"YOUR SUCCESS IS OUR SUCCESS" |
Being in the business since 1991, and correcting many different artists work, I decided to start training. It is important for me to do all that I can to train you to be a capable artist. The techniques you will learn are advanced. You will receive a certificate of completion through Permatech and American Academy of Micropigmentation as a student. Antoinette works on many models, actors, authors in the industry including men. She also spends much of her time working with cancer patience at no cost and is a proud member of the Rotary Club of Simi Vally to to help give back to her community. She also Demos at The Academy for Salon Professionals to aid in furthering their education on the beauty of permanent cosmetics. After correcting many artists work she decided to start instructing other artist that are already certified. And has certified many of the artists out there today.
I train in small numbers to give the students my full attention. You will receive 80 hour Advanced Training in Permanent makeup application with a permanent makeup kit (machine, pigments, numb solutions,needles,and more)to use after training. You will receive a complete manual with 10 hours of pre-homework to complete before the first day of class. We will go over the step by step manual and paperwork for your clients to fill out. You will be taking this information home to keep after class. You will need to put in 20 hours apprenticeship of one day a week during the weeks of training. There is an assisting program available to you for 1 year after certification. In total an 80 hour intensive course.
You will work on (Betty) your personal doll head to become familiar with your equipment and learn all techniques used. You will perform two hair stroke brows, eyes and lips on live models. You can bring your own model, a friend or family member which is a great idea for advertisement for you. This is a word of mouth business. If you do not, I will have models for you. All models must come in advance or call in for a consultation and fee payment of $75. We will practice consultations, color, shapes.
The Environmental Health Division is now registering all tattoo artists and are working harder to make it safe for all of us.

TESTAMONIALS |
Dear Antoinette,
I am so thrilled to have spent a whole day with you...
You were gracious and very giving of your time and experience, it really raises the bar for me to be a master technician, I would like to a take a day of hands on class with you. Please let me know ASAP what is the cost for that, and maybe even do my lips while there? I am working that hairstroke with my new Freedom Machine, love it, but still have not seen yet what the results are yet and where I need more training..
Thank Cortney too for me. Abby
My name is Andrea Henderson,
I am a massage therapist and esthetician with 17 years of beauty experience. Over the years I had often been told that doing permanent makeup was an excellent way to increase you skill set and increase your income. So I started to keep an eye out at trade shows for an instructor or school. I was quickly disappointed by what I found. Being a perfectionist/realist I could never apply something to one of my own clients that I wouldn't wear myself. Then one day I met Antoinette and her work was beautiful. The brows she did were pretty natural looking and professionally done. Needless to say I was very impressed. I was enrolled at Permatech in no time.
From my previous experience with continuing education and beauty school I had a "certain" expectation to what a permanent makeup class would be like. Little did I know that Antoinette runs her school like the Marine Corps. To date I have never had an instructor hold me as accountable as Antoinette did and still to this day continues to do. This has made me a better permanent makeup artist, because of her teaching style. .
This past Autumn, the difference in Antoinette's training and an "average" instruction was made clear, I attended a Permanent Makeup Boot Camp, and during the hands on portion I noticed students breaking sanitation and struggle with basic procedures. I was happy to be able to move through my procedures with ease and use my continuing education time so wisely. I was so grateful to have had an instructor who cared enough to teach me the right way the first time.
Antoinette has truly raised the bar!
Sincerely, Andrea Henderson
Dear Antoinette,
I am writing this to thank you for the expert, hands on Permanent Makeup training you gave me this past week.
It was a five day intensive well organized class in which I learned so very much. Your willingness to teach and share the many "tricks" of your (now our) very creative trade was a gift. Please feel free to use me as a reference to anyone interested in training with you! I will see you soon thru your assisting program now that I am a graduate:)
Warm regards, Lori Faith Dake
Antoinette,
You are a great teacher. I thank you so much, God has givin you a great gift. I promise to make you proud.
Sincerely, Wanda
P.S. I will surprise you soon!
