How many days are your classes?
In general, they are 4 to 5 days. Private classes can be personalized. Sometimes we offer shortened introductory courses.
Do I get hands-on experience with real people?
Yes. We understand that getting started in permanent makeup can be a little scary. We have designed our classes to comfortably move you from theory, to fake skin practice, and finally to live model practice. Our goal is that by the end of the class, you will have a good understanding of the industry and be comfortable working on clients.
Can I organize an out-of-state group class?
Yes. We train outside of Florida. Organizing group classes can lower the cost per person. We've had out-of-state classes in Maine, Virginia, Georgia, Thailand, and Sweden.
How is your class different than the other permanent makeup courses?
We know it can be scary getting started in permanent makeup. That is why we emphasize lots of practice with live models under the guidance of an instructor. Also, we want you to build a portfolio of clients so you can advertise your services. You will get photos of your clients and experience in our class so you can show potential clients.
How many clients will I have in your class?
We try to get over 30 live models for our students. That's a great start to your portfolio and a good number to build enough confidence so you feel comfortable getting started.
What if I want more live model practice?
You will leave our class with enough skill and proficiency to feel confident to get started. We do offer advanced classes and internships so you can develop the more advanced skills.
Do I practice on paper first?
Yes. We need to build your skills and knowledge before working on live models. We will assign you an instructor so you can practice drawing on paper and 3D mannequins at home. Once you you have mastered those techniques at home then we bring you into the classroom. This helps you get the most out of your live model experiences.
Do I just jump in and start working on live models?
No. You will be paired with an instructor who will gradually bring you into doing work on live models. They will start off showing you how it is done then once you get a feel for it, they will gradually let you do the work. By the end of the class, will be doing all the work.
Where do you do your training?
Most of our training is done at our headquarters in Largo, FL. We also train at our second location in Torrington, CT and can arrange special training if you have a group that wants to get certified.
