Our Story

As a nationally recognized platform artist with over 30 years of experience in the cosmetology field, including New York Fashion Week and serving as a mentor with the American Association of Cosmetology board, Chris Venesky noticed a shift in the way beauty professionals were being educated and trained.

He observed that many schools were focusing heavily on theory and basic techniques, often at the expense of real-world, practical skills. This approach left graduates ill-prepared for the dynamic and fast-paced nature of the beauty industry.



Students were not being taught the critical business and marketing skills necessary for success in a highly competitive market. There was a lack of emphasis on developing strong client relationships and soft skills, which are essential for building a loyal clientele.


Moreover, he noticed a gap in training for advanced and specialized techniques, which are increasingly in demand. Many schools were not keeping pace with the latest trends and technologies, leaving graduates behind the curve in an industry that constantly evolves.


VSKI Cosmetology School was founded with a vision to offer a more holistic and comprehensive approach to cosmetology education. We blend foundational skills with cutting-edge techniques, business acumen, and a deep understanding of client relations, ensuring that graduates are not just skilled technicians, but well-rounded beauty professionals ready to excel in today’s market.
