Graduate Spotlight

Kaitlyn Deane- 2006 Graduate

I would highly recommend HVSA for anyone serious about a career in the exciting field of Aesthetics.

 Kaitlyn is successfully employed with Greenwich Dermatology for four years; she performs advanced procedures such as IPL hair removal, chemical peels, and microdermabrasion with confidence because of the comprehensive education she received at the Hudson Valley School of Advanced Aesthetics Skin Care.

Kaitlyn had always been interested in the field of skin and beauty and decided to commit herself to the challenge of becoming a New York State Licensed Aesthetician. Being from Lagrangeville, she wanted to stay close to home so she could work while in school.

Starting from the first day of classes Kaitlyn enjoyed the hands-on approach to learning. Instead of being stuck in a book, she was getting to learn and perform the procedures herself. And it wasn’t simply the basics to pass the state licensing. Kaitlyn was getting direct contact with many state of the art machines.

Kaitlyn found the program, thorough yet easy to follow. The low student to teacher ratio was always a plus, because it meant her voice was being heard. The instructors are real NYS Aestheticians who are down to earth and shared both their love of the profession and their real world experiences.
