FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
THE ANSWERS YOU NEED
I DON'T HAVE ANY EXPERIENCE WITH BEAUTY, OR MAKEUP, SHOULD I SIGN UP FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS?
Whether you want to sharpen your skills as a permanent makeup artist or are just getting started, Allie Yamaguchi will teach you everything you need to know to begin your career or give you a refresher so you can get started and thrive. If you love transforming faces and helping people get their confidence back, this is the perfect career for you.
​
DO I NEED AN ESTHETICS OR COSMETOLOGY LICENSE TO TAKE THIS TRAINING COURSE?
You do not need to be a licensed esthetician or cosmetologist to take a certification course for permanent makeup in the state of California or Tennessee. Although having additional background training with skin can be helpful, it is not required to take the course or perform the service.
DO I NEED TO DO ANYTHING ELSE TO PREPARE FOR THE TRAINING COURSE?
Before taking the course, check your local county health department for all tattooing license requirements. Allie Yamaguchi provides a certificate of completion but students are required to apply for a tattoo license in their own County/State to Legally perform this service. Students should also complete an online Bloodborne Pathogen training prior to the course. Your local health department has resources in compliance with your county. This will be covered in the course.
ARE WE REQUIRED TO BRING ANYTHING WITH US TO THE TRAINING?
Students are not required to bring anything additional to the training. We will provide lunch and beverages. If students wish to bring a notebook to take notes, that is optional. Please be sure to have the remaining balance for the course in cash. You will be issued a receipt after payment is collected.
IF I AM UNABLE TO TAKE THE COURSE, CAN I GET MY MONEY BACK?
All deposits are non-refundable. If a student is unable to make the training, they may transfer the deposit to a later training date. If the student fails to provide a 48-hour notice, their deposit will be forfeited, and a new deposit will be required to book a future training. If the student doesn't return to a group training, a 1:1 continuation will not be provided. The student will need to attend another group training and join in on the days missed. No refund will be given.
