Permanent makeup: an introduction to the profession

What could be more important than a proper introduction to the profession? It is primary education that makes it possible not to make so many mistakes and to obtain the correct basic knowledge.

The choice of a school/studio/specific master initially forms a conscious, meaningful attitude towards the upcoming mastery of new knowledge. If approached with little desire for learning, this can lead to a variety of mistakes, ranging from hand positioning, mastering pigmentation techniques, and ending with an understanding of responsibility for every millimeter drawn.
A novice master can follow his own path of trial and error, he can look for a teacher in an empirical way, etc. This, in our opinion, will only lead to the emergence of another specialist in the micropigmentation industry who has no idea about the aesthetics of permanent makeup in principle. At best, such a specialist will do mediocre work.
A conscious choice of basic courses will allow you to set a quick start and strong professional development. That is why experts call the choice of school the cornerstone in mastering a new profession, the foundation that determines the successful start of a potential specialist's career. Choosing the wrong school is a mistake. When choosing an educational institution, you should take into account a small number of important nuances, which will be discussed in this article.

Apparatus and accessories used by the school

The educational institution or the master with whom you are going to be trained must have the highest quality devices for performing permanent makeup .

First, you should look at the safety of the devices and the quality of their work.

Secondly, check that the body of the handle of the device is made of metal, since it is this material that prevents the growth of microorganisms on the device, various disinfectants can be applied to the metal without any disturbance, and it will serve you for many years.

Thirdly, before you start training, try to practice on several devices, because the result of the work largely depends on how the device is suitable and convenient for you.

Also important factors when choosing a school are components for working on permanent makeup:

• needles must be made of durable metal without unnecessary impurities. If the school works with safe and acupuncture needles, then the result of your training and further work will be the most effective;
• pigments that are used in this school must be certified. That is why it is worth paying attention to the quality and requirements for pigments in the educational institution that you have chosen for yourself.

Teachers and course program

Teachers are an important factor that affects the prestige of the school. Before starting the training, do not forget to ask the teachers about their experience and experience in permanent makeup. Also check the documents confirming the skill of specialists.
Teaching methods also play a significant role in choosing an educational institution. If in the teaching methodology the school is limited only by theory, then one should not dwell on this option. However, practice may vary. If during the entire training you are offered to train only on an artificial model, then it is worth looking for a school that provides live models for training.

Duration of the course and advanced training

The duration of the permanent makeup course should not be less than 5 theoretical and 10 practical lessons. It is also important to take into account that in practice the teacher must work individually with each student in order to improve his professional skills and point out existing shortcomings in the work.
It is important to remember that one completed course is not enough to become a real professional in applying permanent makeup, you should go through several stages of the training methodology. Therefore, when choosing a school, ask in advance about the possibility of further counseling and assistance in the upcoming field of activity.
