How to Choose the Right Permanent Makeup Class for You?
The world of Permanent Makeup has grown tremendously in recent years. But with so many options available, choosing a PMU (Permanent makeup) class can be overwhelming—especially if you’re just starting your journey as an artist. Here, we share the key points you should consider to ensure you make a smart, safe decision that aligns with your goals.
Research the Academy’s Track Record
Look for an academy with proven experience, great reviews, and recognition in the industry. Make sure the instructors are certified, up to date, and actively working in the PMU field.
At Mahelia PMU Academy, for example, I have over 37 years of experience in the beauty industry and hold international certifications that support the quality of our training.
Evaluate the Quality of the Training
In my PMU (permanent makeup) courses, I make sure to include everything you need for a solid and professional education:
Complete theory: skin, pigmentology, needle types, and safety protocols.
Guided practice: starting on latex and then working on real models.
Personalized support: ongoing guidance even after the course ends.
I always encourage my students to avoid programs that only offer pre-recorded theory or unrealistic promises. Your training is an investment in your future, not a race against time.
Ask About Licenses, Materials, and Requirements
A professional PMU course should include:
A complete professional kit.
An official certificate upon completion.
Guidance for obtaining your Body Art Practitioner license if you’re in California.
In my academy, I guide you through the entire process—so you leave not only with the technical skills but also ready to work legally and professionally.
Look for Ongoing Support After the Class
True learning doesn’t end when the course is over. That’s why I provide 5 months of continuous mentorship after your in-person training. You’ll receive personalized feedback, work reviews, and access to a supportive learning community.
Trust Your Instincts
Finally, choose a place where you feel welcomed, heard, and supported. The connection with your instructor and the learning environment will make a huge difference in your confidence and success.
