THE ART & SCIENCE OF MICROPIGMENTATION

SO WHY CHOOSE PRETTYOLOGY ACADEMY?

WHY PRETTYOLOGY

A Unique Approach to Micropigmentation

Recognized internationally, Prettyology Academy sets the gold standard in micropigmentation training. Distinctly renowned for our rigorous and comprehensive programs, the Academy champions a holistic approach to PMU education, bridging theoretical knowledge with indispensable hands-on practice. It is our belief that a strong foundation is key to cultivating competent and skilled professionals.

At the helm of our program is Julie Michaud, the first licensed permanent makeup artist in Boston, carrying credentials as both a PAAM (Platinum Trainer of the American Academy of Micropigmentation) and a CPCP (Certified Permanent Cosmetic Professional). A ten-time “Best of Boston” Eyebrow Design award winner, and a mentor who has trained no less than seven “Best of Boston Winners,” Julie’s expertise and passion imbues our program with an industry-leading perspective, transforming novices into competent professionals who are ready to make their mark.

We proudly boast endorsements from both the AAM and the SPCP, a testament to the high standards we uphold in our curriculum. It’s not just about meeting benchmarks for us, but setting new ones, as we believe in constantly pushing the boundaries of excellence in our field.

Guided by a mission to enrich the industry, we strive to instill in our students not only the skills, but also the commitment to deliver excellent results. The goal is to consistently uphold and elevate the reputation of the micropigmentation industry. With Prettyology Academy, you are not just learning — you are becoming part of a transformative journey in the world of permanent makeup.

"The truth is not all training programs are created equal. Sadly, many students aren’t getting the fundamental and hands-on experience that this industry and the clients it serves truly deserves. There are numerous training organizations that have surfaced over the last several years which aren't approved by either the AAM or SPCP. In contrast, our academy is proudly approved by both.”

The Prettyology Academy Trifecta

Our training approach, the trifecta as we like to call it, consists of three pillars that we believe are the backbone for a successful career in micropigmentation. We also employ a student:teacher ratio as low as 1:1 in hands-on clinic sessions to make sure each student is getting the maximum amount of personal attention in each area.

Technical Skill

{Learning the Techniques}

In our academy, to put it simply, we start with the fundamentals. Our training provides the solid foundation you will need to embark on a successful and confident career in micropigmentation including:

WORLD-RENOWNED BROW DESIGN TRAINING
No two faces are the same and therefore brows shouldn’t be either. We will teach you how to make decisions based on face shape, personality and other factors with our brow shaping technique that clients from all over the world come for.

THE BEST QUALITY TOOLS AND SUPPLIES
We are proud partners with the best PMU brands in the world and work with their tools for your training and also with all our clients. We are only interested in working with the highest quality tools and pigments that give long lasting, consistent, excellent results.

Artistic Eye
{Applying the Techniques}

Technical and artistic skills come together for flawless results that clients will be happy with. We will help you take the techniques you’ve learned and develop an artistic eye to put it into practice with:

HANDS-ON EXPERIENCE
There’s no substitute for practicing this art on live models. Through multiple supervised procedures for each of the brows, eyeliner and lips, your art form will begin to take shape.

PROPRIETARY COLOR THEORY METHOD
Color theory can be hard to grasp and is something people often struggle with for their entire career. We’ve developed a proprietary method for teaching color theory to easily take into account the undertone of someone’s skin when choosing the correct pigment.

Fostering
Intuition
{Bringing the
Human Touch}

Micropigmentation is a personalized process and each client has unique needs. We teach our students how to work with clients as individual people.

THE ART OF LISTENING
Being able to listen is just as important as knowing the various techniques. We will help refine your ability to read between the lines. Some clients won’t know exactly what they want, so it’s important to ask the right questions and listen to what the client is saying both verbally and nonverbally. Our students learn how to apply what they know to what their client wants for a result that everyone is happy with.

EACH CLIENT IS UNIQUE
Some training facilities use a cookie cutter formula where the brow design is the same, regardless of the client’s age, skin condition, face shape, personality or desire. Our students learn how to tailor their services to suit the needs of each individual client which is vital for client satisfaction, word-of-mouth referrals, and career longevity.

Thorough Training & Support

Success in this industry is directly related to the quality and thoroughness of the training you receive. So by design, our program is more in-depth than many others. Our 100 Hour Fundamental Training Certification with a 1:1 student:teacher ratio for hands-on clinic sessions is approved by the American Academy of Micropigmentation and consists of three parts:

Part 1 – Pre-Study Manual (40 Study Hours)

Part 2 – Virtual Training (Approx. 8 hours)

Part 3 – Fundamental Training (6 consecutive days, 52 hours of classroom/clinic training)

3 days of clinical education with multiple procedures on live models
2 days of classroom/theoretical education
1 day of Beauty Biz 101 – getting your career started properly

Taking on your first client can be risky without the proper education and training. Over the course of our time together, you will gain the knowledge and experience to feel confident working with your first – and potentially lifelong – clients.
