| Cheryl believes that permanent makeup services is a combination of art and science -- that learning is a process, and that a one's level of confidence after can be measured and linked to the quality of training received. (c) |
| | It is a rewarding experience to provide your clients with the "lasting beauty and wonderful convenience of permanent cosmetics." (c) 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, 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 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. |
In 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. A 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 being performed. 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 DVDs introduces each student to the handling of the SofTap (R) tools. Exercises for handling them is reserved for the in-class phase of training on the first day of class. 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. Because SofTap (R) is easy to learn, the in-class phase is 4 days. The streamlined curriculum is aimed turning out students who are entry-level permanent cosmetic artists. A Certificate is awarded after class. Another class option for training is the Master's Program. It is a private 2 week class that is designed to give students a higher level of proficiency in providing SofTap permanent cosmetic procedures before our departing company. Twenty-four (24) procedures are performed by the student under direct and indirect supervision. This class is for the person who wants to receive a greater orientation to the business, art and science of providing SofTap TM Permanent Cosmetics before taking the leap of independence, achieving a greater level of proficiency of performance before leaving the protection of being under my wings and taking wings of her own, so to speak. It is truly the ultimate in SofTap TM Permanent Cosmetics Training! A start-up kit is provided with this session also and the student may receive any permanent makeup procedures desired for themselves, time permitting. | If you have the desire and aptitude to learn this professional skill, call me at Lasting Impressions with any questions that you may like to ask.

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! |

Rejoice in all your marvelous strengths of mind and body. Be glad for the virtues that are yours, and pat yourself on the back for all your many admirable achievements. Keep positive. Concentrate on that which makes you happy, and build yourself up. Stay nimble of heart, happy of thought, healthy of mind, and well in being. " Janet A. Sullivan (via Mom)
| Cheryl, I can't begin to tell you how much I have thoroughly enjoyed your class. Your vast knowledge and expertise will serve me well with future clients. You have the patience of Job and convey this in your teaching. Thank you so much, Linda L. Moore, R.N. |
The test (AAM) was easy. I'm almost positive I passed. RoseMarie commented to me that I did good work, thanks to you. I also met a woman there from Mass.( forgot her name) that trained at your place. She and I were the first to complete the test. I was out of there within three hrs. Thanks for everything YOUR THE BEST. Karen Dear Cheryl, Jusst wanted to let you know how pleased and comfortable I felt with my training I received from Lasting Impressions. The way the course is set up to allow students to be able to read the manual and take skills tests at ome at their own pace is a definite plus for someone like me who is already involved in a full-time career. Your communication and teaching skills are very good. Having the ability to make sure we have concepts and the SofTap techniques down in class are one thing, but the patience it must take to oversee students who are practicing those new skills on live models is a real feat in itself!! I was very glad you were so strict with our technique. Thanks, Cheryl, for putting so much effort into making sure we walked away with confidence and ability. Your "Doss Method" really works. Best Regards, Karen Loughrey
