💜 Thank you Gill for a lovely review 💜

If the pain aspect is what puts you off having your brows done, let me reassure you that they really dont need to be painful! 

Hand on heart, id say at least 70% of my brow clients fall asleep during the treatment. I work super light in the skin in a gentle layering technique. No bleeding or any of those horror stories here thank you 🙌🏻 

Do your research ... always!

Thinking of starting a training academy?

1️⃣Have a Plan: Think about what you need to plan to fulfil your dream academy!

2️⃣Know your Audience: If you don’t know your audience well enough you will promote to everyone and get no one

3️⃣Decide where to teach: Will you go to salons and do in-salon training, rent hotels all over the country and offer nationwide training?

4️⃣Who will you teach: Start by teaching beginner courses or would you like to get some teaching experience & confidence with some masterclasses for those in the industry who are already qualified?

5️⃣What should I teach: We would pick the top 3 treatments that you are most passionate about and start there. The best thing is to create your own signature course. 

6️⃣Do your research: There are so many accreditation companies out there, each with their own pros & cons but which one fits your business model only you will know

7️⃣Take your time: Work out what your niche will be, your mission statement to your students, and who you want to market to

8️⃣Fastrack: You do not need to have accredited courses or a teaching qualification to hold masterclasses

9️⃣Market your academy correctly: There is so much more to it than just posting on social media. Once your business is thriving enough then you can outsource the marketing to someone else

1️⃣0️⃣Understand Money: It was a very big lesson I learnt with a huge VAT bill at the end of it! If I’d had the right knowledge and guidance, I would have been charging VAT around month 8 of my 1st year

1️⃣1️⃣Find a coach: Having a coach/Mentor is an asset to you and your business especially if you are committed to making it work. It is also a tax-deductible expense

1️⃣2️⃣Don’t run before you can walk: The more time you spend on the foundations of your academy the more you will succeed within a quicker time frame

Success is NO accident. It’s hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice, and most of all LOVE of what you are doing or learning to do

Powder Brows to cover old red pigment 😍 how beautiful are these!

Why did this clients brows fade red?

She had multiple microblading treatments with another Artist over the years. Inorganic pigments are very popular for the hairstroke technique due to their faster fading over time and lower chance of pigment migration, and I assume this is what was used here.

The downside to some inorganic pigments, is they eventually can fade out to red, especially if at the time of the treatment they were also modified with warmth. 

Why did we not remove the red?

Removal isn't always needed, and why go through it if you dont need to? Red is super easy to cover with a powder brow, so if the shape is fine im happy to cover.

However, I wouldn't hairstroke over these as 1. The red will still always be visible and 2. This client has super dense, coarse natural hair. Shading will always blend better on brows like this.

This time around I used an organic line but kept my saturation low to ensure a nice fade out. Organics never fade to red, they fade cool over time, so as these brows fade that will continue to neutralise the old colour & they should never fade back to red 🙌🏻
