Melany Whitney helps to transform the novice into a professional, skilled, and knowledgeable practitioner in the application of permanent makeup. No previous skill or education is required to participate in the class.
Classes are limited to a maximum of five students per session with one facilitator on hand at all times. There is never any substitution of instructors. You will be trained by Melany Whitney herself.
Although you will be introduced to other implanting devices, Melany only teaches on the ten wrap coil machine, which is included in the course fee. Why a coil? Our philosophy is that if you can learn on the most challenging of machines, you can then use any machine. The coil has been the tool of choice for the professional tattooist for over 150 years. Why pay for expensive equipment when the original still performs best. It is also easy and inexpensive to use with the ability for the technician to easily repair.
Included with your machine are the clip cord, foot pedal, very conveniently sized power pack, and silver aluminum professional carrying case packed with all sorts of goodies, permanent makeup pigments, and supplies. This is the same equipment that Melany Whitney uses every day in her own permanent makeup practice.
