In Your Dreams Ink

The business is a permanent makeup studio that also runs an academy. The academy was added about four years before the About page was written, and it teaches the permanent makeup skills the studio uses in its own work. The academy says its curriculum covers all the topics a student needs and is designed to set students up for success.

Clients can book brow treatments such as microblading, ombre powder brows and combo brows, which start at $150. Lip blush and eyeliner also start at $150, and a semi-permanent foundation is priced at $200.

The training side covers eyebrows, eyeliner and lip blush. The Certified Eyebrow Course is 30 hours, covering microblading, powder and combo brows, and is spread over two days back to back with lecture and hands-on practice on practice skin. The eyeliner and lip blush courses are one-day, 15-hour classes with lecture and practice on practice skin. Each course includes a live demonstration, and students then work on a model in a separate appointment with the instructor on site.

Before class, students complete an emailed online lecture and a blood-borne pathogens online course that takes about two hours. Tuition covers the online lecture, a tutorial video, consent forms, learning material and lifetime support. The eyebrow course kit includes anesthetics, a full line of pigments, mapping material, microblading handles and blades, and a Mast tattoo machine with cartridges. The eyeliner and lip blush kits include anesthetics, pigments, mapping material, and a Mast tattoo machine with cartridges.

The site notes that no cosmetology or aesthetician license is required to work as a permanent makeup artist, and that the field is overseen by the public health department. Training is open to anyone 18 and over, and payment plans for courses are available by phone.

The studio says it keeps up with new technology and trends in the beauty industry so that its work meets client needs.
