| It is a rewarding experience to provide your clients with the "lasting beauty and wonderful convenience of permanent cosmetics." (c 2000) I teach professionals how to perform permanent cosmetic procedures using the SofTap (R) hand-method because it is the easiest method to learn; it is safe and most preferred by clients I've talked to who have had both the machine and hand method performed for them. The reason is that it is less uncomfortable, and the outcome is lovely. SofTap (R) is 100% disposable, too, which means cleanup is a snap, without spending time (time is money!) washing, scrubbing, soaking, drying, sterilizing in an autoclave, and buying additional needed supplies. The machine method equipment, itself, cannot be sterilized, so there is more to be concerned about with machines. If a backup tool is needed, the cost of a SofTap tool is a teensy fraction of the cost of any machine. Just pick out another pre-sterilized SofTap (R) hand-tool and you're immediately ready to go back to work again. "Friendly, warm and inviting environment for instruction and learning. Cheryl is very detail oriented. Above all, Cheryl is very professional. I would highly recommend this training for anyone wanting to get into the permanent makeup industry." Jackie Catlett, R.N. |
| TRAINING NOTES FROM CHERYL All Basic Training is now private, one-on-one training. Each student must already be engaged in the medical or beauty professions. It is a highly structured class, proven to secure successful entry level permanent makeup professionals. Basic Training is a private 100 hour class with 40 hours of home study prior to the start of 60 hours (6 days) class. Class fee is $4750 which includes everything needed for class plus a start up kit retailing at $500. The kit is to use after class is completed. Everything for the in-class phase is provided by Lasting Impressions. At least 10 live models will be seen by the trainee for permanent makeup applications. Trainees provide their own transportation and room and board. Please inquire for suggestions that may save you money with room and board if it is an issue for you. Cheryl is your mentor for as long as you have questions after class is complete. Advanced Training: Experienced permanent makeup professionals may inquire about their choice of training, whether it be supervised practice with live models performing brows, liner, lips, and/or specialized training such as areola repigmentation, hairstroke eyebrows, or perhaps you are a machine user and would like to learn the SofTap hand method of applying permanent makeup. The cost is $850 for the first day and $650 for each additional subsequent day of training. I can help you determine the number of days you will need to accomplish your goals. Notes On Training: I get to the bottom-line details of basic principles associated with providing services, such as infection control, color theory, makeup design, client management, marketing and business practices -- all in the home-study phase of the program. And then, in class, these principles are are discussed and reinforced at the beginning of the in-class phase, before trainees see live models. Practice work on practice material is reserved for the in-class phase and then live models are provided for real permanent makeup applications. At home the home-study student-package consists of a 177 page student manual authored by myself, with study questions at the end of each section and 3 DVDs that demonstrate procedures as I perform them. Students read, answer questions aimed at reinforcing the written material, and perform simple projects that develop the hand and the eye for color, design and facial morphology. The viewing of 3 DVDs introduces each student to the handling of SofTap (R) tools as I am observed performing eyebrows, eyeliner and lip color for live models. Students can expect homework to be assigned during the in-class phase. This is done on an individual basis and may consist of drawing, color theory exercises, and/or SofTap (R) tool exercises. The streamlined program is aimed at turning out students who are excellent entry-level permanent cosmetic specialists. A SofTap (R) Certificate is awarded after satisfactory completion of class. I am your mentor for as long as you have questions after your training period has ended. | If you have the desire and aptitude to add this professional skill to your menu of services, call me at Lasting Impressions 1-941-486-8039 with any questions that you may like to ask and get ready to join the SofTap® training program. Prerequisites: Students must qualify, by having a background in the medical, paramedical, beauty or tattooing industries. Hepatitis B (HBV) immunization is strongly advised, and a 4-hr Bloodborne Pathogens course is required prior to training. Hi Cheryl, Just a note to thank you so much for your wonderful class. Honestly, I never thought anyone would be able to teach me, or give me the confidence I would need to succeed. (Your models were great!) After class, the DVDs were like being there all over again. Your support, even after class has been so helpful. Many people promise the world, but you delivered, you gave the stars! Thanks so much! |
