FAQ
Most frequent questions and answers
A: Microblading, Microshading, and Tattoo Removal all fall under the PMU category.
A: Currently we only offer classes in San Diego but if you have 3+ students interested in learning one of our training programs, we would be happy to make travel arrangements.
A: We covet color theory in our Beginner Microblading Course. We will teach you all about Tina Davies pigments, their undertone colors, who to use them on, how to mix them, etc. You will then make a color chart with the pigments in your kit so you can better see the undertones in the colors and it’s also a great tool to show your clients when picking out a color.
A: Ombre brows are typically referred to when talking about ‘machine shading’ options and different shading techniques. Ombre just means that the brows will be lighter toward the front of the brow (toward the nose) and then get darker as you move closer to the tip of the tail. This can also be achieved with Microshading.
Powder brows is another form of permanent makeup and is done with a machine shading technique. When we teach ‘Microshading’, the shading portion can be considered ‘powder brows’ as a machine is used to tap ink into the skin creating a powder appearance.
A: Absolutely! Being in the beauty industry means that you can run your own business and make your own hours. Who wouldn’t want that? Specifically the permanent makeup and permanent cosmetics industry can prove to be very lucrative. Permanent makeup has come a long way and it now gives women a natural look without daily effort. Women can wake up and have a shorter skin care routine and the perfect brow shape. Who wouldn’t want a more simple morning routine?

A: If you’re looking into getting into permanent eyebrows, you should start with microblading training. Our beginner course will give you the in-depth, step by step guidance and hands-on training you will need to start off on the right foot. You will learn color theory, brow mapping, stroke pattern, and you will get to work on a live model. You don’t need to be in cosmetology to take this course or any other permanent makeup courses.
Once you have completed that course, you will want to take Microshading and Tattoo Removal. In the Microshading training program you will be taught a shading technique that you will be able to pair with your Microblading skills. It’s best to know both Microblading and Microshading because the type of brows you give someone will depend on the client’s skin type. If a client’s skin is more oily, they will need Microshading. If a client has dry or normal skin and their brow hair is thin, they could be a good candidate for Microblading.
Tattoo Removal is also great to know because if you have these three skills, you won’t have to turn away any clients.
A: There is nothing you necessarily need to do prior to training. However, you will need to obtain your Body Art Permit prior to working on a live model. Every county is different but in San Diego, you must take a bloodborne pathogen course prior to applying for your permit. Those are typically $30-35 and take about 2 hours to complete. For a list of items you must turn in to apply for your permit, check out San Diego’s Health Department’s site here.
A: Microblading is a form of permanent makeup where a small blade is used to create thin hair-like strokes throughout a person’s brows, giving the illusion of a full, natural brow. Is it a semi-permanent procedure, with results lasting 1-3 years. Microblading is meant to be a natural enhancement, and to create the appearance of full, beautiful brows. It looks most natural on clients who have full brow hair, and are wanting to perfect their shape and add natural fullness. The finer hair you have, the more natural it will appear. This is not an ideal service for those with little natural hair, hair that is patchy, or coarse hair.
A Microshaded brow is a combination brow combining microblading strokes with machine shading. Like microblading, results typically last 1-3 years depending on your skin type. If you have naturally sparse brow hair or uneven brow growth, a combination brow is perfect for you! Soft shading blends out any unevenness in the growth and can give a more 3D result. It is also ideal for those looking for a more defined or filled in brow. We can add as much or as little shading to give a variety of different looks!

I think one of the biggest reasons new artists give up is because they let fear take hold!
Is that you? Did you take a course, work on a client or two, and then give up?
It’s important to practice your blading skills on fake skin as much as possible. Really build up that muscle memory. Practice your brow mapping on anyone that you can get your hands on!
Once you feel good, you should be working on clients. Try to book them fairly close together so you find your rhythm. Stay confident. Learn from each one. And always strive to do better. Positive thoughts and manifesting good things to happen will help you stay confident and forge ahead.

Juggling “entrepreneur life” and “mom life” can be hard and rewarding all at the same time!
I see you mamas!! Trying to juggle it all! When we’re at work, we want to be all in. We want to be able to listen to our clients, give them advice, befriend them, and heck, we just want to be present. But in the back of our minds, we are constantly running through the list of daily activities we have to do once we leave work. Then, when we’re at home, everytime our phone dings, we wonder if it could be a client. We feel the need to post on social media and be available to all of our clients or soon to be ones.
It’s stressful!!
I’m not always the best at being present in either of these situations but I recognize it and always try to do better. When I’m at home, I try to put my phone on the other side of the room. When I’m at the salon, my phone isn’t near me but I have my Apple watch on so just ‘in case’ there’s an emergency, I know right away.
Let’s stop trying to put so much stress on ourselves and recognize that although the world is full of pressure – pressure to respond, pressure to be the best, pressure to do it all – we can only handle so much. So when you’re at work, try to only do work ‘things’. And when you’re at home, if you have 2 hours with your kids before they go to bed, focus solely on them. I promise, being more present will not only help your mind and stress level but you’ll also be a better entrepreneur and a better and more patient mom!
Tell us one thing you are going to do to be more present either at home or at work.

We have had a good share of people come to us for “additional training”. As we get to know them and pull back the layers as to why they need more training, we learn that they sacrificed experience for cost and in turn, didn’t receive adequate training.
Just because you found a Microblading training that costs $1000-2000 and promises you ‘everything you’ll get in any other training’ and ‘you’ll make 6-figures ‘fast’’, steer clear!
Let me share with you a few things that get factored into OUR training price …
➡️ You receive two trainers. We never have a class of more than 6 students but we always have 2 trainers. We want to ensure that everyone gets 1:1 time and the attention they need and deserve to be successful.
➡️ You receive a full kit in any course you take with us. Our Microblading kit is valued at $500. It contains all of the same products that we use. We will also provide you a shopping list so you can easily purchase the same items when you run out.
➡️ After the last day of training, it’s not “good-bye”! We are here for you and your questions whenever they arise. Text us or email us and we are always more than happy to give you advice, feedback, or even a pep talk. When you’re done with training and working in the real world, questions will come up and we will be available to you.
➡️ You receive 3 months of online access to our Microblading course after completing our Microblading course. In that portal, you are able to watch/rewatch videos and follow along as we demonstrate everything you need to succeed in your Microblading career.
If you have any questions on what we offer or what you get in our courses, don’t hesitate to ask!! Drop your question below or shoot us a DM!

Hey Artists!! We’ve all been there! We think we can fix everyone’s brows! Interested clients come to us and we want to be the artist they see so we work around their schedule.
I have news for you: Know your worth!! You don’t need to take everyone that walks through your door. First and foremost, if you don’t think you can help them, don’t do it! Be honest to yourself and to them. They’re investing good money in having their brows done and if you don’t feel comfortable working on them, let that be known. Secondly, if you have set hours because you have another job or a family, then stick to your ‘hours’. Just because you own your own business doesn’t mean you need to accommodate everyone. You can have ‘business hours’ just like any other business operates.
If you don’t set ground rules for yourself and your business, you won’t be happy. So set boundaries from the beginning. This will help you be more successful and in turn, get more amazing clients through your doors.
Drop us a comment on what your #1 rule is in your business.
