Certified Permanent Cosmetics Instructors Are An Elite Group.
I am a National Board Certified Permanent Cosmetic Master Instructor, a National Board Certified Permanent Cosmetic Master Artist, Winner in the International Permanent Cosmetics Masters Expo Competition, Florida Licensed Cosmetologist and Florida Licensed Clinical and Medical Esthetician. The actual number of permanent cosmetic instructors who are fully licensed and certified instructors is less than 40 in the United States. This certification allows me to offer instruction and to certify others in this exciting field. Over the past several years, Dermagraphics has become an extremely popular new career opportunity! With accomplished technicians charging anywhere from $300 to $1800 per procedure. My professional background includes work in make up design, cosmetic application, electrology, cosmetology, laser hair removal and much more. I have more than 26 years experience in the beauty industry. Please see my credentials for further information.
Permanent Cosmetic Training Schools – Hours/Fees
Many permanent cosmetic training courses available from institutions, vocational schools and private individuals offer only x amount of training hours for x amount of dollars. My private classes are a 1 to 1 instructor/student ratio. When you train with me I provide you with personal one on one education in all areas of the permanent cosmetic industry.
I am not a one day, three day, five day, wham bam thank you ma’am, cosmetic certification for big money instructor !!

My fee is $4800.00 which includes all the supplies you will need during training.

All training is conducted in my personal studio on an individual basis in a relaxed and comfortable setting for both you and my clients. You will observe cosmetic procedures and then get hands on training.
