A Deep Dive into Microblading
Microblading is more than just a trend—it’s an art form, and Erica’s course at DAELA Academy covers every aspect of it, from foundational techniques to the latest advancements. Whether you’re new to permanent makeup or looking to refine your skills, this comprehensive training will empower you to master the art of creating stunning, natural-looking brows.
The History of Microblading
Before we dive into techniques, it’s essential to understand where microblading began. Originating in Asia, microblading has grown exponentially over the years, evolving into one of the most sought-after beauty treatments globally. Learn when it came to the US and how it evolved into nanoblading from an industry expert. By learning this history, you’ll gain a deeper appreciation for the craft and how it has shaped the permanent makeup industry.
Color Theory & Understanding Skin
A solid grasp of color theory is crucial for any microblading artist. Erica teaches how to choose the right pigments based on your client’s skin tone, undertones, and hair color. You’ll also learn all about skin types and how each type reacts to microblading, ensuring you can deliver long-lasting, beautiful results for every client.
Techniques, Including Nano Needle Mastery
Microblading requires precision, and at DAELA Academy, you’ll not only learn the fundamentals of using microblading tools but also advance your skills with nano needles, creating exquisite nanoblading results. Nano needles are finer than traditional microblades, allowing for even more detailed and natural strokes—an advanced technique that can take your brow work to the next level.
Shaping, Brow Mapping & Perfecting Symmetry
Creating the perfect brow starts with expert shaping and brow mapping. Erica’s hands-on training teaches you how to map brows that complement each client’s facial structure, ensuring symmetry and a natural appearance. This step is key to mastering the look of effortless beauty that keeps clients coming back for more.
Pigments & Needles: The Essentials
With so many pigments and needles available, it can be overwhelming to choose the best ones for your clients. In this course, Erica walks you through the top choices in the industry, how different pigments behave in the skin, and how to select the right needle for each client. You’ll leave with a deep understanding of how to customize your approach to each individual.
Preferred Vendors
In addition to learning about pigments and needles, you’ll gain access to DAELA Academy’s list of preferred vendors. These are suppliers that Erica and the DAELA team trust for high-quality, reliable products, so you can be confident you’re using the best tools in the business.
