Beginner eyebrow
training

Before you commit to anything, you're welcome to come and observe a treatment with Gemma at the Newton Abbot studio. You watch a full procedure from consultation through to aftercare, see how the room runs, how clients are handled and what the work actually looks like up close. You can ask as many questions as you want, meet your trainer before you book, and get a feel for the environment you'd be working in. Most people find it answers the question they can't answer from a website: whether this is really the career they want. There's no charge and no obligation to book afterwards.

Access to the online learning platform opens as soon as you book, and you work through it in your own time before you arrive. It covers basic skin anatomy and how pigment behaves in different skin types, colour theory and pigment selection, contraindications and when to turn a client away, consultation and consent, salon hygiene, health and safety, blood-borne pathogens, anaesthetics, and needle theory. The point is that your four practical days are spent with a machine in your hand rather than sitting through lectures. You arrive already knowing why you're doing something, so the practical time is spent on how.

Day one starts with brow mapping and design on paper and on faux skin, then moves to machine handling: depth, pressure, stretch and speed. Day two builds classic hairstrokes, following natural growth patterns rather than a template. Day three covers ombré and powder brows, and combination work that blends the two. Day four is consolidation on live models with Gemma and Georgie beside you correcting in real time. Models are provided throughout, and with a maximum of two students per tutor you are never waiting your turn or watching from the back of a room.

After your practical days you complete six hairstroke brows and six ombré powder brows on your own models. For each one you send us before, after, healed and topped-up photographs. We review every set and come back with specific feedback rather than a grade, and if something needs more work we say so and tell you what to change. When we're both happy with the standard, you return for a single assessment day where we shadow you performing a full treatment start to finish. Certification follows that.

You leave with a full professional toolkit and carry case, not a starter sample bag. That means your digital machine, a pigment set, cartridge needles in the gauges you've been trained on, mapping tools including callipers, thread and pencils, practice latex, PPE and barrier film, aftercare products to give your first clients, and your printed manual. It's specified so that when you finish your assessment you can take a booking the following week without buying anything else. Consumables are yours to keep and we'll tell you exactly where we reorder ours from, at trade, rather than leaving you to guess.

Brow artists across Devon commonly charge £250 to £350 for a full set, with colour boosts on top. To put that in context: two treatments a week at £300 would be about £2,600 a month, and five a week about £6,500. Those are worked examples of revenue before any costs, not earnings you should expect. What you actually take home depends on your prices, how busy you get, and what you spend on pigments, room hire, insurance and tax. What fills those slots is not technique alone, which is why business and marketing strategy is built into the course rather than sold separately: pricing, consultation scripts, photographing your work properly, and the social content that actually converts enquiries into bookings.

It suits complete beginners, beauty and aesthetics professionals adding a service, lash and brow technicians moving into machine work, and career changers coming from something unrelated entirely. What matters more than background is temperament: this is detailed, close-up work that rewards patience and a good eye. If you're artistic, methodical about hygiene and genuinely interested in the clients rather than just the result, you will do well. If you want to be your own boss, set your own hours and control what you earn, that's exactly what this qualification is for.
