Microblading Course

Add Microblading To Your Treatment Menu

Microblading builds a brow from fine, hair-like strokes of pigment, shaping and filling where hair is sparse, patchy or over-plucked. It is a treatment clients research carefully and choose on the strength of the work they can see, which makes it one of the more valuable skills you can offer — and one worth taking the time to learn properly.

You study online at your own pace, with video tutorials and eBooks covering the theory. You practise on synthetic skin first and submit that as your first piece of practical work, then complete three client case studies. Your tutor assesses each one and comes back with written feedback, and if something needs improving you can resubmit as many times as you need, at no extra cost.

What You’ll Be Able To Do

• Understand how microblading works — pigment implanted into the upper layers of the skin, and what that means for depth, pressure and healing.
• Read skin and anatomy, so you know how skin structure, skin type and the healing process affect the way pigment settles and how long it holds.
• Choose the right pigment using colour theory, so the result suits your client’s skin tone and hair colour instead of reading as drawn on.
• Map and design the brow so shape and symmetry suit the face in front of you, not a template.
• Work the stroke technique itself — angle, pressure and depth — and build consistency through repetition.
• Work to professional hygiene and safety standards, including sterilisation and the legislation that applies to the treatment.
• Consult and advise on aftercare, so your client knows what to expect as the brow heals and how to look after it.

What To Learn Alongside Microblading

Microblading is one of four semi-permanent make up treatments we train in. Clients who want a softer, more filled-in brow rather than individual hair strokes are suited to ombre and powder brows, so many technicians learn both and choose per client. semi-permanent eyeliner and semi-permanent lip liner complete the menu, and a client who trusts you with her brows will often book the others.

What You’ll Need To Practise

You will need your own microblading equipment and pigments, plus people to work on for your case studies. If you would rather have everything supplied in one go, our Microblading Kit has the tools and products to get you started.

Microblading Course FAQs

How long does it take?

You work at your own pace and there is no deadline. Most students complete their training within a few weeks to a few months, fitting it around work and family.

How is the course delivered?

Everything is online. Each unit has video tutorials and an eBook covering the theory, and you can study from a computer, tablet or phone.

Who do I practise on?

You start on synthetic skin, which you submit as your first piece of practical evidence. After that you will need three clients for your case studies. Most students start with friends and family who understand they are training, and build up from there as their strokes become more consistent.

How is my practical work assessed?

You submit case studies of your work for your tutor to assess, and you get written feedback on what is working and what to change. If anything needs improving you can resubmit as many times as you need, at no extra cost.

Do I have to buy the kit?

No. You can use your own equipment and pigments. The Microblading Kit is there if you would prefer everything supplied.

What support do I get?

You get feedback from experienced tutors as you work through the course, and access to our private student group where you can ask questions and share your work.

Can I pay in instalments?

Yes. You can spread the cost over three interest-free payments with Klarna or EziPay at the checkout.

How is this different from ombre and powder brows?

Microblading cuts fine, hair-like strokes into the skin with a manual blade, for a result that mimics individual hairs. ombre and powder brows shades the brow with a machine for a softer, more filled-in look. They suit different clients, and many technicians offer both.

Is this the same as an eyebrow tattoo?

It is a form of cosmetic tattooing, yes, but not the kind that stays put. With microblading the pigment is cut into the upper layers of the skin with a manual blade in fine, hair-like strokes, and it softens over time rather than remaining as a body tattoo would. Clients often say “eyebrow tattoo” when they mean microblading.

Do I need to travel anywhere?

No. The theory and video tutorials are studied from home at your own pace, and you practise on your own models wherever you are in the UK, then submit photographs of that work for your tutor to mark. There is nowhere to attend and no fixed dates.

Does the treatment hurt, and will I learn about numbing?

How a client experiences it varies from person to person. What the course gives you is a dedicated unit on anaesthetics in the Microblading module — what can be used, when, and the safety considerations that go with it — so you can advise a client properly before you start.
