You need an initial touch-up 5 - 8 weeks after your full procedure. Then you are good for about 2 years before needing to come to us for a periodic touch-up.

Your skin is forming scabs over the pigmented area. It is completely normal for your brows to get darker during days 1 - 4. Don't worry, they will heal to a beautiful, natural color.

Yes. During the healing process, direct exposure to sunlight and water expel pigment from the skin. We love the beach too, but we want the absolute best healed results for you.

Typical results last 1 to 3 years depending on the individual’s skin-type and lifestyle

Microblading is a technique that produces hair-like strokes throughout the eyebrow, adding shape and density. The strokes are etched into the skin using a manual tool and backfilled with pigment. PowderBrow is a technique that adds pigment to the brow area in a shaded, pixel-like fashion. This service leaves a natural look which enhances the brow shape and color. The results appear very soft and powdery; almost airbrushed.

We recommend at least two years between your first appointment and a periodic touch-up. This allows adequate time for the existing pigment to fade and ensures we are maintaining the health of your brow area :)

• Any person with a serious heart condition should consult with their doctor before scheduling a PMU appointment. • Any person who is currently taking Isotretinoin (Accutane ®) or has taken Isotretinoin within the last year. • Any person who is pregnant or nursing • Any person with a serious skin condition affecting the eyebrow area. • Any person who has undergone chemotherapy or radiation treatment within the past year should consult with their doctor before scheduling a PMU appointment.

Our consultation is built into the full session appointment. At your full session, we will map your face to create the perfect brow shape, select a pigment color to match your natural undertones and hair color, and walk you through the entire process in detail! Ultimately, we are working to achieve the most natural and healthy results possible. If you have any questions about PMU, email us!

We understand that your hair color may change and that is not a problem! During the color matching process of your full session appointment, your artist will create a pigment color based off of your existing eyebrow color and skin tone.

You are encouraged to come to your appointment wearing your makeup just like you normally would. We do not base our measurements or design off of your current makeup, however, knowing what look you are accustomed to helps us gage your expectation of the final product.

When receiving a full session PMU service at MDS, you will undergo our custom mapping and color matching process. We find the shape of your brow by using the natural geometry of your facial features and create the color based off your natural brow and skin tone. During the mapping process, we explain each step to you and will not proceed until you are 100% satisfied with the selections.

You cannot receive a PMU service while pregnant or nursing.

For most professions, there is no recovery period required for PMU services. If your job involves sweating, swimming or water activities, or exposure to dusty environments, we recommend you take some time off to adhere to our aftercare instructions.

For group workshops, you do not need to bring a model — students will practice on each other under the instructor’s guidance. If you’re scheduling a one-on-one workshop, we recommend bringing a friend or family member as your model—It helps tremendously to lower the nerves and ensures you get hands-on practice. In all workshops, the instructor will guide you every step of the way as you work on your model and refine your permanent makeup skills.

No. No license or certification is necessary to attend the workshop/1:1 Private Intensive. The permanent makeup industry is most commonly regulated by the state or county health department - not the board of cosmetology and barbers. Typically, you will need to follow all tattoo laws and regulations, not esthetic regulations. Be sure to check with your local/state laws on the permanent makeup rules in your jurisdiction.

Students receive 6 months of access to the online training portal upon enrollment. While you’ll have plenty of time to review the material, we strongly encourage students to complete the online portion within the first 30 days before attending their 2-day private intensive. Your private intensive training dates will be scheduled after your tuition has been paid in full. Once you’re ready, we’ll coordinate a Saturday and Sunday training weekend that works for both schedules. The private intensive takes place from 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM each day and is designed to reinforce the concepts learned online through hands-on practice, live demonstrations, personalized coaching, and real-time feedback. To make your training experience as comfortable as possible, a breakfast bar and dinner are provided both days. This approach ensures you arrive prepared, allowing us to maximize our time together and focus on technique, implementation, and real-world application.

Anyone can enroll in a MDS Academy training program, from anywhere! This in-person instruction is currently offered in Macon, GA. It is not uncommon to travel to a PMU course or workshop, so we try to make the in-person training as accommodating to you as possible. We are always working to expand our instructor presence across the U.S. to provide the most access to our students.

This is a question that is best answered by your city, county, and state's regulations for body artists. The regulations differ drastically across state and county lines, and it is your responsibility to ensure you are compliant with all local and state regulations. At MDS Academy we recommend you consult your local and state body artist regulations before enrolling in a course; never perform PMU procedures before having approval from your local regulatory entity.

All sales are final. You may unenroll from a in-person workshop/1:1 Private Intensive at any time, however, a refund will not be provided.

Sorry, no refunds are offered for MDS Academy courses or workshops. We can not guarantee your success as an artist, but we are confident that we will provide you with the highest quality training, student experience, and service in the industry. If you feel that your experience as a student did not meet your expectations, please contact your online instructor or support@micheldesignstudio.com for assistance.
