PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

Getting Started

Student acknowledges that starting a career in micro pigmentation requires understanding their state and local health department regulations for permanent cosmetics.  Globally Preferred Institute of Permanent Cosmetics is not responsible to obtain information concerning establishment or local permits/licenses.  Student is required to contact their state or local health officials directly.

Setting a good foundation is where we begin. We cover the basics to start your training.

Machines – Learn about the different types of machines used for the application of Permanent makeup.
Hand Tools – Learn about the different types of needles that are used for the application of eyebrows & eyeliner.
Color Theory – Understanding Color Theory is one of the main factors in developing a successful career in Permanent Makeup. Applying color theory to the field of permanent makeup requires the knowledge of pigment and skin tone = final results!
OSHA Standards – Get the latest information on governmental regulations concerning sterilization & decontamination. Learn proper procedures in setting up & breaking down your workstations. We also cover MRI Safety, the dangers of Hepatitis C, HIV, blood borne pathogens & OSHA Standards.
Business Practices & Marketing – In this portion of the class we discuss “industry standards” for finding a good location, setting up your business and what to pay or not pay for rent, sales and how to service your clients during a consultation; networking & marketing; the availability of support when you become a member of a national or local permanent makeup organization.
Aftercare – Learning aftercare and the importance of educating your clients on aftercare are discussed.  An educated client is a happy client.

Module

Brow Design
In this lesson you will learn about the application of Permanent Makeup to create Eyebrows.
Preparation - You will learn which topical anesthetics to use to numb the brow and how you can save time and money by mixing your colors and designing brow shape while waiting for client to numb.
Eyebrow Shaping – Learn the proper way to draw brows! We instruct you in the proper techniques of placement, symmetry, and choosing the best color for your client.  As the beauty industry has said for many years “brows are “sisters” not “twins”.  We discuss how to get your client to see their brows as a vital part of their whole face, not just matching brows.
Application – You will work with your instructor on performing an actual eyebrow procedure learning technique, stretching and the difference between regular eyebrows and hair strokes eyebrows.

Module

Eyeliner Application
Eyeliner may seem to be the hardest procedure to learn but once you know the secrets of great eyeliner techniques you will see it is the easiest and quickest procedure to perform.
Preparation – Learn all about the eyes and the structure of the eyelid. The importance of using the correct topical anesthetics and set up is emphasized.
Practice - You will practice the hand tool technique’s rocking motion on practice materials until you learn the proper movement.
Application – You will work with your instructor to perform an actual eyeliner procedure on a live model.  It is absolutely vital to a successful eyeliner procedure to understand stretching techniques.  You will go over these techniques as well as keeping your client’s eyes safe and comfortable.  You will perform the hand tool technique for your eyeliner procedure.

Module

Lip liner and Full Lip Techniques
Lip procedures have come a long way over the years; however, they still are considered a process not a procedure.  You will learn the possible concerns with lip procedures as well as how fun and profitable they can be.
Preparation – It is important that you and your client have a full understanding of the lip procedure.  You will learn how the tissue of the lip is very different to work with than regular facial skin with pores.  Color theory is the most important part of every lip procedure and we will discuss that in great detail.
Application - You will choose and mix the correct color for your client as well as learn the various lip techniques and when and why we choose each  technique for optimum results.

 

PROGRAM GOALS

Permanent cosmetics is no longer just for the rich or famous.  This industry is here to stay and the baby boomers who make up majority of the population, have the expendable income and want to use it to feel better about themselves, are making it stronger each year.

It is our goal to train technicians from all over the world to learn the finest techniques, the safest practices and to enjoy a career that is truly personally and financially rewarding each day.   If you like working independently, spending your day doing gratifying and fulfilling work both personally and financially, and enjoy interacting with different people, this will be the best career move you ever made.

You will be training at the Globally Preferred Institute of Permanent Cosmetics LLC in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere where you will learn the finest techniques and business strategies in the field of permanent makeup, you will learn to “work smarter not harder” while making money and enjoying your life! There will be many hours of hard work and study, but you will have the opportunity to practice and learn the skills necessary to complete most national requirements.

We do reserve the right to withhold certificate of completion if a student does not exhibit minimum standards of skill required to perform procedures satisfactorily.  Each student may sit in on (for viewing purposes only) one additional scheduled class free of charge if either the instructor or the student feels it is necessary.  If additional one-on-one training is required, student will be required to pay fees for private classes until minimum standards are met for certification if student desires to continue to pursue certification.

We know there is a lot to learn in the time frame allowed, so Globally Preferred offers on-going, telephone and email support direct with the President/Director of Education and the Vice-President/Chief Administrator for any questions or concerns you might have along the way once you receive your certification.
