Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a beauty license to take this course?

No. The course is open to anyone. We’ll walk you through the specific licensing you’ll need after class to practice on paying clients in Erie County or your home jurisdiction.

Do I need prior experience?

No. This course is designed to start from zero. We cover foundations, technique, and business from the ground up.

Will I work on a live model during the course?

You’ll watch Ashley perform a complete procedure on a live model — this is the Live Demo module on Day 2. You’ll practice on professional synthetic skins throughout both days. Real-skin work begins after you’re licensed and ready, not during the course.

Where is the course held?

The course is held in Buffalo, NY. Exact venue details are shared with registered students 7 days before the course.

Has Ashley taught microblading before?

Yes. Ashley has been training artists for years alongside her client work. Dozens of artists have completed her courses. This cohort is her most comprehensive to date, with an updated curriculum, a professional machine included, and an expanded kit.

What if I don’t feel ready by the end?

You’ll leave with a printed training manual, a certificate, a professional machine, and a full kit. Most students practice on synthetic skins for 20–30 hours on their own before taking their first model post-licensure.

Can I cancel if something comes up?

The $500 deposit is non-refundable. The remaining balance is fully refundable up to 14 days before the course. After that, the balance becomes non-refundable but your seat is transferable one time to a future cohort.
