Microblading has been the most popular treatment for years now, and it’s no wonder it is the most profitable technique to learn. Whether you already have some permanent makeup skills and want to add microblading to your services, or you are an absolute beginner, here are the things you should know before adding this treatment to your menu.
Make sure you understand the fundamentals
Before you start learning how to perform the microblading treatment, you should get informed about it. There is a lot of information about it online. Learn what is microblading, how it is done, what tools are used, what the preparation and post-care look like. It will all be covered at your training, but you don’t want to start your microblading course totally unprepared.
Get a Proper Training
Some people dare to learn microblading by watching youtube tutorials, but clients don’t like uncertified artists. Therefore, proper training is a must. Microblading training should include all the theory about the procedure as well as the practical part. Make sure your instructor is skilled and reputable, and that they are able to answer all of your questions. Few people will tell you this, but sometimes one microblading course is not enough. You need to constantly work on your skills and improve, whether it’s by practicing on your own, taking an apprenticeship or more courses.
Keep learning
Microblading eyebrows requires precision, patience, but most importantly, a lot of persistence and practice. If you don’t have any previous knowledge of tattooing or permanent makeup, it can be a little bit harder than it looks. Prepare to spend months working on your technique and practicing on fake skin before taking your first clients, Also your first models should be someone from your family of friends, willing to help you start your own microblading business. Do not start working on real people before you are 100% confident.
Get a microblading license
It is important to get yourself informed about what you need to become a certified and licensed microblading technician. In most states, you will not be able to work unless you are licensed, but some states have loose regulations and laws and let anyone do microblading. Fortunately, the laws are becoming strict because so many unprofessional microblading artists have appeared. So, you need your certification. This is usually obtained after the completion of the training, but only if you choose an accredited school. For other licenses and permits, contact your state or local health department. The regulations for getting a microblading license vary from state to state.
Start small
If microblading is your first and only permanent makeup skill, that is is suggested to start small, meaning not to open a salon immediately after the training. It is recommended to use shared space at the beginning. This means you can rent a chair in a salon. Not only is this more affordable, but it is also a good chance to reach more clients. Those who come for some other treatment in the salon may get interested in your services as well. Once you build a steady clientele and save enough money, you can start thinking about going big.
Microblading really pays well
The average price of microblading in the United States is $400. Since you are a beginner, you should charge slightly less than average, but not too low. If you drop your prices too much, it may seem like you are inexperienced, so value your skills. The better you become, you will be able to charge more. Even if you have a couple of customers per week at the beginning, the money you invest quickly pays off. However, don’t expect to earn big money overnight. Success comes only if you work hard and are patient.
Dealing with clients
Microblading business is usually a very rewarding job. You’ll get to meet a lot of positive people whose lives you will literally change by making them feel more confident about themselves. However, there will be times when you will have to deal with difficult customers. This is a normal part of every business. It can be stressful at the beginning until you learn how to handle these situations. Be confident in your skill and there’s nothing to worry about.
Promote your microblading business
Every business needs some kind of promotion. In the beauty industry, social media is the best promotion tool. Follow the latest trends, make sure you post your best works on social media profiles. It is advisable to check how competition does that and copy some of their most effective tricks. Announce all the promotions, display the products you use and post pictures of your salon (once you open your own).
Conclusion
If you already have a salon, adding microblading treatment in your services is a must. It is often requested treatment and you will attract more customers. On the other hand, if you are choosing a new career in the beauty industry, microblading is a perfect choice.
