Beauticians, Learn How To Microblade In 2022

There are many beauty training courses available today. However, there is no denying that microblading has become exceptionally popular. After all, we are all searching for the perfect eyebrows. Over the years, we’ve gone from virtually non-existent eyebrows to sporting thicker brows than our boyfriends! 

No matter what style of eyebrow you’re a fan of, microblading is a great way of creating the perfect brows. This is why many beauticians are looking for funded beauty courses in microblading to enhance their careers. After all, from mastering a microneedling machine to offering tattoo removal, adding more services to your offering can only be a good thing!

So, what even is microblading?

In basic terms, it is a semi-permanent eyebrow tattoo. People hear the word ‘tattoo’ and assume that the eyebrows are going to resemble slugs! However, natural results are achieved through this method. This is because the approach involves using specific needles to draw through the client’s epidermis (skin), just like your eyebrow hairs. This gives a natural appearance. This can last up to one year if the client has oily skin or up to two years if they have dry to normal skin. 

What can you expect from a microblading course?

A credible microblading course will typically last a few days overall. This is because there are a number of parts of the learning process, and so it’s not something that can be just crammed into one day. These beauty courses will typically start with theory and practice on skins, followed by practice on live models. You will then need to come back at a later date so that you can practice top-ups and color correction on live models. Some of the different things you can expect to learn about are as follows:

• Health and safety
• Carrying out full microblading treatments
• Practice on fake skin
• Practical drawing exercises
• Understanding various microblade blades and tools
• Client consultation
• Brow shapes
• Color matching
• Understanding pigments
• Structure of the skin and skin tones
• Patch testing 
• Allergies and contraindications

Needless to say, choosing a course with care is important. The last thing you want to do is tattoo wonky eyebrows onto your client.  You only need to do a quick search of microblading gone wrong online to see what we’re talking about!

If you do train in microblading, it is so important to make sure you communicate with your clients properly. After all, you need to be on the same page regarding their vision and your own vision. You need to ensure that your clients are aware that the shape of their brow is based on their face shape and structure. One of the biggest problems that a lot of people have when it comes to microblading is that their clients have completely unrealistic expectations, meaning they will never be happy with the results. This is why the consultation part of the process is so critical. 

So there you have it: the art of microblading. If you are a beautician and you are looking to move forward, you should definitely consider taking one of these courses.
