Permanent Makeup Training
📣 Training in Permanent Makeup - TOO MANY OBSTACLES???
This is what I personally faced when teetering on the edge of the decision…
1. Young children
2. Self doubt
3. Little time and brain space
4. Not great with social media
5. Low income, no savings
6. Huge fear of failure
7. Don’t like pressure
And this is what I achieved by choosing to make it happen!
1. A full diary of PMU clients
2. Referrals through word of mouth
3. I developed an online profile that grew and evolved
4. Secured 15 different clinic locations to work from
5. Took on an Assistant
6. Cultivated a 6 figure business
7. Began mentoring and teaching
8. Received worldwide recognition
9. Sought out by celebrity clients
10. Had international students fly in for training
11. Won PMU Artist of the year
12. Judged and demonstrated in multiple national PMU Awards
13. Bought my house as a single mum
14. Raised my children and never missed a sports day / Xmas concert, did every school drop off and pick up.
15. Funded their lifestyle
16. And never looked back!
This really was my story, starting with all the reasons why I couldn’t do it, it wasn’t the right time in my life etc.
But what I put in, I got out 10 fold. I cannot begin to think what my life would have been like had I not chosen to take this path.
In over 20 years of permanent makeup and business experience, there is no pitfall I haven’t faced and found a solution to.
I can show you how it’s done, THE BEST WAY. There will be challenges and obstacles as with any venture, and this is why I chose to take this path of beginner training. Because I’ve walked this walk and know exactly how to have success 👌🏻. My students will gain that wealth of knowledge and guidance only achieved through experience 🫶🏻.
I do have availability this year, if you’re wanting more information / specific dates etc. or to just have a chat, get in touch and let’s make it happen for you 🫶🏻

Work Smarter NOT Harder
📣Are you putting the hours into your working life but not getting the “return” you really want?
THE KEY 🔐
1. Is to work SMARTER not HARDER… Yes you can up your hours to earn more money, but then would you have correct work life balance?
2. OR you can make changes and moves in a direction that will give you more financial return on the hours you’re putting in!
✨ I was in this exact same position when I made the life changing decision to take the leap and train as a Permanent Makeup Artist (20 years ago).
✨ I am a walking advert and evidence that making smarter choices WILL give you the financial return on your efforts. I manage my own work life balance, I have the same hours in the day as you, but I have created a successful career and business by first taking that leap.
✨ BUT you have to choose the right course and path…. Simply getting a qualification DOES NOT ensure you will achieve the return you’re seeking. You have to ensure that there is ongoing support and you are given ALL the tools you need to be able to deliver outstanding results!!
✨ This is why I teach…. because I have walked the walk…. I know what it takes to stand out from the crowd and achieve real success 🏆.

Lips
📣 Do your lips suffer with asymmetry even after having lip filler? 📣
✨ Fillers can create volume and projection throughout the lips, which is amazing as a stand alone treatment. BUT you can’t easily disguise the difference in lip tissue, its texture and colour. Filler can enhance the volume but where the lip tissue transitions, this can often leave the lips still looking unnatural if you don’t originally have symmetrical lips (lips that were already pretty great).
✨ A lip blush procedure can replace and disguise these weak areas of transitional skin, along the vermillion border, to give the illusion of better symmetry and definition. Couple this with some lip filler and this would be the perfect enhancement 👌🏻

Advice to New Artists 🙌🏻
📣 TOP TIPS for working under pressure 📣
✨ I get so many private messages from Permanent Makeup Artists, wracked with anxiety, particularly at the start of their career, here are a few essential tips to remember….
1. You know more about permanent makeup than your client…
2. They have chosen YOU to perform their treatment because they like YOUR style of work.
3. Communication is key, maintain a realistic outcome and explain why you have chosen the specific treatment plan.
4. Don’t oversell the results, if you over glamourise and give it the hard sell, more often than not the client will feel abit short changed. But DO remain positive about how good the results can be 🙌🏻
5. Get excited, your client will relax with your enthusiasm and you will notice they relax more when they feel YOU are in charge. They are in safe hands and you’re eager to show them how you an improve their look! 👌🏻

Gloss OR matte???? 💋
📣 QUESTION……. 📣
💋Which do you prefer, GLOSS or MATTE?
💋I love both to be fair, but the gloss gives that WOW factor!
💋I lined with Vertix 1rl .25
💋I filled with a Kwadron 5mag
💋A seamless application is essential, want to learn exactly how to replicate this? There are unique techniques I use and teach fully in my lip courses….. DM for more information 🌹
📣 N E V E R let anyone tell you, it’s not worth the investment in yourself! 📣 ✨ Now this goes for have any kind of treatment or procedure that enhances your look, saves you time, gives you something that you cannot produce by yourself. ✨ Let’s not forget, that it’s ultimately all about HOW YOU FEEL. And it’s an unarguable fact that when you invest in how you look YOU FEEL BETTER as well as look better. ✨ We can also take this concept of investment in oneself to that of investing in your future…… ✨ YOU CAN LEARN HOW TO CREATE THIS FOR OTHERS…… You can love what you do for a living, and make a very good living out of it….. job satisfaction to the max…. Steer your career the way YOU WANT 🏆💋🌹 TREATMENTS and TRAINING available 🏆
📣 Is TRUST your issue? 📣 I get it…. YOU SHOULD TRUST THE FOLLOWING… 1. TRUST the artist who is genuinely artistic. 2. TRUST the artist who consistently produces high quality results. 3. TRUST the artist who will guide you and not necessarily give you everything you think you need, BUT also listens to you. 4. TRUST the artist that has a significant portfolio and has been trained by a “top notch” training provider. 5. And of course TRUST the artist who has a clean and professional working environment. It’s not all about a fancy website and a huge social media following, these things can be manipulated. You are allowing someone to tattoo your face, so once you have established TRUST based upon the above, let the artist demonstrate their artistic flair 🙌🏻☺️…. IT IS ART 🙌🏻
📣 WHERE TO DO YOUR PMU BEGINNERS TRAINING 📣 ✨ 3 ESSENTIAL TIPS ✨ 1. “Enquire how long the specific trainer has been doing permanent makeup.” Because the Permanent Makeup industry is not officially regulated, there are no governing bodies that require specific qualifying criteria for you to become a trainer and set up an academy. So it stands that as long as you are qualified you can start teaching 😳…. I have waited 20 years and performed literally thousands of treatments, become international recognised before starting to teach PMU fundamentals. YOU CANNOT PUT A PRICE ON EXPERIENCE. 2. “Do you LOVE the individual trainers style of work?” You will be learning that specific trainers style and methods, you can’t see a permanent makeup course as “one size fits all”… so ask yourself, “is their work the type that you aspire to deliver yourself?? Take time to look at the artistry, it’s not just about the health and safety aspects of a course, it’s art….. 3. “Don’t be purely price driven.” Of course we all have to consider cost, I’m no stranger to budgeting. BUT, I say this from experience, more often than not if you choose a course based upon an attractive price, you need to ask why that course is the cheapest….. How many hands on practical days will you have? Is there pre study? How many students will attend one class? How much attention will I receive from the tutor? Any trainer has to factor in how much time they are going to be investing into you…. And what their time is worth. I could say so much more on this subject but if you would like to know more you can contact me direct to discuss ☺️ #pmutraining
