair is what makes it tangled! When she tried brushing it out my hair broke due to the force. I literally had to tell her to stop or else I would leave. She hadn't even started cutting, but a lot of my hair was on the ground from it being broken off by her brushing. On a side note...their receptionist was also very difficult to work with. She said my handwriting was too small and made me write down my info 3 times. I am not sure what the issue is but she had a lot of difficulties reading even when I wrote in large caps. I had to call another receptionist over. The second receptionist apologized telling me the other receptionist lost her glasses and that's why she had trouble reading it. That's fine! But had the original receptionist said that, instead of blaming me for it, we could've handled it better.

When we finally got a teacher on the senior floor she played favorites and talked down to the ones she didn't like as if we were children. We are paying tuition. They should try harder to respect us as adults. If you're not comfortabke performing a service on a client they force you to do it or go home and lose your hours. That's unfair to the client and the student. Especially if their are students there that are capable and willing to perform the service. There is no one to talk to if you have a complaint. As a creative person I dont believe you should be stressed or forced to do something that can potentually hurt someone. And you should not have to leave or be toldyou are the problem.

She saw what was done and really couldn't do anything to fix it. The trim was incomplete and each side looks different. It will take 4-6 months for my hair to grow out so it can be corrected.

She did full head, which took around 3 hours, and did an amazing job. She was very helpful in picking out colors and pretty much doing exactly what I wanted. And she was great to talk to as well. I don't think I could have asked for more even if I was paying. However, this was free too! This was an absolutely fantastic experience for me! I hope they'll want to use me again in the future (another apprentice offered to cut my hair soon).

When I wanted to get a fresh new shorter cut I was surprised to see that there aren't any Toni and Guys in NYC -- but I found the Tigi Academy...and found CHRISTOPHER. I already trust the Toni and Guy/Tigi family -- because they are always on top of the latest trends. I did not do the model exchange -- I wanted to pay for an amazing haircut and have an amazing experience. That, I did. Not only is the Academy in a really cool and ritzy party of town - with a great view - But it was clean, modern and every single person there was friendly to me. I am always nervous about paying a good chunk of change for a haircut -- but wellll worth it! The first time around Christopher cut 9 inches off and he made me feel confident and he took control and I loved the result. It was cute right then, and was cute when it grew out. I've already gone back for a second cut. He's my man!
