Microblading is a cosmetic procedure that involves tattooing eyebrows to make them look fuller and better defined. This semi-permanent procedure lasts up to three years. However, making the fine, hairlike lines for your eyebrows to look fuller is an art form, so you can’t trust just any technician to tattoo beautiful brows. You need the help of skilled makeup artists such as the technicians at the OM Design Academy.

What Is a Microblading Technician?

A microblading artist is someone skilled in filling in thin eyebrows with precise strokes that look like natural hairs. This type of permanent makeup is hard to cover up if it is done incorrectly, so microblading technicians need a lot of training and some special certifications to keep their clients happy. Skilled microblading artists should be able to perform the following tasks.

  • Match tattoo pigmentation to the same hue as the client’s hair color so that eyebrows look natural
  • Measure and shape each brow so that they look identical
  • Apply precise tattoo lines
  • Touch up microbladed eyebrows as needed

Do I Need To Be Certified To Do Microblading?

Because microblading requires such a specific skill set, you need to become a technician in this field. With the right training, you can launch a successful career as a microblading technician and even build your own beauty empire. The first step to securing the certification you need to become a microblading technician is to take a training course. The American Academy of Micropigmentation and the Society of Pigment Professionals both offer accredited courses that teach a wide variety of topics, including the ones listed below.

  • How to communicate with your clients
  • Color theory and color mixing
  • Anatomy of the skin
  • Types of microblading strokes for eyebrows
  • Safety, sanitation, and sterilization
  • Techniques for correcting permanent makeup
  • Choosing the right needle and equipment
  • Facial structure and eyebrow design

 

Once you have completed an accredited training course, you can start studying for the certification exam. It is best to find an apprenticeship during this time of studying so that you can continue learning the art form from a master. Spending a few years in this role will give you valuable experience that will help you cultivate your own brand in the future.

Before you can take the certification test, you will need to complete a Bloodborne Pathogens Standard test. When you register for the certification exam, you will be required to submit your training documentation, BPS test results, and a valid driver’s license. The exam includes 100 questions related to microblading, and although you may take the test more than once, it costs $250 per attempt. Wait until you are comfortable with your microblading knowledge and techniques to take the test so that you can save money.

How Much Money Do Microblading Techs Make?

Although microblading has been around for more than a decade, it is still a relatively new trend in the beauty industry. There are not enough microblading technicians to meet the demand for the procedure, so the career is incredibly lucrative for those who are willing to pay the training costs.

Because microblading is a cosmetic procedure, technicians do not work with insurance companies or split their earnings with a practice. A single microblading session runs anywhere from $500 to $700, depending upon the technician’s experience performing the procedure. This means that microblading techs can easily earn up to $350 per hour and have the freedom to set their own schedules. On average, a microblading technician can earn anywhere from $50,000 to $80,000 a year by working with a spa or other business in the industry. A Freeland microblading technician stands to earn even more.

An additional bonus to this lucrative salary is that microblading is not permanent. Because the ink only lasts around three years, you can expect to have repeat customers on a regular basis.n This fact will help you build a sustainable business.

Why Should I Trust the Technicians at the OM Design Academy With My Microblading Needs?

Although microblading may seem like the perfect career choice because it is lucrative and flexible, you have to practice a lot to cultivate your skill. Although the training courses required for certification typically only last for a week, you must gain experience to become a master of the art form.
