Microblading Courses

Microblading Fundamentals takes your skills from the basics… to beyond!  This 3-day training is designed for artists who want more time for personalized coaching. With focused, one-on-one feedback, live model work, and deeper exploration of technique, you’ll refine your precision and artistic eye under expert guidance.

Microblading Fundamentals will focus on improving stroke flow and precision and gaining deeper artistic control through guided, hands-on work. You’ll receive more personalized feedback and advanced instruction to help you progress toward true artistry.

After 3 days of expert instruction, you’ll leave this training with clarity, confidence, and a true sense of direction needed for becoming a master of this craft.

*There is no prerequisite licensing or training required to attend this course or to receive your Microblading Fundamentals Certification. You do NOT have to be a licensed cosmetologist or esthetician to receive your Microblading certification.*

Once you obtain your Microblading Fundamentals Certificate through this course, you can then submit it to your county’s board of health to receive your tattoo license (which is required to perform microblading on clients).

Your training starts the moment you reserve your spot in class. With four weeks of required remote pre-coursework and exercises, led exclusively by our founder and instructor, Shannon Housley, you’ll begin learning the basics of stroke work and brow patterns at your own pace with new assignments each week.

Shannon reviews each weekly microblading training assignment and provides feedback designed to ensure you are practicing and growing as an artist… long before in-person learning commences. With these exercises and assignments, you’ll feel confident and ready for your first day in class.

In-person learning consists of 3 days chocked full of both classroom lectures and hands-on work— as well as your own live microblading model. We’ll cover essential topics, and Shannon is there to answer all your questions along the way.

Other brow training academies are packed with 10+ students. We believe that’s too many for individualized attention.  We guarantee a small class size of 6 students or less, so you’ll get the most out of your time with us.

You’ll have access to everything you need to hit the ground running:  business training, marketing, paperwork, policies, and of course, the fundamentals of microblading.

Your microblading training will conclude when you complete your live model with Shannon right next to you for guidance.

Post-class support is key for success. You’ll have access to an online Facebook community of other microblading and permanent makeup artists trained by Shannon so that you can ask questions as you begin your career as a microblading artist.
