IMG 0152

If you are considering adding microblading to your list of skills, you are making the right decision! Microblading is a leading beauty trend and is not going anywhere anytime soon. More and more people are searching for the perfect brow that they no longer have to pencil in. So, you are right on time to hit the ground running and start an incredible business in microblading!

If you are looking for microblading classes in the Encinitas area and are wondering what to look for, we can help! Taking training courses from a reputable and highly experienced artist can add so much value to your training experience. If you are wondering what sets a good training program apart from the rest, here are a few things that may help during your search:

1.       Does the training course allow you to work with live models? This is huge! Imagine going through an online course and completing your microblading training without ever touching real skin or practicing on real brows? I mean…I can’t imagine that you would be prepared for that first client, can you? So, it is very important to make sure the training course you choose provides you with live models to practice on.

2.       How long is the microblading training course and is it in person or virtual? The type of training you choose is very important for a few reasons. First of all, yes some courses are super quick and this may seem appealing to you. But, keep in mind, you will be putting semi-permanent tattoos on people’s faces so you will need all the hours of training you can possibly get. So, even though a shorter training may seem appealing it may not be your best option. Also, what style of learner are you? We understand that most courses are virtual as people continue to social distance, but you may consider choosing a course where part of it is in person if that is the best way you will soak in the information.

3.       What does the course cover? When you are looking for microblading classes near you, it is important to look at the agenda and make sure the course covers all the bases. There are fundamental things you will need to know, but you will also want to choose a course that goes above and beyond and teaches you more than just the basics. You want classes that will really prep you for a solid career in microblading right away.

Frequently Asked Questions

What you need to know before microblading.

1

Microblading is a semi-permanent tattoo, used for the purpose of reconstructing sparse eyebrows or simply to enhance already full brows. The proper ink is chosen and mixed to fit your exact skin tone to look the most natural and realistic. We then create small, hair-like strokes to perfectly mimic natural and gorgeous eyebrows.

2

Healed microblading results last anywhere from 1-2 years, depending on your skin type. If you have oily skin, results usually fade a little faster than those with dryer skin types. Touch-ups are required to maintain the microbladed look. First touch-up is included.

Microbladed brows typically take 6 weeks to fully heal. Within the first week the pigment will appear much darker, and your eyebrows will look very bold. Do not worry! This is part of the healing process and it means that you are healing properly. After the first week the eyebrows will begin to get lighter, as by now the scabbing should be taking place. This is also normal! Around week 2, most of the scabbing should be done, and you will begin to see your full and natural eyebrow shape come through. Let it heal naturally, and only begin to wash your eyebrows with a mild foamy anti-bacterial soap after 14 days.

There should be absolutely NO picking at your eyebrows for the first 10 days. The first 10 days are the most crucial for having healthy healed eyebrows. Let the epithelial crust and natural scabbing occur on its own. After the first two weeks, you are allowed to begin washing them again. Try to keep the area as dry as possible in the first 10 days. Do not swim in fresh, salt, or chlorinated pool water for at least 2-4 weeks following your procedure. Limit sun exposure for 14 days following the procedure. For the first two weeks, avoid:Water, cleansers, creams, makeup, heavy sweating in the brow area, tanning and heavy sun exposure, Facials, facial fillers, chemical treatments and microdermabrasion.
