With little to no-regulation on becoming a trainer, 2-day training courses are popping up everywhere. People realize they can make just as much or more money training as they can actually performing procedures, which is harder and much more intimidating. This is leading to so much inadequate training and disregard for real foundational knowledge required to perform this procedure. People are going out into the field confused and unprepared.
Finding the right training course is not going to be easy and it’s not going to be cheap. However, if this is something that you truly want to do and want to succeed in, it is crucial that you invest the proper time and money in finding an amazing training course.
When looking for the right program, ask these questions:
Ideally, a minimum of 5 years of full-time experience with a combination of permanent makeup and microblading is a good start. If the instructor doesn’t have that experience or is reluctant to tell you exactly how much experience they’ve had, consider taking a pass on their training course.
It’s also important to note that although years of experience is a factor, it’s more important to have a microblading artist who has performed at least 2 years’ worth of procedures-that is the only way a person has the experience to prepare you for the various roadblocks you will encounter by touching a lot of skin and going through many touch-ups on the same client, and seeing how the pigments age over time.

What is the class size? How many students to instructors?
A smaller course allows for not only more intimacy, but students can ask more questions and will receive a lot more one-on-one attention and supervision than they would in a larger class. A good ratio for the lecture and theory part of training is no more than five students to one instructor. While doing live models, the best is one-to-one supervision so the instructor is able to guide your every move.
