So you’ve decided to take the plunge into the vast ocean that is the permanent makeup field. You diligently probe around the internet trying to find the little pieces of the jigsaw puzzle that will get you on the path to a new and rewarding career in microblading. Yet, at the end of the day, you’re left with more questions than answers about what the actual requirements are for microblading training.  We’re here to absolve you of that frustration as we discuss what requirements you may or may not need for microblading training. 

 

Time – It’s Essential

First and foremost, the biggest requirement for microblading is your time and time isn’t cheap, especially if you’re trying to transition from a different career. The biggest pitfall that we see in the up and coming microblading artist is the lack of their ability to prioritize time towards their goal.  It’s one thing to say you want to become a microblading artist, it’s another to actually become one.

You have to be ready and willing to sacrifice the time necessary to make informed decisions on how you approach your training.  Also, the most important requirement after you gain any type of formal training is practice.  You have to spend hours practicing microblading to perfect your skills and become successful at your trade.

 

Finding The Right Course

Going back to our last topic of time, you have to ask yourself “how much time do I really have?” Are you single without children? Are you married with financial support from a spouse? Are you a single mother working two jobs to make ends meet while trying to break through into a better career with microblading?

Having the answer to these questions will greatly increase your chances of success in microblading because it will help you make an informed decision on what type of microblading course you should take.  It’s highly recommended that you commit to a course that works with your current lifestyle and availability so that you are able to attain the knowledge necessary to become successful. 

Most respectable microblading courses will be a minimum of 3 days and include hands on training.  If you’re a great self-learner and can take everything that is taught in a 3 days course home to practice independently, then this is the best choice for your goals. These courses usually supply you with everything you need to go home and develop your skills over the coming months.

About 70% of microblading artists take some form of credited and formal group training course that provides detailed instruction over the course of 3 or more days. Our NeenaJayBrows course supplies each student with everything they will need, like a premium kit including tools, practice skin, blades, and a detailed instruction manual & workbook necessary to continue their training outside of the classroom.

For those who have much more stringent time restraints, we recommend a one-on-one training environment. Instead of an intensive 3 day course, the student and teacher decide on a more custom training schedule that better work with their schedule.  If you have a tougher time learning in a group setting, you can request a more personal one-on-one training course that is still intensive over a number of days, but gives you the personal attention you may need to develop your skills properly. 

If time is something that you really have a little of, consider a hybrid online training course that will let you pick up on the fundamentals of microblading long before you reach the classroom setting.  This will allow you to learn the theory of microblading and pigmentology on your own time and come in for the hands-on portion of the training.

 

Legal Requirements

The legal requirements for becoming a microblading artist falls under the jurisdiction of your local county health department and its body art regulations.  To the best of our knowledge, all microblading artists must be a minimum of 18 years old to practice.  Some counties will have different requirements and it’s important to check with your local health department to ensure you can obtain a license.

Nevada, for example, requires a 6 month apprenticeship under a licensed artist before receiving a license to practice in independently. Furthermore, Nevada requires artists to obtain a bloodborne pathogen certificate and CPR/First Aid certification.

We, at NeenaJayBrows, are accredited with the southern nevada health department to mentor apprentices and provide a 6 month apprenticeship program as well. Unlike the requirements for cosmetology or aesthetics, the apprenticeship doesn’t have a minimum hour requirements. This makes it possible to complete our hybrid 6 month apprenticeship at home with minimal classroom visits.

Some states and counties do not require anything more than a blood-borne pathogens certificate and a formal multiple choice test to meet standards. After receiving your body art card, your final step is to find a facility that is currently licensed as a  body art establishment. A licensed establishment will need to have proper sink access, room size, ventilation and coding. 

 

NeenaJayBrows provides both a 3 day course and one-on-one training in Las Vegas with courses available every month.  We are also proud to serve the Las Vegas, North Las Vegas, and Henderson areas as an accredited facility with our 6 month apprenticeship program.
