Academy News - Modda Donna

In recent years, there has been a noticeable shift in the beauty industry towards embracing natural beauty and prioritizing skincare over heavy makeup. This growing trend signifies a change in how individuals approach their daily beauty routines, emphasizing the importance of healthy, radiant skin rather than relying solely on cosmetics to achieve a desired look. Let’s delve into the reasons behind the rise of the skincare over makeup trend and explore its impact on the beauty world.

1. Emphasizing Skin Health:

One of the key reasons behind the skincare over makeup trend is the focus on skin health. People are becoming more aware of the long-term effects that heavy makeup can have on their skin, such as clogged pores, breakouts, and premature aging. By prioritizing skincare, individuals are investing in products and routines that nourish and enhance their natural skin, aiming for a healthy, glowing complexion as a foundation.

2. Enhancing Natural Beauty:

The skincare over makeup trend is centered around enhancing one’s natural beauty rather than covering it up. Instead of using heavy foundations and concealers to mask imperfections, individuals are opting for skincare products that target specific concerns, like serums, moisturizers, and masks. This approach allows the skin to breathe and radiate its natural beauty, resulting in a more effortless and authentic appearance.

3. Time-Saving and Simplified Routines:

Another factor contributing to the popularity of the skincare over makeup trend is its time-saving nature. Extensive makeup routines can be time-consuming and require precision, whereas skincare routines can be more streamlined and efficient. With the right skincare products, individuals can achieve healthy and radiant skin with minimal effort, allowing them to embrace their natural beauty while saving precious time in the morning.

4. Self-Care and Wellness Focus:

The skincare over makeup trend also aligns with the growing emphasis on self-care and wellness. Taking care of one’s skin is not only about the external appearance but also about nurturing oneself from within. Skincare routines provide an opportunity for relaxation, self-reflection, and a mindful approach to personal well-being. This trend reflects a shift towards beauty practices that prioritize self-love, self-care, and overall wellness.

5. Environmental and Sustainability Considerations:

The skincare over makeup trend also has ties to environmental and sustainability concerns. With increasing awareness of the environmental impact of excessive makeup packaging and the use of harmful chemicals, many individuals are turning to clean and eco-friendly skincare alternatives. By adopting a skincare-focused approach, people can opt for products that are ethically sourced, cruelty-free, and have minimal impact on the environment.

The skincare over makeup trend is more than just a passing fad; it represents a broader cultural shift towards embracing natural beauty, prioritizing skin health, and adopting sustainable beauty practices. By emphasizing skincare, individuals can achieve a healthy, radiant complexion and boost their confidence, while also aligning with values such as self-care and sustainability. As this trend continues to gain momentum, we can expect to see a greater emphasis on clean, natural skincare products and a celebration of individual beauty in the beauty industry as a whole.

That time when dreams come true 🤩🥳.The time flew by very fast. I was sad that it was over so quickly.But what's important is that I chose this course because I saw the work of the master.

Just finished the “Top 3 Techniques in Permanent Makeup” and I have no words to describe how intense this course was, 7 days of theory and practice. I had 0 knowledge in this field but Olga helped me so much to understand and also to be more confident in all I do. The atmosphere was very nice, great colleagues and lovely assistants. I want to say a big THANK YOU for all of you specially Olga!!! ❤️❤️

Andreea Bogdan

I can’t recommend Olga herself and Moda Donna PMU &Beauty Academy’s staff enough. I loved the atmosphere, the communication was great and how helpful everyone is there. Olga is the A-star trainer, very professional, has a big experience in the industry and someone you can trust to. Thank you for everything you’ve done!

Happy with my training and my teacher. I went to another academy to do my level 2, but it was quite far for me to travel, so I found about Moda Donna and signed up for level 4. I didn’t expect anything, I just needed the certificate, but they really surprised me. Unlike other academies, they really take care of their customer service and looking after clients. The teacher actually wanted to share her knowledge and helped as much as possible so I can pass my exams successfully. I’ve also booked laser tattoo removal training, as it’s another popular treatment I can suggest to my clients. Can’t thank enough!

I am very happy with that place, everything was perfect from the beginning until the end🥰 I am finishing my studies today, I even feel a little bit sad that that interesting journey is now behind. 🙁What I liked the most are the location (I’ve never been to Canary Wharf before 🏙, it was so exciting to travel to that business district every week), facilities, how nice and tidy it felt to be there. People who work in there are very kind-hearted and responsive❤️ Every enquiry was dealt properly. My teacher Karina was very very professional, I enjoyed studying with her 🥰

Olena Bayrachna

12:45 07 Jul 22

I’d like to express gratitude to Moda Donna PMU and Beauty Academy and their team. Very professional at every level. My friend has recommended me that college when I have mentioned I am thinking of changing my life, as she heard good reviews about them. I never regretted of coming! I am now a qualified laser therapist with a good diploma. As much as I know, VTCT is one of the best qualifications you get. I would definitely recommend them.

What a beautiful experience, that started 2 years plus when I’ve first met Olga . I felt in love with everything she does , and decided to do Semipermanent Make Up course . There is allot I could say and all very positive. She teaches and shares her knowledge with warm heart and care for each student . She gives you comfort , supports your journey and encourage you to believe in yourself and go out there after your goals . It takes time to built anything , but when you have a strong foundation everything becomes a puzzle. She is the best of the best , from knowledge, professionalism and everything she offers . Many thanks Olga and I wish lots of students to start your journey with you . You are gold heart ❤️. Angelica C xx

I have now done 2 training courses with Olga over the past 2 years and even booked in for my own treatment. I found Olga and booked with her firstly because I absolutely loved her work it’s stunning, then when you meet her in person she is just a beautiful person, so kind and knowledgeable and she absolutely knows her stuff. She shares all her years of knowledge, tips and tricks and gives you the confidence to work by yourself. She’s always given me support after my courses and answered any questions I’ve had even months after!I now recommend her to anyone interested in a career in PMU.Thanks again Olga ❤️

I LOVE THIS COLLEGE!💙 Everyone is very friendly and nice, all the girls are energetic and willing to help. I liked that it was a short course but we learned all the essentials. From the first lesson we started to practice, we had half day theory and half day practice. I was very lucky to study in my group as we became very close during the course and I am happy to get new friends. I recommend you this college if you’re looking to study beauty courses. Can’t wait for my aesthetic mastreclasses as well as it’s what I always wanted to do. 💙

Great college with reasonable prices. Thank you to my teacher, Debbie for your kindness and support through out my studying process. I really enjoyed every lesson I have attended, it was very interesting and not waste of money at all.I dreamt of studying beauty for a long time, but I thought it takes ages, so I was scared of loosing too much time. However, I did not know there are places like moda donna where you can get the right certificate (that will be good for the insurance) in like 2 months. I recommend this beauty college.

Alyona Dushyna

12:45 18 Jun 22

I went to get laser hair removal here, and after just one session the difference is amazing. I see Greta, she is so friendly and professional and puts me at ease. I've recommended this place to my friends already.

Vicky Holden

Olga is an amazing teacher!! I did powder brows training with her in 2019 then I just returned to do a 2 day lip training course. I’ve worked in the industry for many years but was struggling with my technique and the client having pigment retention. Olga immediately corrected my errors and I have come away feeling confident going forward. It’s so important to always invest in keeping your skills up to date. When you work alone it’s easy to fall into bad habits. The venue is in a good location easy to get to.Olga is so helpful, you feel you have her complete attention and guidance. Thank you Olga xxxx

I did the permanent makeup course here and it was amazing!!! Olga is such a patient teacher who is no doubt a master at her craft. All the staff here were so thorough with assisting Olga to teach us. I didn’t feel rushed at any point whilst learning these skills. I would definitely recommend taking the lip blush and ombré brow course. I’ll definitely be back for the hairstyle masterclass. Thank you Moda Dona academy.Brow lala

I have an amazing time from start to finish,Olga and her team is absolutely amazing. Everything is 5 star experience. Also our free Pmu kit is an absolute high standard quality branded pigment & rotary machine, books. Normally when you have FREE stuff you don’t expect quality but this one is exceptional.Hats off to the gorgeous team of Moda Donna pmu & beauty academy

Mesotherapy masterclass with Flora was very very informative. So professional teacher that clearly knows a lot about beauty. It was a 1-day masterclass, however it felt much longer, considering how much we have managed to do during it! In the morning, we had theory and learned everything needed about the treatment. Later on, Flora has shown us the demo on the model. It was actually very useful (other academy I went to didn’t do it unfortunately). It was nice to see the whole procedure before practicing myself, as at least, I saw how it works and what is the technique. We practiced on latex and in the afternoon, our own models arrived. (Bonus, we didn’t have to search for models ourselves as everywhere else!). I am happy with my own performance and with Moda Donna in general. Can’t recommend them enough. I will be back for more courses.

13:36 23 Feb 22

The kind and warm atmosphere felt during training thanks to an excellent teacher and a wonderful person - Flora. They had an understandable presentation of the material, an individual approach to each student, responsiveness to any problem and the willingness to immediately approach, show, tell, help - all this made it possible to fully absorb new information, gain practical skills, and create a pleasant emotional atmosphere, just like at home. Thank you so much for yourprofessionalism, skill and sincerity!P.S. Bio Peel is the best add on to your portfolio treatment! My clients are amazed.

Very pleased with the level of education received.!😍😘 Karina was my tutor who has lead me from the beginning to the end. I have learned lots of information and we also practiced laser and ill on each other and models. It might seem hard at the beginning, but if you are consistent at learning, you will end up passing an exam. 😍Thank you to the management and the nice people who work in there. I couldn’t be more happier with that positive vibe around me.Good teachers. Beautiful academy. VTCT certificates.Thank you!!😘

It was my first PMU course. I wasn’t sure what to expect however this has been a wonderful experience. Olga and the rest of the team ( her assistants) were extremely helpful. They were super professional but at the same time warm and relaxed which made me feel at ease. All questions were attend to , more tutoring , help was available. A lot of support during training sessions and also after. Very clear instructions , detailed information , personal advise , future professional recommendations etc My expectations where absolutely met.

I would like to say thank you to Olga and all members of the team. The school gave me a good start to my career. You learn not only how to use a machine and do pmu, Olga teaches you how to start your business, how to take good photos, how to talk to your client, how to promote yourself. She gives you lots of honest and up to date information. She supports her students even after courses. She always finds time for everyone. I am looking forward to seeing all of them again and definitely will do courses for professional development.

I would like to say a huge thank you to Olga for her amazing work. I’ve had my lips done, permanent makeup, and it looks absolutely perfect. So natural that you could never tell that there is a PM on, and also it’s worth to mention that the treatment was painless.I really enjoyed the experience and will be definitely coming again!

I want to say big thanks to Olga Mankovskaia ❤️and all members of Moda Donna Beauty Academy team for the PMU course which I attended last year. Olga is a very passionate and talented teacher.

I had my permanent make up course done with Olga Mankovskaia and I couldn’t have a better trainer! I had no background in the industry and her teaching technique was amazing, such a patient and warm person, she helps you in everything and doesn’t let you leave until you fully understand everything. I complete the course and had clients straight after, she gave me the confidence and I am so pleased to have her on my journey even if the course ended. You can always go back to her for advices and feedback which these days this thing is rare. Highly recommend her and her team! They all so good! 👌🏼❤️

I saw Moda Donna in Instagram and decided to get in touch just to find out some more information. I went in to have a look around and bough the course the same week and I’ve never regretted about going there!What I really liked about the academy:-Nice staff-Small groups-Classrooms and equipments-They have their own study books we got as a present!I’ve paid less than other colleges were asking for the same courses, however I went to a few of them in and Moda Donna definitely stands out: clean reception, big classrooms and everyone seemed very nice and happy.I hope my review would help you to choose the right beauty college, but I can 100% recommend them to anyone.

Today I am finishing VTCT Level 2 in Facial Massage and Skincare. As a celebration surprise, the school has prepared for us some drinks and snacks and also, they have set up a little photo area where we were taking pictures with my classmates and our teacher. I like how modern and creative they are, I felt that their customer service is just 10/10. The standards are high, I am happy I went there. I’ve bough an express level 2 & Level 3 course and thinking of also upgrading to level 4 after to also perform laser hair removal treatments in our salon. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Best laser school! Finished vtct level 4 in laser hair removal and IPL. I was scared of starting something new from the beginning, but after talking to Irina on the phone, I have decided to try something new for myself.It is very pleasant to study here, they have a friendly atmosphere and an excellent teacher. We practiced everything on models, in general, we were amazed by such an amount of practice. The theory classes were very fun and enjoyable.

The best academy in London!I have started at this Academy with permanent makeup courses and after being very surprised with the level of teaching (Olga Mankovskaia is just the most wonderful teacher!) I also have booked my slots for microneedling and chemical peel masterclasses. I would really recommend Moda Donna for anyone who wants to expand their treatment lists and bring more clients in. I am self-employed myself and before, I only had Facial certificate and was working as a beautician with basic treatments. After graduating, my profit has already grown 1,5 times and I’ve just started to offer new treatments to my clients. Thank you Moda Donna for your kindness, professionalism and all the effort.

So far I’ve done VTCT L2 Facials, L3 Anatomy and Physiology and VTCT L3 in Electrical Facials. The courses were full of valuable information and the whole studying experience was very positive. My teacher’s name was Debby, she is so lovely. She helped me a lot and was very patient with our group. I’ve made new friends, enjoyed coming to the academy and most importantly, getting my insurance soon. Def recommending Moda Donna!!!

I was studying Level 2 Facial Skincare course in a different school before. However, after the second week I have left them as they were very unprofessional and unfair. After that unpleasant experience, I was googling on where else to go and found out about Moda Donna that is perfectly located close to my house. The closest station to the academy are Crossharbour and South Quay DLR, I am living 2 stations away so great location. The manager of the academy, Kristina, has done the full training and health and safety on the first day we arrived. We have started with studying theory one the first couple of weeks and then the teacher added some practical parts where we had to perform treatments on each other (new covid-19 rule to keep the same bubble within the classroom). I really preferred it this way as everyone was at the same level, studying and we got a facial ourselves every week which was also a little bonus:)They have parking, lunch room, coffees and all the kits (+uniform) and books. We could keep everything after. My favourite wad the uniform as I am now using hot as my work clothes, another bonus.Moda Donna Beauty Academy is a very good school if you are looking for the beauty education and quality for a good price.

I am happy to write this review after receiving my new DIPLOMA today 🥳🥳🥳I can finally start working as a laser hair removal specialist and on top of that, perform IPL Treatments 🤩I'm not going to lie - this is not a place where you go to and they just give you a diploma as long as you pay. They actually make you study hard and learn new things on a daily basis 🤗 I definitely prefer it that way!!Thank you to everyone - my teachers, the management team, my classmates! You made this experience unforgettable ❤❤❤

I would recommend this beauty academy to everyone who is looking for:best beauty education, international diploma, affordable price!!Apart from the amazing teachers and lovely staff, we had a nice cozy lunch room, free coffees and cupcakes, bunch of their own books, FREE UNIFORM GIFT, parking and much more!I have done L2 Facial Skincare, L3 Electrotherapy for Facials and have just prepaid for L4 in Laser and IPL that starts this June. They have an amazing range of courses and I only wish I'd have an unlimited free time to do all of them.Thank you Moda Donna and see you soon for Level 4 xx

I'm having amazing results with laser hair removal from session 1 ! Everyone is very friendly but a special thank you to Greta , the therapist selected for me , makes me feel at ease in every session !I also had a voucher purchased as a gift for my mum and the clinic always do a patch test or consultation before proceeding to any type of treatment and at the consultation they mentioned my mum didn't have the skin type reccomended for the treatment I purchased so they wouldn't guarantee any results and they actually suggested not to do it and the voucher was refunded . I really appreciated the honesty . Probably other clinics would have done it anyway even if no results after!

Moda Donna is one of the best academies with very high standards in literally everything. If you are looking for a proper beauty school with quite a range of courses, few well-equipped classrooms, good management system and also, in a very beautiful location - Moda Donna is the place to go to.I am satisfied with the standards and the level of teaching. It might seemed to be stricked, but you actually come out with strong knowledge!I highly recommend this academy to anyone, who is looking for a beauty Education and VTCT diploma!

I would love to give a huge thank you to this school! I have completed my level 2, Level 3 and now level 4 qualification and have already signed up for another Aesthetics course. This is literally the best beauty school I've been to in London, they pay attention to everything starting with covid measures and facilities and finishing with a very string teacher and professional workers. Can't wait to start my aesthetic course.

Loved the course and the whole atmosphere there from day 1. The course starts at 10am and we were finishing at around 4-5pm. In my opinion we had a perfect amount of practice and theory. There also were some assessment days and the results came back very quickly. The academy has a very nice breakroom with comfortable sofa and a coffee machine with very tasty coffee. My whole experience was absolutely positive, and at our last day we had a little celebration after everyone passed their exams 🥳

I'd like to share my experience with you today after completing the Facial course at MD. The course was spreaded into 7 weeks and I had to come once a week. Since I also study at the uni, it was perfect for me to combine the course with my studies. The academy is located in Canary Wharf near the South Quay station. I liked how easy it was to find it. The teacher and the academy manager were extremely nice and polite, I feel very grateful for everyone I have met during my course ❤

This was an extremely useful experience to support my career in the beauty industry! I can't thank enough the tutor and the whole team that was very very supportive. When I just came for my first day I was very nervous as my last experience with the beauty course was not really good... But straight after I arrived, I saw that the organisational level was on top and my intensive course has flied by so quickly! I have already signed up for the next course I am starting in a month time. Thank you Moda Donna!!!

How to choose where to study beauty?

A beautician is a professional who eliminates skin imperfections and makes people more beautiful and self-confident. Many women want to master this specialty, but do not know where it is better to go to study to be a cosmetologist.

After all, the quality of education directly depends on whether you become a successful in-demand cosmetologist or waste your time and money.

In search of a suitable school of cosmetology, future students go to the Internet and simply drown in the flow of information. There are hundreds of educational institutions in London that offer beauty courses. And each claims that they have the best teachers, great programs and the best prices.

Where can I study Beauty?

Beauty therapist: duration of study and choice of beauty courses – Moda Donna PMU & Academy

Beauty is an actively developing industry that annually attracts not only millions of clients, but also thousands of professionals who wish to start their careers in the beauty industry. That’s true, many of them have little idea of what kind of professionals work in salons and beauty clinics.

To begin with, it is worth understanding that a beautician is a rather broad concept that has absorbed several professions at once, with different levels of training and areas of work. Thus, there can be a beautician-cosmetologist, aesthetician, nails technician, laser hair removal therapist and many more other options! The list of duties and responsibilities is determined by which education and what beauty level a beautician has completed.

An educational institution should have an educational license

By law, everyone who undertakes to teach and conduct certification must have an educational license. But not everyone follows the law. Someone claims that the license is in the process of obtaining; some educational institutions do not even think of acquiring official status. Quite a common option is when the school works under an agreement with another educational institution, which has everything in order with the license. This scheme is completely legal. But keep in mind that you will receive a diploma on behalf of another educational institution.

Information about the license should be available upon your request from the management. Moda Donna PMU & Beauty Academy is a government-approved college and meets all the requirements to teach student. Thus, we are VTCT, ABT and CPD accredited college which gives us an opportunity to teach the variety of beauty courses.

Academy location

It is clear that the most convenient location is that which is closer to home or work place. But you cannot please everyone in this matter, so larger centres are trying to be located closer to the center, preferably within 1-2 zones. When examining the location of the school, also try to find out how long it has been at the specified address. There have been cases when the school shows one room to the student, and classes end up being held in some cramped room in an inconvenient area.

Moda Donna PMU & Beauty Academy is located in the heart of Canary Wharf area. There are good transport links and students can walk to us within 3 minutes after exiting the station. The closest stations are South Quay DLR (3 mins walk) and Canary Wharf Station Jubilee Line (10 mins walk).

Quality of Tutors

It is important to know who is going to teach you and what qualifications they obtain themselves?

Good indications are that the teachers have CIDESCO or VTCT qualifications. Also, it is important if someone you learn from, has years of the experience in the industry themselves. Make sure you ask questions like that while visiting the academy.

Reviews

This parameter can be the most informative, but at the same time confuse you. Pay attention to the number of reviews: large popular schools tend to have a lot of them. Read carefully about other students’ experiences so you know what to expect from the academy and if there is anything you like or do not like. You can check google reviews, Facebook reviews, instagram comments, etc. There are hundreds of possibilities to read about the academy you are going to attend.

Cost of education

It’s good when there is an opportunity to choose a place of study according to the level of education, and not its price. If the cost of training in the chosen institution is too high for you, ask the managers if there are discounts at some times of the year. For example, at Moda Donna PMU & Beauty Academy it is also possible to pay money in instalments. Perhaps it makes sense to postpone the start of your studies a little in order to accumulate the required amount. Remember, choosing a school with a truly high-quality education is critical to your entire professional life.

You will probably pay attention to the total price of the course without our advice, but divide this figure by the number of academic hours and compare the result with other offers. Many schools offer cheap courses, after which you will have to take another three or four specialised courses, which are also cheap. But when you add up the cost of all the “cheap” courses together, you’ll find that you paid more than the big expensive program at the leading school.

Is it difficult to open your own beauty salon in the UK?

If you have money, opening your own beauty salon in the UK is generally simple: you need to find premises and register a business, then take all the papers to the council of the relevant city. Another option is to stick to being self-employed and rent a room from already existing salon/clinic if you don’t want to spend time on all the legal staff.

To open even a small beauty parlor, you will need an impressive start-up capital. The money is needed to rent premises (from 800 to 2000 pounds per month), possibly repairs, as well as the purchase of equipment and materials. You will have to follow the finances in full – either independently or with the help of an accountant (who also costs money): because of the mess in the reports, the tax office can either fine the hapless cosmetologist or even close the company altogether. But the main advice that Moda Donna can give to novice cosmetologists in the UK is this: to be always in a good mood! “People feel it and react to it. For example, clients find us themselves, then they bring their acquaintances. At the end, you might not need any special advertising, and when you have enough clients, sometimes you will have to refuse new ones, ” the director of Moda Donna Beauty Clinics & Academy shares his experience.

If you have any further questions regarding becoming a professional beauty therapist, or simply do not know here to start, you can also get in touch with our friendly team by calling on ☎ +44 7404 783 116 or sending an email request on cs@modadonnabeauty.com.

We look forward to seeing you at Moda Donna PMU & Beauty Academy!

Beauty industry has survived the crisis well: the average salaries of cosmetologists have been growing for the last two years, and the number of vacancies has remained at the pre-crisis level. While bank employees, travel agents and sales managers were cut off by the hundreds, beauticians continued to make money even after the crisis.

In order to start your career in the beauty industry, it is necessary, first, to determine the future direction of your activity. After that, choose a place of study and after acquiring the necessary skills, develop further in this area. The most important point in this case is the choice of teachers and the place of training. The beauty academy “Moda Donna Beauty Academy” offers a very wide range in the choice of direction for training. On the website of the company modadonnabeauty.com you can familiarise yourself with all the training conditions in more detail, as well as choose the necessary courses for yourself.

Are you interested in the profession of a beautician, but don’t know where to start? We are starting a series of publications to help you navigate the world of Beauty.

Does a career in beauty suits me at all?

It is no secret that in order to make a successful career in a particular field, it is necessary to have certain personal qualities and, depending on the chosen profession, the desirable and required qualities can be quite diverse.

What kind of people are attracted to the beautiful service industry?

Here are some general characteristics that will help you understand that you are on the right path, that it will actually be useful for you to complete, for example, permanent makeup courses (or, on the other hand, make you think whether it is the right choice for you):

Start with choosing a direction.

So, how to achieve success in the career of a beautician, aesthetician, makeup master, nail technician, laser specialist or any other beauty specialist? First, find your own niche. Today in London there is a large number of various educational institutions and courses. Among them, you can find either short-term express training programs (for example, chemical peel masterclass) as well as long-term courses that allow you to learn beauty with zero experience behind the back (for example, VTCT Level 2 Facial Skincare Course).

This career gives you freedom of choosing the direction, great flexibility in time and place. You can work with any national or international brands and climb the professional ladder. You can also work in popular beauty salons, spas, clinics. Moreover, this is one profession that gives you the opportunity to become your own boss or become a successful entrepreneur and salon owner.

What are the beauty professions there?

Is investment required to start?

With little or limited investment, you can work from home, but investment is still necessary. Think about purchasing all the required materials, renting a space to perform your services, getting all the necessary insurances, certificates and documentations ready.

After deciding on what direction you’d like to go, whether it will be employment in the beauty salon or starting your own business, you should be ready to make an investment. For example, you can open your own salon or take a franchise and become a successful entrepreneur. In such cases, you need to take into account many factors that in the future will affect the efficiency of your enterprise. The main ones are:

This flexibility in terms of time, investment and the size of your business is something that perhaps no other profession offers. You can continually update and expand your knowledge with new courses and technologies to stay on top of new trends.

In any case, it is better to start with yourself first, as you must learn foundation and advanced knowledge in order to perform your services.

How much do beauticians earn?

Permanent makeup artists are one of the most demanded masters on the market. An average procedure takes about 2 hours, and you can earn from £250 to £500 per session. And now try to count if with the right qualifications, experience and marketing you take 2-3 clients a day 5 times a week. I am sure you can do the maths yourself and count how much you could earn. 😉 And this is far not the top you can reach.

If you decide to be a beautician in the beauty salon/clinic, you could expect about £12/hour + commission and tips. Working full-time will give you an opportunity to earn a salary that is higher than the average UK’s salary, plus benefits, such as space, materials, no marketing fees and colleagues with similar interests to yours.

Whatever path you choose, you’d benefit from being in that industry in any way.

The realities you might face.

But not everything is as bright as it might seem at first glance. The sphere of beauty is a daily hard work that requires full dedication. And also patience, professionalism, constant self-improvement and development. Without the desire to study, immerse yourself in the profession and constantly improve the level of skill, it is unlikely that something will work. Although, this is really a real opportunity to build your own business with minimal investment at the start.

How to choose an Institution for training.

It is important to understand that you cannot start without special qualifications. The more prestigious a school or educational institution is, the better. It is certainly not desirable to save on this. If the applicant shows himself on the good side, then he may also get an employment after the course. At the end of the course, the new specialist must be issued a diploma or certificate. Otherwise, it will be difficult to prove your qualifications. The most well-known qualifications in the UK are VTCT, NVQ, ABT and CPD. These are certificates you want to aim at getting.

When choosing a centre for training in the specialities of the field of beauty, you should pay attention to many points. Looking for a good beauty school or permanent makeup courses? Reviews from current specialists who have already graduated from a number of trainings will greatly simplify the task. Do not forget to inquire about the availability of certificates, as well as the teaching staff and technical background.

Eyebrows are one of the defining factors that allow you to highlight the beauty of your client. Correctly selected shape of eyebrows according to the type of face will hide small nuances and correct imperfections.

When looking for the perfect eyebrow shape, it is important to achieve a harmonious balance between what is given by nature (natural brow bend is a clue to listen to) and what one wants to get depending on the type of face. All of them require a different approach to the correction of the shape of the eyebrows, and it is no coincidence: if you do it correctly, you can noticeably soften some of the shortcomings that your client wanted to hide or, conversely, turn them into advantages.

Eyebrows can both emphasize the beautiful features of the face, making it visually slimmer and tighter, or spoil the shape and even the whole appearance. Therefore, do not rush to adjust your client’s eyebrows without knowing the basics of drawing the eyebrow shapes. To get started, read our article and listen to expert advice on how to choose the shape of the eyebrows for different types of face shape.

The main types of eyebrows shapes.

Eyebrow trends change as often as fashion trends. In this matter, it is extremely important not only to follow the trends, but also to choose the shape that suits your client. What are the most common shapes of eyebrows?

◌ S-shaped (curved) – the most difficult type of eyebrow, which can only be done by an experienced master. Looks very elegant;

◌ Angled – the classic shape, which is an ascending smooth line, the outer tip of which is much thinner than the head;

EYEBROW SHAPES FOR DIFFERENT TYPES OF FACE

Choosing the Eyebrows Shape for Round Face

The dream of many girls with this face shape is chiseled cheekbones instead of rounded cheeks, no matter how cute and charming they look from the outside. Therefore, they overuse contouring, trying to at least visually make their cheeks more sunken. But you are much more likely to get sculpted facial features if you shape the eyebrows with a graceful break. They should have a corner and a pointed “tail”. Since round faced people, as a rule, do not have sharp facial features, such eyebrows look especially expressive in their case, bringing charm to the face.

Choosing the Eyebrows Shape for Oval Face

The oval shape is considered ideal for a reason; almost all types of eyebrows are perfect for them. Perhaps the only exception is straight wide eyebrows – they make the features rough, and also visually shorten the oval.

◌ Angled – they give the look of romance and femininity. The main thing is to make the corner soft and smooth. An overly sharp bend can make the gaze harsh and even somewhat vicious;

◌ Straight – visually smooth out some oblongness of the oval shape and make it rounder. Remember that the shape must be symmetrical. But in order to soften the gaze and not make it gloomy, slightly pinch an eyebrow inside, this will raise the arch and open client’s eyes;

◌ Arched – this eyebrow shape will make sharp features softer. To make the round shape of the eyebrows perfect, be sure to think about the ratio of its main indicators – the length, width and height of the arch.

Choosing the Shape of the Eyebrows for the Square Shape

The “square” shape is characterized by a clear geometry of the eyebrows. Highlighted cheekbones and forehead should be softened with a semicircular, soft arch of the eyebrows. In this case, they will add femininity, charm to the image. Choose a medium length of the brow arch, not too thick, but not sparse either. No sharp corners and extremely natural color. You will see, you will get a delightful complex result.

Experts recommend making the bend angle raised high. Ideally, it should be located above the outer tip of the eye or above its middle. The tip can be made a little longer than usual – you should avoid short lines. In terms of width, stick to medium or slightly larger. Thin “strings” are not allowed – square faces will look ridiculous with them. However, this also applies to wide horizontal eyebrows, which expand the square and make it rough.

Choosing the Eyebrows Shape for Triangle Face Shape

Clients with the “triangle” shape need to visually narrow the wide cheekbones and forehead. To do this, avoid overly long lines. For triangle face shape, the most beautiful shape is the S-shaped (curved) eyebrows. However, to create them, the client should have natural eyebrow features such as good density and natural bend. To create a S-shaped eyebrows follow these instructions:

◌ Work on the arch. Remove hair from the inside of the bend creating a nice corner;

With a triangular type of face, the forehead is especially noticeable, it seems “heavy” due to the fact that the upper part of the face is larger than the lower one. A well-chosen eyebrow shape should fix this. Firstly, It should not be straight. Secondly, try to either make them arched, or with a slight lift of the “tails” up. If they will “look” down, the face will have a sad look.

Try to visually round your client’s chin with a rounded eyebrow shape and you will see how much a client will transform! Moderately dense, oval arches of medium depth of the arch without strong bends will favorably emphasize the face. This solution is perfect. A large density of hairs is permissible. It will look not only good, but also fashionable.

Choosing the Eyebrows Shape for Rectangular Shape

The ideal eyebrow shape for a rectangular face is wide and straight. They should not be positioned too close to each other, because this will make your face even longer and narrower. To correct this nuance, pluck the hairs near the nose, and make the tail moderately thin. Ascending lines with a light arch, which will soften the look, will be no less beautiful option for the “rectangle” face shape. But high arcs and sharp bends are completely inappropriate.

Avoid rough curves and bends by favoring smooth brow lines. Owners of a rectangular face, as well as a square one, should visually soften the geometry. Therefore, you should not choose sharp corners in the brow arch and choose the classics.

So, you have finally completed your assessments and exams, celebrated the start of your new career and received your long-awaited diploma. Well done!

And now the question, what’s next? How do I start? Where do I start? Where do I get my clients from?

For a newly opened beauty salon or a novice beauty master, the question “Where do I find my first clients?” is always one of the most important ones at the beginning. You could go to a seminar and find out that you need to draw up a plan, write a budget, draw a hyped mind map. In this case, you would spend a good amount of money and time on knowledge that is freely available.

In this article, we have decided to write down some helpful tips and advises to help you go get through this exciting, but hard initial stage of starting a job in the beauty industry.

10 ways of how to attract clients for a novice beauty specialist?

1. Word of mouth

Any survey always clearly shows that “Friend/family recommendation” is in the first place.

The fact that friends become the first clients of any beauty master confirms the experience. It is easier to work with friends or family, they have a positive attitude and if something happens they will forgive some minor mistakes, which is important for novice specialist.

2. Website

In the age of technology, there is no need to talk about the importance and necessity of having a website. The site does not have to be a large-scale expensive portal, it can be a simple business card site with information about services, prices and contact details. You can post photos of the results and of your workspace, so clients have an idea where they are going and what they should expect. There are free website creation services, so you can create your own website today for free.

3. Social networks

Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and TikTok are the main popular social media platforms today. You can post information about a company and what you do completely free of charge. Social media can be used as an additional tool to attract customers.

Many beauty masters find their clients through social media. For some technicians, social media becomes the main tool to find and maintain clients. The main thing is to fill your pages with quality visual and written content.

Do not limit yourself to just maintaining your personal pages, there are many thematic groups, for example in Facebook, in where you should post photos of your work.

4. Business card

A business card is a must-have for any professional these days, the question is how much it helps to sell your services. Do a little test, start giving out your business cards, and see how it contributes to customer acquisition. Make sure you check it contains all the ways of contacting you – phone, website, e-mail, address, any other essential information you want your client know. After writing the text for the business card, check if it is immediately clear what services you provide. You could also make a special offer on the business card (the simplest option is “10% discount if you show the card.” The highest rating will be given to business cards that simply won’t raise a hand to throw away – not only because they are unusual or beautiful, but also contain extremely useful or important information, e.g. a calendar, a useful quote, the time and date of the next visit.

5. Discounts for the first visit

What promotion should you create to attract clients for your treatments? The simplest, obvious and therefore no less effective option is to make discounts on their first visit with you. It might seem that you will loose money and work for nothing, however if they like you, in a couple of procedures you will be able to start making profit from that client. You can also create a competition on Instagram or Facebook where people, for example, win a free treatment for doing a repost.

6. Clients exchange with other beauty professionals

What other beauty specialists do your clients use? Hairdresser, beautician, hair removal technician, dentist, yoga instructor? Use these opportunities to create mutually beneficial partnerships – each of you can recommend services to your clients. Try to choose a specialist whose clients coincide with your target audience, so that partnership can be mutually beneficial.

7. Promotions for beauty procedures or products

Run special offers and promotions regularly. Do not limit your imagination here. You can come up with many ideas for attracting a client. Some therapists give discounts for a birthday, someone gives a discount for the fact that the client brings her friends. The second option, by the way, is effective and can help expand your customer base.

Referral programs and bonuses work great. Here are some examples: a longer facial/shoulder massage for every fifth peel as a gift. Or everyone who does a facial every month has a 10% discount for the other treatments. Experiment, watch the reaction, come up with new options.

8. Online paid promotions

Advertising on TV or in newspapers is expensive and often does not pay off. On the Internet everything is simpler, cheaper and more profitable. There are several types of online advertising.

Contextual advertising is an advertisement that is shown in Google search results as an answer to a search query. It is not cheap and will suit those who have a website.

The second option, advertising in social networks. For example, Facebook or Instagram, does not require huge budgets and gives high results. It will not be difficult for a beautician to quickly build up a client base with its help.

9. Don’t forget about yourself

Some technicians do not realise how important it is to have a neat and well-groomed appearance and clean and steamed uniform. If you are a cosmetologist, then your own face should look good, this is also an advertisement.

Improve your qualifications, always be in trend and be aware of new products that constantly come up on the market. It is essential to offer up-to-date therapies and services.

Communication with the client is also a very important factor. Avoid controversial topics, politics, religion. Do not start arguments and do not try to convince your visitors or you risk losing them.

10. Service

High-quality service is the key to success for any beauty salon or private master. It is no less important than the quality of the services provided and the qualifications you own. After all, a satisfied client will become a permanent one and will definitely bring his friends and relatives. At the same time, a dissatisfied client, for example, will also tell his friends about this, which will inevitably lead to the loss of clients and a decrease in the company’s reputation. The high level of service also always favourably distinguishes the company from competitors.

Each client wants to feel special, therefore, regardless of whether the client is a regular or not, whether he uses several salon services or only one, he should be paid no less attention than others. Even the little things play a role here. For example, to offer customers instead of “Tea or coffee?” 5 varieties of tea, professionally brewed coffee and specialty chocolate. Also offer brown sugar or sweeteners for weight-watchers. In the waiting room, you should keep magazines of various topics, neatly stacked. If the magazine is torn, too wrinkled or dirty, it should be removed from the tables, as it already looks untidy, and the client will already be unpleasant to hold it in his hands.

No salon and no master can exist without clients. Therefore, the main goal should be not so much attraction as retaining customers, so that each new incoming customer becomes a regular one. The client can determine in 1-2 minutes whether the master is attentive to him. You can’t make a first impression twice. This means that you need to be especially attentive to the client at the first meeting, because on it he will form his opinion about you.

Let’s summarise

Create all the conditions so that a client who comes to you once, comes to you again and again. Then the customer base will grow, and the amount of new customers will always be high.

And do not forget to constantly update your qualifications and fill your wall with latest diplomas and certificates.

Every year new and new procedures come to one of the most popular markets – Hair Removal Market. The trend for a clear skin has been around for years and every year more and more women look for new options to remove hair from their bodies.

In order for masters to keep up with the trends and understand what procedure they should perform to attract more clients, we have written this article.

Depilation or epilation.

When clients wants to find the most effective way to remove hair, they would go for epilation rather than depilation. Why?

Depilation is a hair removal method that does not affect hair’s follicle. The most popular depilation methods are a razor and a depilation cream. They destroy only the upper part of the hair and only for a short period of time. Moreover, over time, the treatment has to be done more often, and the hair becomes thicker and thicker each time. We can say with 100% accuracy that depilation is definitely not an effective way to permanently remove hair.

Bio-epilation (sugaring and waxing) is often compared to depilation. We fundamentally disagree with this, since the effect is very different: over time, from procedure to procedure, the hairs become thinner, and the period between procedures increases.

In the process of another epilation methods, laser, photo- or electro- hair removal methods, the hair follicle is destroyed directly, which prevents its further growth. This is the main difference between epilation and depilation. This method can claim to be “the most effective hair removal treatment.”

Laser Hair Removal.

Laser Hair Removal Treatment is a number one hair removal method on the market. It is not surprising, as this is the only method on the market that allows clients to remove body hair permanently.

During the procedure, a laser beam penetrates the skin, heats up each hair from the inside and destroys the hair follicle.

For those who dream of permanently removing hair and are looking for the most effective way, laser hair removal treatment is just the right one. Laser allows going through the hair to the hair follicle, destroys it and seals the hole from which the hair grows. The procedures must be carried out once every 3-6 weeks. The course of laser hair removal treatments is usually 8-12 sessions. After that, clients can forget about unwanted hair for a period of up to 3-4 years (provided that the technology of laser hair removal was followed carefully with each session).

Contraindications: People with a higher melanin content in their skin are not advised to proceed with laser hair removal, as this can lead to hyperpigmentation. It also does not threaten people with fair skin and blond hair, because there is no melanin for the laser. In addition, those receiving laser treatments will need to wear sunscreen for at least a month to reduce the risk of hyperpigmentation. However, anyway it is advisable to always wear SPF to keep your skin young and healthy.

Pros: hair becomes smaller after the first procedure, the intervals between procedures increase, but clients cannot take long breaks between sessions.

Cons: If the procedure is performed unprofessionally or with an outdated laser, burns and even scars may remain.

In order to avoid any scars and burns, we have VTCT Laser & IPL Treatments course at Moda Donna PMU & Beauty Academy. During the course you will be able to find out the foundation ions of laser, how to choose the right laser to suit the clients’ skin, health and safety and much more in just 6 days!

Waxing and sugaring.

What seemed to our ancestors as torture, today has become a universal method of hair removal. As a result of the procedure, the hairs become thinner and softer, and the skin remains smooth for up to two to three weeks. Melted wax, which must be applied to the skin with a special spatula, is still widely used today. The technician should apply wax to the body, cover it with special paper, and then with a sharp movement tear off the paper in the opposite direction to the growth of the hair. The hairs remain on the paper / fabric.

Contraindications: The biggest risk is that wax may burn or stretch the skin. Waxing is not recommended for those taking isotretinoin. Retinol is also not recommended for those who have recently had bleaching and exfoliation, those who have used chemical depilatories, or those with sensitive skin.

Cons: excluding the fact that the procedure is quite painful, the effect of it is also quite temporary. After approximately 3 weeks, it has to be done again. The client is not allowed to use razor and has to wait for his next waxing/sugaring appointment to remove hair.

Conclusion.

Which treatment to perform is absolutely up to you. There are advantages and disadvantages of both. Our personal choice is Laser Hair Removal as it gives a permanent effect. That is clearly the reason we have chosen it for having in our Beauty Clinic and in our Beauty Academy to teach new technicians to perform the method on their clients.

Working as a Beauty Therapist in a Salon or Being Self-Employed?

When our students finish the course and finally receive VTCT Diploma, they become employable and can finally start looking for a job.

However, we understand that it is hard to decide what type of employment to choose: Employed or Self-Employed?

We have decided to make your life easier and wrote down advantages and disadvantages of becoming Employed or Self-Employed Beauty Therapist.

Employment. Working in a Salon or a Clinic.

Almost half of the people (47%) from the beauty industry choose to be employed. Most beauticians start by getting employed by a salon or a clinic. Therapists and Artists find it to be the easier way to start the career, as you can get the industry feeling, have clients and learn from experienced colleagues. At the same time, there is number of disadvantages that makes people to want working as a freelancer or a self-employed. What are the advantages and disadvantages of being employed, we will list below.

Advantages of being an employed as a Beauty Therapist in the salon/clinic.

+ Stable salary. This is probably the biggest and most significant plus of working for a company. You will know that you are guaranteed to get paid on a certain day and you will know how much. For many people, it is stability that is the determining factor for the work path they choose.

+ Stable amount of clients. Another great advantage of working for someone is that every day you come to work, you most probably have clients and even if you don’t, the employer will still have to pay you.

+Your boss and management are responsible for marketing and advertising what means no hustle for you to find your own clients.

+You do not have to worry about the taxes, pensions, allowances etc. You can also apply for mortgages and loans, as banks prefer stable income and are more likely to give it to you.

+All the equipment and materials are the salon’s expenses. You will not have to worry about looking after your stock, deliveries and of course, paying for that. We all know how much some equipment and materials might cost…

Disadvantages of Employment.

Becoming a Self-Employed Beautician/Cosmetologist.

According to NHBF, 57% of people from the beauty industry choose to be self-employed. Self-employment is when a person is classified as self-employed in order to manage their business activities. This means that a person (individual) is a business and is engaged in commercial activities. In simple words, a person and a business are “one and the same”.

What does it mean in the beauty industry? You can either rent your own space to take clients or also, work in a salon/clinic, however being responsible for your own taxes and have a flexible schedule.

What are the Self-Employed Beauty Therapist Advantages?

+You don’t have to share your income and clients with anyone. When you work for someone, you normally only get your fixed salary and if you are lucky, a percent from the client, and the rest of the profit would go to the owner, to pay off the bills, the cleaner, etc. When you work for yourself, all the profit is yours and only you are responsible on how to invest and spend it.

+ You don’t have to share your income and clients with anyone. When you work for someone, you normally only get your fixed salary and if you are lucky, a percent from the client, and the rest of the profit would go to the owner, to pay off the bills, the cleaner, etc. When you work for yourself, all the profit is yours and only you are responsible on how to invest and spend it.

+ If you are unwell, you only have to warn your clients or those with whom you have working agreements, but you no longer need to go to the hospital with just a seasonal cold as you have no one to report to.

+ You can only work with the clients you like. We understand that in the beauty industry, that is specifically aimed at working with clients, you get all kinds of people. When you work in a salon or a clinic, you cannot say to your manager that you will not take the next clients as she is very rude to you. However, when you work for yourself, you can build your own client base and only work with those, who you like seeing.

+ You can take a holiday whenever you want. It is especially convenient when your husband or wife is, for example, an office worker and you need to adjust.

+ No one will ask you to go to work on a weekend, holiday, or stay late in the evening. Everything is only according to your free will!

+ You still should wear a professional work uniform, even if you are self employed, especially if you’re a beauty therapist, aesthetic therapist or work with the laser. But you can choose if to wear it or what to wear.

+ If you decide to work from home (please note, for some treatments you should have a license and insurance, follow all health & safety rules and have a separate treatment room), there will be no need to get stuck in traffic jams or push around on public transport every day. On top of that, your expenses will reduce by a significant amount.

Disadvantages of Becoming a Self-Employed in the Beauty Industry.

We understand that the list of advantages is big and attractive, and you could already start thinking of becoming a self-employed. However, before considering this path, we feel responsible of mentioning the disadvantages that await you when you become a self-employed in the beauty industry.

Whatever path you choose you will benefit of its advantages and we are sure, you will fall in love with the beauty industry as we did over 10 years ago.

Ten The Most Common Mistakes Permanent Makeup Beginners Make – Moda Donna PMU & Beauty Academy Advices.

Everyone does mistakes. Even the most experienced permanent make-up technicians can do some mistakes. What we want to say, is that this is absolutely normal, as mistakes are here to learn from them! Starting something new is always not easy, each industry has its own nuances that are worth knowing about. Permanent makeup is no exception. There are many details in our business that the novice master, most probably, did not hear about. In this blogpost, we have decided to write down ten the most popular mistakes PMU beginners do to help you to avoid them in the future.

TEN MISTAKES THE NOVICE PERMANENT MAKE-UP MASTER DOES.

1. Sketch drawing and shaping.

Without seeing the face as a whole, predicting the results after any general aesthetic face corrections and knowing the standard proportions, it is impossible to draw an ideal sketch.

It is good when a technician quickly enough catches the basics of the make-up or has an inner instinct in understanding the proportions, shape and general vision. These are usually students who love to paint, have previously done makeup or have an art education. Drawing a sketch is easy for students with graphic abilities.

1. fear and uncertainty, which lead to the fact that the drawing of the sketch takes more time.

2. and taking responsibility for the drawn shape and convincing the client that the shape is the right for her.

However, there is no need to worry if you are not an artist and do not have any art relative educations. During the course, good institutions will always provide enough practice for you to start seeing the proportions clearer.

Conclusion: Learn how to paint and choose professional permanent makeup courses with a strong teaching methodology.

1. Ignorance of the theoretical foundations of colour and the concept of brightness, saturation and purity of colour

2. Ignorance of the composition of pigments, the behaviour of all its components followed by the ignorance of the pigments you work with, their capabilities and features.

3. Concepts of the ratio of “warm” and “cold” pigment and different types of skin.

5. Changes in the colour of the pigment due to its various refractions under the epidermis

6. Understanding the principle and algorithm of colour correction of the existing colour option

All this is difficult for a novice specialist to master. At the same time, it is also necessary to remember that the colour is influenced by the depth of the pigment, the density of its application and the individual characteristics of the organism.

Only an understanding of all these nuances will make it possible to obtain predicted colour variations and make your client become more attractive.

3. Communication with the client.

When starting to work directly with a client, novice masters tend to also make mistakes. To understand the client’s desire and propose possible solutions to the problem – this is what every specialist should be able to do.

It is necessary to understand that a person who is not versed in the intricacies of the profession can see a photo on Instagram and decide that she wants the same. But your task as a professional is to explain to the client that everything is individual, because we are all different, and what suits one person may be a mistake for another. Speak out all the nuances and stages of the procedure, discuss the colour and shape to the smallest detail and always sign “Voluntary consent to the procedure”. Before enrolling a client, you should discuss contraindications and advice on care, both before and after the procedure.

4. Not enough experience.

Experience in permanent make-up is the unity of knowledge of several disciplines: medicine, coloristic, colorimetry, make-up, psychology, in addition to your own acquired skills and observations in the process of work. In general, this is what’s called the professional’s eye.

In simple words, novice masters have either no experience or not enough experience.

With an individual approach to the procedure, any permanent make-up specialist must have knowledge of all the above disciplines, in addition to knowing the work ethics. And this means that he is much more likely to make a mistake than specialists, whose actions are clearly indicated by criteria, standards, regulations. It is experience that gives inner confidence and a general understanding that you are a specialist in a rather complex field.

The more experience you gain, the more you understand this and the more accurate you begin to refer to your job.

5. “Permanent Makeup is a simple procedure!”

It is not simple. The beginner realises this as he starts to work and most often, starts to panic. The first unsuccessful jobs sometimes lead to a loss of optimism. But you need to understand that this is a normal situation, because the skill is formed not only gradually, but also unevenly. Usually, during training under the guidance of a teacher, the student feels a relatively quick equipments mastery. This is especially popular during the practice in the latex. But when they start working with patients on their own, novice masters are faced with a large number of problem situations and, as a result, make mistakes.

The most common is the inability to work with the pigment. Unfortunately, there is a percentage of trained specialists who gave up PMU during the process of just beginning their career. That’s the reason why, here at Moda Donna PMU & Beauty Academy, over 70% of the training is practice, practice and again, practice. It’s never enough of it!

The conclusion here is that you need to believe in yourself, in your strength, have a desire to develop and achieve high results. It requires time and persistence, but if your desire is high, you will achieve a lot. The perfect example are our diligent students.:)

6. Wrong equipment.

The purchase of the device might depend on the academy you’ve been studying at.

“Which device should I buy?” Of course, everything is individual. It is quite difficult for beginners to understand this immediately.

In our opinion, working on low-quality equipment is the biggest mistake that leads to regression – this is disrespectful to yourself and your potential client. The main slogan we suggest to the future professionals to stick to is “Being honest, using high quality equipment and keeping everything safe are three the most important rules of a good therapist.”

7. The use of anesthesia.

We couldn’t avoid mentioning that issue in a separate paragraph. Permanent make-up is a painful procedure, that of course, requires the use of anesthesia. At the moment, a fairly large number of anesthetics are used on the market, which make life easier for us and our patients. However, inadequate anesthesia, non-compliance with the method of application, the wrong choice of painkillers – all this can result in a cost of human life.

3. In general ignorance and misunderstanding of the processes occurring when using anesthetics, especially with the use of vasoconstrictors.

To protect oneself from legal claims and ensure comfort during the procedure, a novice specialist should remember that hypoallergenic anesthetics do not exist. And since in case of complications, the actions must be immediate and clear, inside every aesthetics package there must be an instruction that explains how to provide immediate first aid for all variants of complications with a prescribed algorithm of actions that the PMU therapist must read in advance.

And also clearly understand that the bulk of anesthetics are simply not certified in the UK and cannot officially be used in the permanent make-up procedure.
