Everything you need to launch your career
No experience required
Every course starts from the fundamentals. You do not need a beauty background or a cosmetology license to begin permanent makeup training.
Real hands-on training
You work on practice skin, then on a live model under direct supervision, so you leave with real experience, not just notes.
Kit included
Every in-person course includes a professional starter kit and training manual, plus access to supplies at trade prices.
Support after graduation
Retake your class once for free within 12 months, and keep asking Valentina questions as you start working.
Business know-how
Learn how to price your services, photograph your work and book clients, so your new skill becomes a real business.
Payment plans
Cost should not stand between you and a new career. Flexible monthly payments are available through Cherry.
Mastery passed from artist to artist
Valentina Zayed has built her permanent makeup career over 14+ years and two thriving studios in Rancho Cucamonga and Los Angeles. With a background in architecture, she teaches brows the way she designs them: through proportion, balance and structure.
“I teach what I wish someone had taught me, so you can build your career faster and with fewer mistakes.”
Every technique she teaches comes from her own client work. When you train with Valentina, you get a mentor who still works in the chair every week.

Read all FAQsDo I need experience or a license to enroll?
No. Our permanent makeup courses are built for complete beginners. To work on clients in California you register as a Body Art Practitioner with your county and complete a Bloodborne Pathogens course, and we walk you through both. Brow lamination and tinting are different: in California they fall under cosmetology and esthetics licensing.
Which course should I take first?
Most beginners start with Microblading & Combo Brows or Ombré Powder & Combo Brows. If you want to start with design only, Expert Face Mapping or the online course is a great first step.
Will I work on a real person?
Yes. Every in-person PMU course includes a live model demonstration and your own supervised live model procedure.
Can I pay over time?
Yes. Flexible monthly payment plans are available through Cherry. A deposit reserves your seat ($500 for PMU courses, $200 for one-day courses) and goes toward tuition. Pay it online in seconds.
What support do I get after the course?
One free class retake within 12 months, plus ongoing mentorship. Valentina still answers student questions long after graduation day.
