Vuu's Beauty School

Vuu's Beauty School is a training school in the Seattle area run by its owner, Kim, who says she has worked in the beauty field for more than 15 years. Its programs cover cosmetology, esthetics with eyelash extensions (classic, volume, hybrid and mega lashes), master esthetician, nails, barbering, balayage and microblading. The format is hybrid, mixing online coursework with in-person sessions.

The microblading course lasts 14 days. The first ten are private sessions with the school's training masters (Kim or other school staff), covering theory and practice on latex skin. The last four are spent with live models, and each student works on at least two to three of them. Listed topics include blood borne training, color theory, drawing brow shapes, sanitation and sterilization, and aftercare practices. The school sponsors students for the Washington State permanent makeup license and ships a study kit once the deposit is processed. Students are asked to register at least a week before class so they can use the online video library. Certificates are handed out on the final day, and students sign up by phoning Kim. The school also offers salon services done by students, including lash lifts, brow tints and brow lamination.
