In 1999 Maria Fuerguson opened up the school, Hudson Valley School Of Adanced Aesthetic Skin Care in Highland, NY. She later moved it to New Paltz, NY but still doesn't have a permanent location for that or her massage school. Her turnover rate is unheard of. Due to her drug & alcohol use, she smokes pot, she has short term memory problems. The students do not get the education the pay for and the employees are treated very badly. At one time she fired someone for being pregnant!

I was one of the employees fired last year after another incident. She re-hired the employee that was fired for being pregnant. I worked in the office so know all the details. She agreed to pay her $20 an hour and pay her medical benefits for the employee and her family. She did neither. The employee she hired refused to do anything illegal or outside the scope of an Aesthetic's license. This caused a lot of friction.

There was a student named Lucile who attended the school. At first glance you would have no idea that she was a student since Maria Fueguson had Lucile do things like unload her car and other manual labor even though Lucile was about 60 years old. She was able to carry 5 gallon bottles of water up 3 floors with little effort.

After her graduation Maria hired Lucile to work with her. She did all kinds of manual labor but was unable to learn things like taking money from clients at the front desk. She later started paying her retarded son to work there also. Many students were afraid of him and didn't realize he worked there. They complained about the "pervert" lurking around.

Maria also got Dr. Chevellia of Middletown, NY sued by burning someone with her IPL machine that she isn't properly trained to use. At that time he stopped any affiliation with the school but she continued to send copies of his medical license to various companies in order to obtain products that were only supposed to be available by a doctor. She is now doing even more invasive treatments, essentially practicing medicine without a license, even though the NYS department of regence clearly told her that she was not to have clients that were paying a different fee schedule worked on at the premises previously.

One night there were women undressing (they take their shirts off for facials) behind a curtain. They got very upset when they noticed Tommy, Lucile's adult son, peeping at them at the corner of the curtain. The students asked one of their instructors, Kim Chait-Lund to get him to stop. Kim then got him to leave the room. Lucile came back and told him to start again. One of the students then got Kim. The student and Lucile began agrueing. At that time Kim, the instructor, told the student to go back to what she was doing and she would handle it.

Lucile and Kim were arguing but all I could hear was Lucile swearing at Kim and yelling at her. I then saw Lucile slam Kim into the corner of a door. Kim then got loud and started screaming that if anyone touches her again she's hitting back. At that time, Tommy Picked up a duffel bag filled with tools and slammed it into Kim and told her that he was going to "kick her fxxxing xxx". I saw Kim call Maria immediately and tell her she needed to get there.

Maria arrived and they all went into her office upstairs. Kim later stated that she had been put on probation and no action had been taken against those that assaulted her. I wasn't in the office so don't know first hand what happened but Kim claims she was told if she was to press criminal charges she would be fired.

Kim came to work the next day but she wasn't feeling well. She has fibromyalgia to begin with but has always worked. We were doing body treatments which involved the room being very hot. Kim's knees buckled and she almost fell to the floor. We helped her into another room to lay down.

The next day Kim called the school and Maria Furguson and her sister Rosanea Tolesko told me not to give her the workman's comp information. I was then told she was being fired for " making trouble" Maria Fuerguson, the owner of the Hudson Valley School of Advanced Aesthetic Skin Care left Kim a message that she was fired.

Later Kim filed for workman's comp benefits. She stated she initially just wanted to document her bruises. All of the students willing to testify against Kim were given school hours if they were willing to testify against her. The employees including myself were told either we backed up the school or we would be fired. So we could either perjure ourselves or be jobless. The students that did tell the truth were harassed as a result of it.

Maria Fuerguson paid off everyone. Kim's lawyer forgot to call in the witnesses and forgot to submit the original medical reports that noted the extensive bruising that she had. I personally saw the bruising and the medical reports.

As a result of this incident many employees were fired. Lucile and her son were not included in the list. Students were ostersized. Kim was left disabled beyond the point of being able to work and has had to file for bankruptcy. Maria Furguson has done this type of thing to many people. Also, her sister Rosana Tolesko screams and swears at the employees and students and makes racial and anti-sametic jokes. She also walks around the school naked and makes raunchy references about sex.

The students that attend the Hudson Valley School of Advanced Aesthetic Skin Care do not get their 15 grand worth of education. In an effort to make money Maria Fuerguson has untrained students working on clients in addition to using equipment that has not been sterilized. This is unfair to the students and the unknowing clients.

Maria Fuerguson has fired or harassed until they quit over 100 employees in her time in business. She claims to have years of experience working with a plastic surgeon. In reality she has years of working a half a day every other week in an office. She has never even worked any where with an operating room and has no real medical training. Her entire curriculum has been stolen from a past instructor. She claims she wrote the material but doesn't even understand most of it.

She sells prescription skin products without a license and does treatments that legally need to have a doctor present to do. Prior to working at or attending the Hudson Valley School of Advanced Aesthetic Skin Care I would suggest talking to some of the graduates. Maria gives hours for things they've never even done just to get them out.

Thief, Liar, Stripper, Bankrupt - That Says It All

AUTHOR: Amazing - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Tuesday, August 11, 2009

#1. You're a thief who stole from your own family and from all of your delivery accounts.

#2. You're a liar. You lie about everything, even things that don't require you to lie.

#3. You're a cheap, easy, sleazy stripper. You've even told me about how you did "extras" for men at the club. And you were proud of it! Very classy.

#4. You claim to be some business whiz, but you're bankrupt. I don't see how that squares with reality.

I'm successful, prosperous and respected; three things you will never be. Don't take out your failures on me. You can't even keep your husband happy. Or did you not know about his side dish? I would think him moving out of your house and in with another woman would be a clue there, honey.

Just a fair warning to all readers - Don't get involved in any way with this person. Don't hire her, don't contract with her and keep her away from your valuables. She has sticky fingers. She's like a circling vulture looking for a phony lawsuit and she'll try to sue anyone for anything. But at least the local cops and courts now understand this and don't even entertain her anymore.

Facts Are Not Slander

Maria, where you are right you are right. Facts are not slander, they are also something you are not familiar with. I'm not the only name you listed. The allegations you made about the man you listed, well you mentioned you have more money then me, do you think you have more money then him? Since you've also slandered him do you think he can't afford to handle you? You think you're so tough, how do you think you'd hold up against an upstanding member of the community who has devoted his life to creating foundations to help others, non-profit (a term you're not familiar with) at that. I had the opportunity to spend some time with the man you mentioned. We were friends. I'm afraid the PI you've hired out of desperation has there facts confused.

I see that she has not denied stealing monies from her aunt. That's good. Honesty is the first step to recovery. She also doesn't deny being investigated by CPS. She does not deny stealing from deliveries. She does not deny being investigated and ordered to repay unentitled funds to Medicaid.

As I said, I refuse to dignify many of your outrageous comments with answers. I'm sure you've had your own issues with CPS. I wouldn't be surprised if you sent them here. I'm sure your PI has let you know that they found nothing wrong, by law they have to investigate any time they are called with a case of alleged abuse. I am a good mother. Unlike you I put my daughter before anything and anyone. I know somehow even after having your biological children you never developed a maternal instinct but my daughter is more important to me then any amount of money. I never pawned her off on strangers. Not that it's your business but I've only been out without her three times, other then when I was working, then she was with her father or my mother. I hate the fact that she even remembers you exist. I do not bring people in and out of her life. If I hadn't allowed you back into my life she would never know you exist. Unlike your children she's not used to me being friends with someone one minute and hating them the next. I didn't steal anything from anyone.

Her company was finally fired from Sears when they stole a lawn tractor that was placed in the delivery area by the manager as 'bait' to see who was stealing the many items that were missing. The theft was caught on camera. They were forced to return the stolen goods and her company was fired from the job. Due to a friendly relationship, the manager declined to file criminal charges. Several former employees verify this.

We were never fired from Sears so I am unsure of where you get your information. I will admit that I also had some disgruntled employees but not nearly as many as you.

Her company was fired from the bedding company when her husband went on a racist rant calling their employees 'f***ing n**gers'. This was after being discovered falsifying billing records for deliveries not made. One call to the service manager at the bedding company was all it took to get this information. He was very eager to tell about his experience with her company and how horrible it had been to deal with racists and thieves.

Try again. In fact, they over paid me by $10,000 and I brought it to their attention.

Her company was found to be in violation of several labor laws after being reported to the state labor board by an employee. She tried to appeal the ruling, but never bothered to send in any evidence and her case was dismissed and the violations were upheld. The business was run in an illegal manner and also very sloppily, as indicated by her failure even to provide documents to her own motion.

http://www.labor.state.ny.us/iba/decisions/pdf/PR07069.pdf

Maybe you should have your PI follow up on this. The man who filed the report is married to my husband's ex-girlfriend. I did what I needed to legally to get him to stop harassing us over money he was trying to get for time he was not entitled to.

As far as running a business and not paying taxes, the IRS has already been contacted about that. We'll see what happens when sales income (logged by the parent company) is discovered (do you REALLY think you can make electronic financial transactions and there won't be a record of it?). PayPal records will show her income from the clothing and from selling on E-Bay (love that PayPal button on your page, points investigators right to the account, thanks).


This income is required to be reported as taxable income to the IRS. This will likely be a deep, thorough audit, as someone making an income and declaring bankruptcy
without declaring that income has committed a fraud (surprise, surprise). Anyone reporting IRS fraud also gets a 10% cut of the unpaid taxes as a reward. I'll buy myself something nice.

I wouldn't plan your shopping trip yet. Thanks for the tip, 10% of what you've failed to report would make me a millionaire. Let me know how you make out. You already buy anything you want with the school's cards. All those credit card points from the school's bills, it adds up. Do you really think you're entitled to everything you take? Do you really think anyone will believe you make so little, having your kids on healthy NY for years, except your oldest, on Medicaid


Take it for what it's worth. And, by the way, if there is any sort of 'slander' lawsuit filed, be prepared for a massive countersuit based on discovery from this very website. I know you're the one posting. You know you're the one posting. Ask yourself if you really want to bring your slanderous remarks above into a courtroom. Discovery works both ways and I'm financially prepared to fight to the bitter end.

First and foremost, I am not the one who started this. There is something called IP addresses which are easy to track. That's something I pointed out to the last state trooper you sent to my home. What's next? Did I steal your dog too? There are a lot of us out here. If you only knew how many of your former employees get together. Do you really think you're financially prepared? How many more students can get back their tuition without it hitting you? How many lawyers can you pay to keep your family out of trouble? As I said, since it wasn't only my name, I think it could be best handled by a man who's signature is like printing money. All he has to do is sign footballs and their worth a lot of money. How dare you refer to him in that manner when unlike you he uses his money to help others, sorry "feeding the poor people on Thanksgiving" as you put it isn't enough to make up for your behavior.

You're willing to spend all your money in an effort to destroy me? How many disgruntled employees do you have? How many students have not gotten what they've paid for? It could take years just to hear all of the witnesses. You slander all of your former, sometimes current employees. Look at how you told the entire class about S. Was that professional? Or let's see, how you told me when Lucille was a student, aka your personal slave, how her husband beat her for years and that's why you can take advantage of her the way you did. Then you weren't even loyal to her.

As far as stripping, porn, etc. are concerned, ask anyone in her family about 'Alexis' and see what they say. It's the dirty little not-quite-so-secret family secret.

Please, I'm begging you to produce just one of these magazines or porno movies, with all you mentioned I'm sure you can find at least one if not more. I would be very interested to see them. You claim to be in touch with my family, so come on, show me what you've got.

Last, but not least, for someone who has cared for nothing BUT money for her entire pathetic life, you sure throw a lot of stones. I've got money and you don't. Nothing to get excited over. Get a job and earn an honest living like the rest of us instead of scamming everyone you've ever met and you might succeed (but it's doubtful).

Right now I don't work, I haven't since I got herniated disks while on the clock working for you. What do you consider success? Do you have close friends? Have you ever had an employee leave on good terms? You and your sister have a love/hate relationship, but I'm sure she won't be around long. Do you think your children will take care of you when your even older then you already are?

I think the craziest part is that you don't realize that by slamming me and saying I'm not good at the subject you taught me, that goes back to the same question, why would you ever hire me if I was so bad? You begged me to come back. You lied and said your sister fired me the first time without your knowledge. I have the letter you signed stating I was fired. I also have the one you sent to the state to get my teaching license that stated I was on an extended maternity leave.

Why don't you focus on living your life, after all who know how much time you have left. What do you want to be remembered for?

I think you need to let go. I'm tired of getting calls from people who have seen your latest post. I don't check it myself or I'd respond sooner. When you look in the mirror do you see a reflection? Just curious, wasn't sure if you have a soul. For what ever reason you choose to spend your time and money harassing me. Why don't you mention some of the names of these people eager to give you information, if it's true what difference does it make. Why are you working so hard to try to find something concrete? Is it because you can't find what you are looking for?

I really think you should discuss these things with your therapist, maybe someday you'll have inner peace.

I have enough things going on in my life. I'm tired of you bringing my name up. I'm done. If you would like to continue posting lies about me, go ahead. I have better things to do. We spend time reading, practicing letters, and even doing A & P coloring books. I am a mother. Once again I'm asking you to stop bringing up my name. I don't know who started this, I think they were trying to stand up for me in an off handed manner of some sort. You of all people know I am a very private person, I would never put my own name online. I don't know if someone's reading them and then doing some sort of copy cat post. I'm an adult and don't have time to play games.

Since you're so tough why don't you sign your next post?

AS I'VE ASKED IN THE PAST, IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH EITHER MARIA FURGUSON OR THE HUDSON VALLEY SCHOOL OF ADVANCED AESTHETIC SKIN CARE, or the massage school for that matter, please do not involve me.

I appreciate those who have tried to support me but please, if you are going to post something here or on the other two sites you've been posting on;

please do not do so on my behalf.

I am not saying you have no reason to complain, but please do so without bringing up my name. Please direct your issues to the NYS Dept of Regents, Health Dept, IRS, DEA, or what ever state or federal agency is appropriate but do so regarding your own issues.

IF MY NAME IS BROUGHT UP AGAIN I WILL CONSIDER THAT HARASSMENT AND WILL BE FORCED TO TAKE LEGAL ACTION. THIS SITE IS REGARDING BUSINESSES THAT HAVE SCREWED UP, NOT RUMORS WITH NO TRUTH BEHIND THEM ABOUT INDIVIDUALS.

PLEASE REMEMBER THAT ALTHOUGH THIS SITE DOES NOT REVEAL YOUR IDENTITY YOUR IP ADDRESS DOES, DO NOT PRETEND TO BE ME, FOR THAT MATTER, I'M SURE MARIA WOULD AGREE, DO NOT PRETEND TO BE HER BUT SHE CAN SPEAK FOR HER SELF.

Respond to this report!

You think you're so tough, how do you think you'd hold up against an upstanding member of the community who has devoted his life to creating foundations to help others, non-profit (a term you're not familiar with) at that. I had the opportunity to spend some time with the man you mentioned. We were friends. I'm afraid the PI you've hired out of desperation has there facts confused.

I see that she has not denied stealing monies from her aunt. That's good. Honesty is the first step to recovery. She also doesn't deny being investigated by CPS. She does not deny stealing from deliveries. She does not deny being investigated and ordered to repay unentitled funds to Medicaid.

As I said, I refuse to dignify many of your outrageous comments with answers. I'm sure you've had your own issues with CPS. I wouldn't be surprised if you sent them here. I'm sure your PI has let you know that they found nothing wrong, by law they have to investigate any time they are called with a case of alleged abuse. I am a good mother. Unlike you I put my daughter before anything and anyone. I know somehow even after having your biological children you never developed a maternal instinct but my daughter is more important to me then any amount of money. I never pawned her off on strangers. Not that it's your business but I've only been out without her three times, other then when I was working, then she was with her father or my mother. I hate the fact that she even remembers you exist. I do not bring people in and out of her life. If I hadn't allowed you back into my life she would never know you exist. Unlike your children she's not used to me being friends with someone one minute and hating them the next. I didn't steal anything from anyone.

Her company was finally fired from Sears when they stole a lawn tractor that was placed in the delivery area by the manager as 'bait' to see who was stealing the many items that were missing. The theft was caught on camera. They were forced to return the stolen goods and her company was fired from the job. Due to a friendly relationship, the manager declined to file criminal charges. Several former employees verify this.

We were never fired from Sears so I am unsure of where you get your information. I will admit that I also had some disgruntled employees but not nearly as many as you.

Her company was fired from the bedding company when her husband went on a racist rant calling their employees 'f***ing n**gers'. This was after being discovered falsifying billing records for deliveries not made. One call to the service manager at the bedding company was all it took to get this information. He was very eager to tell about his experience with her company and how horrible it had been to deal with racists and thieves.

Try again. In fact, they over paid me by $10,000 and I brought it to their attention.

Her company was found to be in violation of several labor laws after being reported to the state labor board by an employee. She tried to appeal the ruling, but never bothered to send in any evidence and her case was dismissed and the violations were upheld. The business was run in an illegal manner and also very sloppily, as indicated by her failure even to provide documents to her own motion.

http://www.labor.state.ny.us/iba/decisions/pdf/PR07069.pdf

Maybe you should have your PI follow up on this. The man who filed the report is married to my husband's ex-girlfriend. I did what I needed to legally to get him to stop harassing us over money he was trying to get for time he was not entitled to.

As far as running a business and not paying taxes, the IRS has already been contacted about that. We'll see what happens when sales income (logged by the parent company) is discovered (do you REALLY think you can make electronic financial transactions and there won't be a record of it?). PayPal records will show her income from the clothing and from selling on E-Bay (love that PayPal button on your page, points investigators right to the account, thanks).


This income is required to be reported as taxable income to the IRS. This will likely be a deep, thorough audit, as someone making an income and declaring bankruptcy
without declaring that income has committed a fraud (surprise, surprise). Anyone reporting IRS fraud also gets a 10% cut of the unpaid taxes as a reward. I'll buy myself something nice.

I wouldn't plan your shopping trip yet. Thanks for the tip, 10% of what you've failed to report would make me a millionaire. Let me know how you make out. You already buy anything you want with the school's cards. All those credit card points from the school's bills, it adds up. Do you really think you're entitled to everything you take? Do you really think anyone will believe you make so little, having your kids on healthy NY for years, except your oldest, on Medicaid


Take it for what it's worth. And, by the way, if there is any sort of 'slander' lawsuit filed, be prepared for a massive countersuit based on discovery from this very website. I know you're the one posting. You know you're the one posting. Ask yourself if you really want to bring your slanderous remarks above into a courtroom. Discovery works both ways and I'm financially prepared to fight to the bitter end.

First and foremost, I am not the one who started this. There is something called IP addresses which are easy to track. That's something I pointed out to the last state trooper you sent to my home. What's next? Did I steal your dog too? There are a lot of us out here. If you only knew how many of your former employees get together. Do you really think you're financially prepared? How many more students can get back their tuition without it hitting you? How many lawyers can you pay to keep your family out of trouble? As I said, since it wasn't only my name, I think it could be best handled by a man who's signature is like printing money. All he has to do is sign footballs and their worth a lot of money. How dare you refer to him in that manner when unlike you he uses his money to help others, sorry "feeding the poor people on Thanksgiving" as you put it isn't enough to make up for your behavior.

You're willing to spend all your money in an effort to destroy me? How many disgruntled employees do you have? How many students have not gotten what they've paid for? It could take years just to hear all of the witnesses. You slander all of your former, sometimes current employees. Look at how you told the entire class about S. Was that professional? Or let's see, how you told me when Lucille was a student, aka your personal slave, how her husband beat her for years and that's why you can take advantage of her the way you did. Then you weren't even loyal to her.

As far as stripping, porn, etc. are concerned, ask anyone in her family about 'Alexis' and see what they say. It's the dirty little not-quite-so-secret family secret.

Please, I'm begging you to produce just one of these magazines or porno movies, with all you mentioned I'm sure you can find at least one if not more. I would be very interested to see them. You claim to be in touch with my family, so come on, show me what you've got.

Last, but not least, for someone who has cared for nothing BUT money for her entire pathetic life, you sure throw a lot of stones. I've got money and you don't. Nothing to get excited over. Get a job and earn an honest living like the rest of us instead of scamming everyone you've ever met and you might succeed (but it's doubtful).

Right now I don't work, I haven't since I got herniated disks while on the clock working for you. What do you consider success? Do you have close friends? Have you ever had an employee leave on good terms? You and your sister have a love/hate relationship, but I'm sure she won't be around long. Do you think your children will take care of you when your even older then you already are?

I think the craziest part is that you don't realize that by slamming me and saying I'm not good at the subject you taught me, that goes back to the same question, why would you ever hire me if I was so bad? You begged me to come back. You lied and said your sister fired me the first time without your knowledge. I have the letter you signed stating I was fired. I also have the one you sent to the state to get my teaching license that stated I was on an extended maternity leave.

Why don't you focus on living your life, after all who know how much time you have left. What do you want to be remembered for?

I think you need to let go. I'm tired of getting calls from people who have seen your latest post. I don't check it myself or I'd respond sooner. When you look in the mirror do you see a reflection? Just curious, wasn't sure if you have a soul. For what ever reason you choose to spend your time and money harassing me. Why don't you mention some of the names of these people eager to give you information, if it's true what difference does it make. Why are you working so hard to try to find something concrete? Is it because you can't find what you are looking for?

I really think you should discuss these things with your therapist, maybe someday you'll have inner peace.

I have enough things going on in my life. I'm tired of you bringing my name up. I'm done. If you would like to continue posting lies about me, go ahead. I have better things to do. We spend time reading, practicing letters, and even doing A & P coloring books. I am a mother. Once again I'm asking you to stop bringing up my name. I don't know who started this, I think they were trying to stand up for me in an off handed manner of some sort. You of all people know I am a very private person, I would never put my own name online. I don't know if someone's reading them and then doing some sort of copy cat post. I'm an adult and don't have time to play games.

Since you're so tough why don't you sign your next post?

AS I'VE ASKED IN THE PAST, IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH EITHER MARIA FURGUSON OR THE HUDSON VALLEY SCHOOL OF ADVANCED AESTHETIC SKIN CARE, or the massage school for that matter, please do not involve me.

I appreciate those who have tried to support me but please, if you are going to post something here or on the other two sites you've been posting on;

please do not do so on my behalf.

I am not saying you have no reason to complain, but please do so without bringing up my name. Please direct your issues to the NYS Dept of Regents, Health Dept, IRS, DEA, or what ever state or federal agency is appropriate but do so regarding your own issues.

IF MY NAME IS BROUGHT UP AGAIN I WILL CONSIDER THAT HARASSMENT AND WILL BE FORCED TO TAKE LEGAL ACTION. THIS SITE IS REGARDING BUSINESSES THAT HAVE SCREWED UP, NOT RUMORS WITH NO TRUTH BEHIND THEM ABOUT INDIVIDUALS.

PLEASE REMEMBER THAT ALTHOUGH THIS SITE DOES NOT REVEAL YOUR IDENTITY YOUR IP ADDRESS DOES, DO NOT PRETEND TO BE ME, FOR THAT MATTER, I'M SURE MARIA WOULD AGREE, DO NOT PRETEND TO BE HER BUT SHE CAN SPEAK FOR HER SELF.

I see that she has not denied stealing monies from her aunt. That's good. Honesty is the first step to recovery. She also doesn't deny being investigated by CPS. She does not deny stealing from deliveries. She does not deny being investigated and ordered to repay unentitled funds to Medicaid.

As far as running a business and not paying taxes, the IRS has already been contacted about that. We'll see what happens when sales income (logged by the parent company) is discovered (do you REALLY think you can make electronic financial transactions and there won't be a record of it?). PayPal records will show her income from the clothing and from selling on E-Bay (love that PayPal button on your page, points investigators right to the account, thanks).

This income is required to be reported as taxable income to the IRS. This will likely be a deep, thorough audit, as someone making an income and declaring bankruptcy without declaring that income has committed a fraud (surprise, surprise). Anyone reporting IRS fraud also gets a 10% cut of the unpaid taxes as a reward. I'll buy myself something nice.

#11 UPDATE Employee

Stop slandering me, I don't appreciate my name being brought up over and over

AUTHOR: Do Not Continue To Slander Me - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Sunday, May 31, 2009

First and foremost I have a life and do not have the time to put listings up pretending to be anyone other then myself. I am very happy that other employees as well as students have taken the time post their experiences, which I'd like to add I was not there for.

I did not put my name online pretending to be someone else. I do not know who your information source is but the things you've stated about me are lies. I don't know who posted the other comments but it wasn't me.

I have in my possession a letter signed by Maria to NYS stating I was on an extended maternity leave, who's the liar?

Please provide me with some of the many pictures and movies I'm supposed to have been in. I'd be interested in seeing them. Since you say I've been in so many magazines and even movies then I am sure you'll have no problem providing just a few.

I am not a stripper nor have I been in magazine and movies. If I had chosen that path I am pretty sure I would have made more money then working as an Aesthetician. I know you pretend that there's so much money to be made but even when the economy was good only a fraction of your students made anything. Please let me know exactly where I worked and how long I worked there? Was this before or after I worked at the school? If I was hired out of "pity" then why did my work only become substandard once your raunchy sister would come back? Why would you hire a stripper or for that matter hire someone out of pity? If that is who I am then please tell me why you would want a person as you described me at any time representing the school in any position?

Why would any student pay your over inflated prices in order to have someone as incompetent as you've described me to teach them? It seems like a waste of money to pay to have one bad teacher after another.

I don't know what has happened that as admitted by other former employees has led you to start slandering me again but please note that I will not tolerate it. Not that it's your business but I bought three beds from Dormia, bought, I have the receipts. I didn't steal anything. Your just pissed that I wouldn't steal for you either when you needed a new washer. He provided you with a service and in return you gave him nothing. It wasn't his fault the alternate washer your then boyfriend had didn't work either.

Now I am so powerful as to destroy Rockaway Bedding? Wow, that's impressive that I am powerful enough to take down an established well run business but you claim I'm trying to destroy the school but have been unsuccessful.

You've even spoken to my father about this, wow. Other then at my wedding I was unaware that Maria and my father have been talking. Yes, Maria did sit in the front row at my wedding. We did socialize outside of the school but I got married and she got divorced; again.

If you'd like to tell fairy tales please continue to tell me more about my family. Just keep in mind that they can easily go after you on their own.

Thank you for the endorsement for my online store. I am sure you will be happy to know I have not been well enough to do anything with it. I think you should call the IRS. I have an online store that I haven't used, you use the school's money as your personal piggy bank. You forgot how close we were and how much I know. Maybe now that you've brought it to the attention of so many people I'll be lucky and get enough sales that I can have someone else do it.

I do not feel it is appropriate for me to discuss my financial issues in a public forum of any type. Although I am sure you will be disappointed to hear this, my husband takes care of us. I will probably never have as much money as you do, but I'm ok with that. I have something you never will, I am a wife and mother. I don't want to pawn my daughter off on who ever will take her that day. She has two parents that love and care for her. She has stability.

I cannot even dignify many of the malicious and slanderous comments with a response. I have no idea how your description of my life got so twisted around but I would have to guess it has something to do with Rosana.

Unlike Maria I have never been anyone' s second choice. Just curious, when you had the cameras and complained you didn' t to sit home and look at naked women all day did any of the clients know they were undressing in front of a camera? Did anyone know that you employed a grown man who was raised in an abusive home by your own statement that was to be spoken to through his "life coach" as you so eloquently put it. Then there was the registered sex offender you hired in Highland. You keep bringing up various sexual innuendos, is that due to your own fascination?

You are playing with fire. Not only are you publicizing my name but now you're listing others. I would not want to be the one making public statements about people who are famous and much more powerful then yourself. Untrue statements at that. Not only are you slandering me but also those mentioned. Do you think IP addresses cannot be traced back to you? If I was someone's "crack w***e" then what exactly are you accusing the other well respected party of?

I have no interest in trying to destroy Maria or the school. Although I do find it somewhat amusing that Maria/Rosana keep bringing up my name, are you afraid I put a spell on you? Better put salt at all of the doors, you've accused someone else of practicing witch craft, there is so much bad energy going towards them I'd prefer to stay away so that none of it deflects and hits me. Do you really think I hate you that much. I don't hate you at all. I feel bad for you.

Maria/Rosana do an excellent job destroying the reputation of the school. They have done all they can to make sure the students get less and less each year. You cannot promise someone who is disabled in any way that you will accommodate her disabilities and then tell the teachers to let her do what ever she wants and hope she doesn't hurt anyone because it is too much trouble for you to teach her differently. So what if a client in injured here and there, you still get paid. I felt so bad for Carlos. Your students burned and scarred him, before I was even there. Then you agreed to meet with him and didn't have the decency to show up.

This is where you and I never saw eye to eye. You always wanted it to be staff against students. Why should anyone be against anyone else? Shouldn't the goal be to provide an environment where students learn? Why should you go on vacations for their labor. They pay to go to school. Then you make a fortune when you over book them on clinic by working them like slaves. You keep cracking your whip. They are only "students" who cares how they feel, isn't that right?

You can say what you want to about me but I was there for my students. They shut me out. I don't blame them, I was there 7th or 8th teacher, you didn't want to waste your time on them. I answered their questions in and out of school. There are still students from when I was there in 2002 that stay in touch with me. There were subjects I am not qualified to teach nor are you. The only difference is I admit it.

Things must be really bad for you to keep pulling me into it. If only I were a fly on the wall, then again maybe I already have one. You can only get away with what you're doing for so long. Your children hate you for what you've done, or should I say haven't done for them. It will catch up to you eventually as you're not getting any younger. Rosanna's already had one piece of her after another cut off since she won't stop drinking, by your own admission. How long do you think you'll stay in remission with so much negative energy? At least they won't have to embalm you since you have very few real parts. Do you think your children will take care of you, like you did your mother? I hope so. I really hope so and you know exactly what I mean by that. What have you got to show for your life other then money?

Again, I am stating that I do not want my name mentioned again. I am being harassed by you via the internet. Do not continue to slander me. To the employee who mentioned the questionable accounting, please don't take it personally. She screwed me out of money also. She actually agreed to pay me $20 an hour and then right before I was to receive my first paycheck told me it was only going to be $18 an hour, after I had put in the hours at the agreed amount. I am sure you know how to contact me, please do. I've been in touch with several ex-employee's. I really would prefer to be left alone but since that doesn't seem to be happening we should compare notes. There have been enough labor department, OSHA, health code, ect. violations that the fines would easilly cost her much more then her profit margin.


Next time you put my name out there, have the balls to put your name with it. If you are sure of your accusations then you have no reason to hide. I want to end this by once again making clear that I am speaking in defense of myself. I would encourage anyone else who you've pissed off, can you count that high? to make their statements in a formal manner. Please do not email or call on my behalf. I do not want to be held accountable for anyone who's life you've destroyed getting pushed over the edge. I am tired of you calling the state troopers every time someone harasses you and blaming me. In time the troopers will grow tired of your attempt to manipulate them.

I really do hope you get everything you deserve in life, absolutely everything

Above Poster "ThinkAboutIt" Is Kim Chait-Lund, Again

AUTHOR: Thewholetruth - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Thursday, May 21, 2009

For anyone who hasn't yet processed what's going on here, the above poster, Kim Chait-Lund, has posted every single negative item about Hudson Valley Aesthetics. She tries to post in the third person, but slips up quite a bit and reveals herself.

Let's be truthful here, Kim. You were fired because you were a lousy employee. You were hired back out of pity. You were still just as lousy of an employee and were fired again. That's the truth.

Now let's discuss some other items Kim wants desperately to avoid.

1. Kim was a stripper for many years working strip clubs in and around the NYC metro area

2. Kim went by the stage name "Alexis"

3. Kim also did "extras" for her clients for money

4. Kim appeared in several hard-core adult pornography magazines including Cheri and Leggs where she was photographed performing sexual acts as well as appearing in some XXX movie scenes

5. Kim lost her business due to her incessant stealing from delivery clients like Dormia (the bed she sleeps on was stolen right off the truck) and Sears (where she was caught red-handed stealing off the trucks and keeping or selling the appliances). Her own father believes Rockaway Bedding went under due to Kim's mishandling of their deliveries and has told Kim this

6. Kim currently runs an internet business ("Cheapkidzclothes.com") for which she has filed no DBA or incorporated and for which she does not report the income to the IRS while claiming to be bankrupt (look out for the upcoming IRS investigation, Kim)

7. Kim has a horrible prescription medication problem which causes her to "pop Xanex like candy" and eat handfuls of painkillers, enough to "drop a horse" according to those who know her well

8. Kim was caught falsely claiming Medicaid benefits and in order to avoid prosecution is now on a repayment plan to pay back the thousands of dollars she received under false pretenses to obtain prescription pills to support her habit

9. After being caught by Medicaid Kim was reported to CPS because anybody receiving that much medication is "either a drug addict or a dealer" and either one is dangerous to a child

10. Kim stole $45,000 from her aunt after asking for the money as a loan which she later refused to pay and told her aunt "it's my word versus your word". Kim's theft of this money left her aunt in poverty, as this was her remaining life savings

11. Kim was LT's "crackwhore" as all his friends called her after she met him while stripping and she brags about "doing almost the entire Giants defense" (now that's something to be proud of, Kim)

Look, the main point here is that Kim is a thief and a liar. Why is she posing as so many people just to try to ruin HVA? She worked there twice and was fired twice for poor performance. Now she just needs to move on and try to take care of the real problems in her life which consist primarily of herself and her habits.

Kim, get a life and stop trying to sell yourself (no pun intended) as some sort of professional who has been wronged. You're a hack. You've always been a loser and always will be. You've made adult films and magazines, sold your flesh and lied, cheated and stole your way through your horrible life all while jacked up on cocaine, marijuana and prescription pills. Now you see how karma is and that your life has come full circle. Your chickens have come home to roost. Clean up your own mess of a life and stop focusing on "revenge" on everyone else for your own misdeeds.

#7 UPDATE Employee

why would a stripper be hired? Maria's had how many boyfriends? swingers?

AUTHOR: Think About It - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Wednesday, May 20, 2009

#1 why did Maria hire a stripper? Doesn't maria's own sex life get questioned?

#2 Why was Kim re-hired?

#3 Why were so many employees fired and then bad mouthed?

#4 Weren't Maria & Kim friends? They used to have lunch and went to each other's homes prior to employment of any kind. I'm pretty sure I saw Maria in the front row of Kim's wedding. She also seemed to know Kim's family pretty well.

#5 Why would anyone advertise they lost their business?

#6 Why would anyone publicize their bankruptcy?

#7 Wasn't Rockaway Bedding the biggest client for White Glove Service? Did Rockaway go under?

#8 How would Kim have so much information about things that happened after she was gone?

#9 I've done a criminal check & have not found anything indicating any arrest for fraud or otherwise.

#10 COME UP BIG SHOT, SAY YOUR NAME, STOP HIDING

#11 Didn't Kim provide Maria with the information about who her second ex husband was cheating on her with?

#12 Shouldn't Maria worry more about her son pulling out all his hair due to his unstable home life? Or her oldest adopted son who was in prison? Or the daughter that just gets ignored and wants nothing more then to be loved?

#13 Maybe it's time for Maria to find a new therapist since it's obvious she has personality disorders

#14 How many losers did Maria screw, move into her home, and then let them run the schools?

#15 poor, misunderstood Maria, too bad Michael through out all of the poems she spent her time writing

#16 Didn't Maria ask Kim to go on a trip to Arizonia with her and offer to pay for her and her family?

#17 Do you really think Kim would put her own first and last name all over the internet when she has a child?

#18 Is Kim the only disgruntled employee ever?
The only people who stay around Maria are those who want something from her or are legally bound to do so. How cold do you have to be to "pull the plug" rather then lose your inheritance?

Kim Chait-Lund Is a Con Artist

AUTHOR: Thewholetruth - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Friday, April 24, 2009

I find it hilarious to see that all of these alleged "employees" and "students" are all the same person - Kim Chait-Lund. It seems her intention is to destroy this business after unsuccessfully trying to have its principals arrested (lost in court after multiple perjuries) and trying to sue for damages (no lawyer would take the phony case).

Kim has a long history of fraud and her now bankrupt delivery company lost two major contracts due to her stealing from the deliveries (big screen tv's, washers, dryers, refigerators and more). She is an ex-stripper and, some say, "prostitute" who has a crushing prescription pill problem for which she was recently found to be defrauding Medicaid to support. What a sad woman and a sad life.

Whatever is or is not true about the school, nothing Kim Chait-Lund says should be given a shred of credibility. She's a thief and a liar to say the least.

Another One of the Many Former Employees

AUTHOR: Prior Employee - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Wednesday, April 22, 2009

I am prior employee of this school. I resigned in November 07 so I was not there for the incident mentioned above. I WISH I had seen this rip off report so I could have avoided the AWFUL experience I had there.

WARNING TO POTENTIAL STUDENTS AND EMPLOYEES:
Avoid this school and the sister school Hudson Valley School of Massage Therapy!! Students, do not waste your money! Employees, do not risk getting your name dragged through the mud and your paycheck shortchanged.

I think the owner Maria Ferguson and her sister Rosanna Tudisco are unfit to run a business and may be mentally ill and/or may have major substance abuse issues.

Here's as sample of what I witnessed in my few short months there:

Unhappy, Confused Students
Maria, Rosanna and one of the teachers (who was fired) would talk about students as if they were criminals or annoyances. Students did not know their hours because the school was not keeping correct records. As part of graduation, students are required to review the school, the reviews were scathing. Also, students were not provided with account statements in a timely manner.

Questionable Accounting
There were four different bookkeepers/accountants at the school during the few months I was there. The last person was fired by phone message without a reason given and her subsequent phone calls to close out issues where not answered. Rosanna ran her mouth endlessly when each person was fired and dragged their name through the mud. It is a red flag for me when an institution terminates employees that handle the books in such a rash manner.

Questionable Payroll Methods
A different employee was in charge of processing payroll almost every pay period with limited to no training. Timecards frequently did not work properly. An hour lunch was subtracted for employees even when lunch was not taken (I believe it should only be one half hour)

Libel and Slander
When employees resign or are fired, the owner and her sister create fictional exaggerated stories about why the employee left the school and tell them to anyone who will listen. When I left, they told people I was into witchcraft and that is why I was gone (one of the sisters must have pulled that out of their a*s bc I am Christian).

Unprofessionalism
This was the most unprofessional uncomfortable place that I have ever worked at. An owner of an institution should not be discussing prior employee conduct or issues with current employees with any subordinates. Students should be treated with respect. There should not be a woman (drunk?) like Rosanna shouting her opinions on interracial relationships, other religions, employees bodies etc on school premises.

Major Employee Turnover
I think I was there for three months and in addition to the revolving door for accounting, there were 5+ receptionists and a couple of teachers who were fired or quit. I spoke with another employee after I left and she told me that another teacher had been fired, Maria accused a struggling single mother of stealing (the girl was an angel) and that she fired the mentally handicap cleaning lady.

My suggestion is to STAY AWAY!

On a positive note, I felt the students, a few of the teachers and my coworkers very professional and nice to deal with.

Actual student's opinion......you cant fire me!

AUTHOR: Student - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Thursday, March 06, 2008

I was a night student in 2007 at the Hudson Valley School of Advanced Aesthetic Skin Care and was in the room where Fredericke' was instructing. I don't know Kim personally just of her. I witnessed Lucile's son peeping around the curtain at the women who were undressing when I went into the room to get a blanket. A few minutes later, Kim, the Clinic Supervisor came in to the room and asked him to leave and he at first said no because his mom told him to do work in there. That he went back into the room and after that you saw Kim put everything back into his duffle bag and put it back into the hallway.

About ten minutes later Lucile and her son went back into the room. Marissa went to get Kim and Lucile and Marissa started arguing. Kim told Marissa to go back to the client and she'd handle it. At that time Lucile started swearing at Kim and told her to get out of the room. You could not hear what Kim was saying because she was speaking too quietly. The next thing you saw was Lucile pushed Kim with two hands into the corner of the door frame and Kim bounced off of it. Lucile then walked out of the room. Her son followed her and on his way out picked up the bag of tools and hit the left side of Kim with it and said that "I'm going to kick your F*cking *ss You F*cking b***h, I'll kill you when you leave here". At the time Kim didn't fall to the ground but was pushed several feet.

After that Stephanie and Kim were arguing about something and then Kim went into the office. This started at about 7pm. Maria Furguson, the owner of the Hudson Valley School of Advanced Aesthetic Skin Care, showed up at about 9:30 pm and were still in the office when you left at 10PM.

The next night while doing body treatments Kim almost passed out. Kim brought in her aromatherapy oils from home because the school did not supply them. Stephanie and the other new teacher helped her into another room. She took her lab jacket off when she was laying down and her shirt separated from her pants at the bottom and there were visible bruises everywhere I could see. I asked Kim if I could see the rest of her back and she let me. She was covered in bruises. I told her she should press charges but she said she would be fired and couldn't afford to feed her baby if that happened.

The next night when I came in Kim was not there. Maria Furguson, the owner of The Hudson Valley School of Advanced Aesthetic Skin Care and her sister Rosana were there. We were told that Kim had been fired because she is psychotic and doesn't know what she is doing. We were all asked to sign statements saying bad things about Kim. I said that I hadn't worked with her much, only the one night but was told by Maria and Rosanna to just write something. That night a state trooper came in but we were all told not to speak to him. After he left we were told that there would be a court hearing against Lucile. We were told the school had a restraining order against Kim and that she would be arrested if she contacted the school.

The night of court we were told if we wanted to receive credit hours for going to school then we would have to lie and testify against Kim. I was afraid to say I saw anything. The students who did come forward were accused Kim of prostituting herself with the plastic surgeon who was the current medical director of the school and would get them free plastic surgery in exchange for their testimony. Maria said she knew Kim for many years and that she in incompetent, has severe psychiatric problems, is violent, that her and her husband had threated Maria and Kim's husband was stalking them in the parking lot.

We were told that no hours would be given to anyone telling the truth. We were also told that Kim is a thief and Maria had her arrested for stealing her credit card. Rosanna referred to Kim as someone who likes black c*ck & made several anti-sametic comments that I found offensive. She said she knows the type that Kim is, always slacking off. I never saw Kim even stop to eat when the students were on break she worked with the other students who needed extra help. All of us asked Maria why she hired Kim if she was as incompetent as she stated. Maria claimed she was desperate as she didn't want to have to bother teaching us herself.

After that she started firing everyone. I overheard some of the arguments. I heard the receptionist say that she wasn't lieing for anyone. The school administrator was fired. I also heard her say that Lucile's son couldn't be there any more since he has had violent outbursts prior to this one. Lucille said if her son couldn't be there then she wouldn't either. Lucille was also difficult to deal with. She would embarrass some of us while we were practicing. I was having a Brazilian done and she walked in after opening the curtain wide, she then started instructing the student working on me to have me get on my hands and knees bent over. I said I wasn't comfortable with that as I was already naked. Lucile said it didn't matter to do it her way.

The other receptionist, Jessica I think was her name, who was not even an aesthetician started teaching us for a while because Maria didn't want to come in at night. Maria made her oldest son, a convicted felon, the night receptionist for some time. He was booking appointments for personal things such as Brazilians with anus. I'm sorry but it's not fair to embarrass women like that.

Maria then fired some other teacher who's name I never had time to learn. Then Stephanie left and Maria said that she didn't know what she was doing anyway and if she had taught Stephanie herself she would have known more. She said that Stephanie was also stealing from her and that several expensive items were missing.

You know what? Enough is Enough!! I paid fifteen thousand dollars with interest it will be more like fifty thousand dollars and there's no one to teach us. Maria is always stoned out of her mind. I know people who get high and know what pot smells like. Rosanna isn't there much anymore but when she was she always smelled of alcohol and had white powder under her nose. She used to yell at us and swear at us in front of people which was humiliating

THE ONLY REASON YOU DON'T HAVE 100 POSTINGS UP HERE IS THAT EVERYONE IS SCARED OF BEING BLACK BALLED OR SHE WON'T LET US GRADUATE LIKE SHE DID TO ONE STUDENT. THE SCHOOL IS A JOKE AND DANGEROUS.

Maybe Maria Furguson, owner of Hudson Valley School of Advanced Aesthetic Skin Care should go back to school herself. She did a demo of a bikini wax on her sister, not a pretty picture. She kept re-dipping the stick and saying "whoops, you didn't see that". She doesn't have enough sets of tips for the microderm machines so they're not sterilized between clients. The clients are booked back to back and none of us know what we're doing. We learn by following the instruction sheet and hoping for the best. She works us like slaves.

Nothing ever changes

AUTHOR: Caryn - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Friday, February 29, 2008

Since day one the school was run in a fly by night manner. Teachers have been forced to teach a subject whether they were qualified or not. Students have had the same issues since day one, there was no one to teach them but the other students. I don't understand the comments that were left as they were left directly attacking the former employee who had already been abused enough.

It is unclear to me why the letter was not written by Maria instead of "someone defending her". Please, I don't know why anyone would make this kind of thing up.

I think the fact that the pass/rates and that the department of education has done audits at the request of students which has resulted in tuition being returned is proof enough. Everyone knows what happened to Kim. In the quest to protect herself the school's owner even fired her administrator and everyone else like myself who refused to lie and say that what happened to Kim didn't happen.

How many teachers has the 2007 night class gone through?

Would you say that 7 or 8 is an accurate number?

Does that seem like an average turnover rate?

If there is an employee altercation that became violent then why wasn't everyone fired? Why not file a police report? I guess that would be bad press.

A roomful of people witnessed Kim's assault. Even the other night teacher, Stephanie, who quit after being pushed into having to go to court and possibly purjuring herself is gone. What was the need to get rid of all the witnesses?

Maria has been seeing her therapist every Monday night for the past seven or more years but it hasn't helped. She still doesn't have the ability to make decisions without her sister who Maria has claimed to hate. She claims her sister is a drain on her and when she told her that she has to move out of her home freaked out and stopped talking to her. She said that Rosanna goes out with the teachers and drinks too much wine, especially being diabetic. She has advised her sister to switch to hard liquor to avoid the sugar but she hasn't listened despite losing several toes.

I'd like to know why Kim is always the scape goat?

If she was such a bad employee than why was she re-hired?

What about the student who's name I won't mention because you've already terrorized her enough. The one you refused to let graduate because she testified for Kim in court. You suddenly realized that there was a mathematical mistake on your end and her tuition hadn't been paid in full. It's bad enough you're blaming Kim for writing about the fact that the students don't get what they pay for.

Why would Kim be the one who is psychotic? Is Maria able to speak for herself of is she just Rosanna's puppet?

I made a mistake by putting Kim's name online because it just gave you something else to try to accuse her of. You already sent a detective to her to see if she stole your credit card to go from one McDondalds to another. When she worked she never even stopped and ate.

I'd like to see the students voice there opinion of the education they received at the school.

Well, I guess since the pass/fail rates are public that speaks for itself. That is unless of course you plan on blaming one employee for all of the students that failed.

Hudson Valley School of Advanced Aesthetics and Skin Care tell Kim, next time she should read her file before submitting.

AUTHOR: Formariaaslegaldefense@gmail.com - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Friday, February 29, 2008

First of all, shame on rip off report for submitting this report. Hey, Kim did you not notice that you signed your report on top? You proceed to tell us how you have been wronged as an employee. "I was one of the employees fired last year after another incident."

The then in the upcoming paragraphs you then to tell this story of abuse " One night there were women undressing (they take their shirts off for facials) behind a curtain. They got very upset when they noticed Tommy, Lucile's adult son, peeping at them at the corner of the curtain. The students asked one of their instructors, Kim Chait-Lund to get him to stop. Kim then got him to leave the room. Lucile came back and told him to start again. One of the students then got Kim. The student and Lucile began agrueing. At that time Kim, the instructor, told the student to go back to what she was doing and she would handle it."

Not only did you admit you are a bad employee but I think it is quite funny how your story switches from referring to yourself in the first person to the third person in the paragraghs about the abuse you have occured.

Another example of this untruthful report is this quote you state "Later Kim filed for workman's comp benefits. She stated she initially just wanted to document her bruises. All of the students willing to testify against Kim were given school hours if they were willing to testify against her. The employees including myself were told either we backed up the school or we would be fired." Why do you need to back up the school with the claim being inaccurate if you are the injured person?

Oh wait people it gets better Kim's lawyer I guess was Maria's best friend. do I have that line right Kim, am I correct? Do you get my drift Kim this line makes you look like a psycho with nothing better to do than to harrass this company. "Kim's lawyer forgot to call in the witnesses and forgot to submit the original medical reports that noted the extensive bruising that she had. I personally saw the bruising and the medical reports"

If I were you I would request your money back from the Lawyer because maybe you need to file a report with this website about the lawyer to? Because your lawyer must also be a rip off with their forgetfulness...... but I do not see that link attched to this file. Just curious if your lawyer thinks you are insane because any individual in their right mind reading your article can see you are the author of this hilarious psyhcotic review!

Kim, you ended your article with the perfect quote " Maria gives hours for things they've never even done just to get them out." I guess Maria gave you this great idea of a story to show how smart Hudson Valley School of Advanced Aesthetics and Skin Care was as a company to let you go after this incident because you even stated yourself that you were a problem employee in your first paragraph.
