THE BUSINESS.

The Market is expanding. As the procedure gains popularity, the demand for quality artists and clinics is growing. Average procedure prices range from $1,000 to over  $5,000 , and with a consistent market of continuously balding male and females , this market will continue to grow. This is an incredible procedure for existing PMU artists, estheticians, barbers or anyone in the beauty industry to add as a service. This also makes an amazing new career path for the passionate individual.

 

UNIQUE TO STEVEY G. TRAINING

This is unique to our training and will teach you how to treat every case that comes to your practice.

This is a common topic left out in most trainings. Understanding your tools is extremely important. After working with Microbeau doing product development since 2018 Steven has an in depth understanding on the tools, we use for SMP procedures from machines, needles, power supplies and pigments.
