Minnesota Brow Lash & Medspa Academy

Minnesota Brow Lash & Medspa Academy is a training school for microblading, permanent makeup and related beauty skills. Its permanent makeup courses come in several formats: full skill courses using both machine and hand-tool technique, machine-only courses, hand-tool courses, body art and tattoo courses, an apprenticeship, and online training. Courses listed on the site include a 6-day fundamental microblading and permanent makeup course, machine technique training for ombre brows, lips, eyeliners and color correction, scalp pigmentation, scar and stretch mark camouflage, and paramedical areola training. The academy also lists eyelash extension, esthetician, nail, laser, and neurotoxin and filler fundamentals courses, plus continuing education.

The academy says all levels are welcome and that classes are kept small. Online students have up to 6 months to finish their course. Apprentices work on live models under a supervisor for about 6 to 8 months, two days a week, to reach the 200 hours Minnesota requires, and the academy says it coordinates the licensing process. Payment plans are offered. The site also lists student microblading and permanent makeup services, with appointments available by reservation.
