FITTING · PRACTITIONER AND CLIENT AT THE BROW, REFERENCE IMAGE

Every academy describes its training well. The useful work is comparing them on the same measurements. Start with your own goals, then hold each course against this short list before you enquire.

YOUR FITTING CHECKLIST

Which brow result do I want to create first?

Am I new to brows, or already working with them?

Do I prefer a hand tool or a machine?

How much supervised practice do I need to feel steady?

What support do I want once training ends?

Not sure how the techniques differ? Read Brow Mapping: Measure Before You Mark first. Every technique begins there.

I — QUESTIONS TO ASK ANY ACADEMY

Ask about the cloth,

not just the label

A course title tells you the technique. These questions tell you how it will actually be taught. Bring them to every academy you compare, including ours.

Trainers

Who teaches each session, and which techniques do they work in themselves? How much time do they spend watching your hand, not just demonstrating?

Practice work

How do you move from practice pads to skin? Who gives feedback on your strokes or shading, and how often is it given?

Class format

How is theory balanced with hands-on work? Is brow mapping taught as its own skill, and are hygiene and skin knowledge covered before technique?

Support

What guidance is available once the course ends? Can you ask for a trainer’s view on your early work? Ask for written confirmation of inclusions, duration and any certificate before you enrol. You can meet the people behind our teaching on Our Trainers.
