What days of the week are classes held?

I definitely want to practice on a live model, why isn't this offered as a standard part of the course?

It is the philosophy of Microblading Essentials founder that most students are not ready to begin working on live skin alone after just a 2-5 day course. Weeks and months of practice on paper and synthetic skins is mandatory in order to develop the understanding, muscle memory and new skills for the microblading technique to begin to be performed independently on live models.

Sassy Wink Academy offers ongoing mentorship and future live model practice opportunities (send an email to [email protected] to request a live model day with Amber ). There should be NO RUSHING into working on live faces until the student can consistently design two matching brows, duplicate proper hair stroke patterns (mirrored on both brows) and with consistent depth on the mannequin and artificial skin.

Do I need special licensing or insurance to offer this service?

It is up to you to check with your state board of cosmetology and state department of health and county for current regulations and licensing requirements.

I’m not an esthetician, cosmetologist or permanent makeup artist, can I take a microblading course through Sassy Wink Academy?

Yes. As long as you are in compliance with your city/state/province requirements for tattooing. Check with your state department of health, state board of cosmetology or the like.

How quickly can I expect to begin taking clients after this course?

It depends on YOU. Some students dedicate themselves to hours of daily practice and begin working on models within weeks, taking paying clients in a matter of a month or two. Others slowly work towards this goal and may take 3 months or more before they are actually beginning to take clients. Those who take advantage of mentorship via Voxer app may reach their goals faster. Be gentle with yourself and allow yourself the time to build up the necessary skill and confidence before taking paying clients. On average, with focused and daily practice, one might expect to be feeling a level of confidence in their microblading skill within 3-6 months.
