Microblading or Permanent Makeup Artists are well-known for providing their clients with the best looking eyebrows. When you are working as a microblading artist, the work that you do to enhance the beauty of others can be very rewarding.
In addition, Permanent Makeup is a great career if you want to make your own schedule, be your own boss, and achieve financial freedom. While keeping all these in mind, let’s take a look at the steps that you should follow to become a microblading artist.
Get the Blood Borne Pathogens Training Certificate
You will need to take a Blood Borne Pathogens Course BEFORE you can work on human beings. This means that if you are going to take an in-person microblading or permanent makeup training and work on a live model, you should get the Blood Borne Pathogens Certificate first.
It provides you with the opportunity to learn how to keep yourself and your clients protected from bloodborne pathogens when working as a microblading artist. There are some very affordable online courses at the American Red Cross and OSHA.
Take a Good In-Person Microblading Training
The next most important thing you should do is to find a qualified microblading training program, hopefully near you. There are numerous training programs available for people who wish to become microblading artists, in-person and online. For beginners, in-person training is a must to gain the necessary experiences.
Not all microblading training classes are created equally. Please make sure that you do your homework before signing up. Is the training program a legitimate one? How many students are there in the class? Are there any opportunities to work on a live model?
Expect to invest a few thousand dollars on a good microblading training program.
Practice a Lot
Before you start working on people’s faces as a microblading artist, you will need to practice on paper, mannequin and latex at least an hour a day, every day. Perfect your brow mapping skill, the hair flow pattern and the correct depth of your blade. Practice makes perfect.
Apply For Your License
When you are ready to work as a microblading artist and take clients, you will need to get your license. This would vary depending on the state that you are planning to practice as a microblading artist. To proceed with obtaining the license, you may check with your own state’s Health Department to find out the specific requirements. In most of the states in the US, a tattooist license is required to perform microblading and permanent makeup.
Find the Space
Last but not least, find the space to start your own journey. Some states do not allow you to practice as a microblading artist out of your own home. Again, check with your state’s Health Department for any requirements. Many new artists start out renting a room in a salon suite. It allows you to network with other stylists and build your clientele.
Final words
Now you know the general steps to become a professional microblading or permanent makeup artist. Make sure you have superior skills and customer services and the clients will come to you!
