For qualified nurses
For qualified dental hygienists
An intensive master course in medical permanent makeup. Top artists in Korea teach you directly, in classes of no more than two.
Careful teaching tailored to each student
Enough hands-on practice to build real confidence
Classes of no more than two students
Why our academy
From the trip out to graduation, and on to how you will work afterwards. The whole path is laid out in view.
Classes of no more than two, taught one to one, so you take on Korean permanent makeup technique in a short, focused block.
A practising, nationally qualified top permanent makeup artist from Korea teaches every session.
It does not stop at practice. You work on real models, so you see the whole path through until the technique is yours.
After the final assessment and the model treatments reviewed once you are home, we issue your diploma (certificate of completion).
We support you into work at a partner medical institution, and set out what working life looks like after you graduate.
Before you decide
Questions we are actually asked by nurses moving into permanent makeup.
I am a complete beginner — will I manage?
One to one, in a small class, so you really learn.
Your instructor teaches you one to one, so you can pick up the technique even in a short time. The curriculum is rearranged around the parts you find hard, so beginners can take the course with confidence.
I cannot take a long block of leave
You can split the course.
A single course can be taken across several visits — a three-day course over two trips, a five-day course over three. Some students take the course while continuing to work as nurses.
How do I find somewhere to work?
We provide support into work.
BROW DE MAIN ACADEMY works in partnership with TAKE1 Inc. and supports graduates into work. We can set out how working at a partner medical institution would look for you.

Technique stays with you in proportion to what your hands have learned, not to the hours you sat and listened. That is why this course gives you more time with your hands moving than watching. I want you to go home with technique you can use from that same day.

Ask us on InstagramAfter graduation
After graduating you can work at a partner medical institution, adding permanent makeup to a second source of income that draws on your nursing qualification. Not only what you enjoy or find meaningful, but a way of working you can realistically sustain — that is what sets BROW DE MAIN ACADEMY apart.
Income that does not rest on permanent makeup alone
For graduates
The machines, pigments and needles used in class can be ordered from our online store for graduates. Because you carry on with the same tools, you can start treating with the feel you built in class.
The store is open to graduates only.
From graduates
Because I could practise until 19:00 after the day’s class ended, I got what I had learned into my hands the same day. Having someone close enough to ask the moment I got stuck made a real difference.
Permanent makeup was completely new to me, but the steps ran from rubber pads to mannequins to models, so I never felt left behind. They focused on the left-right balance I struggled with.
It was hard to take a long block of leave, so being able to split the course settled it for me. I could ask questions in Japanese between trips, so I never felt I had lost ground.
Questions
Yes. If you hold a nursing qualification, or are a dental hygienist (lips only), the course is built so that you can start from the basics with no experience. We work at your pace and level, so please do not worry.
Students who complete the designated course and receive a diploma are supported into work at a partner medical institution.
Permanent makeup in Japan requires a medical or nursing qualification and the structure of a medical institution. After you graduate, we set you up to treat under a partner medical institution.
We help in Japanese with choosing flights and accommodation and working out how long to stay, so you can prepare even if this is your first training trip abroad. We do not make bookings on your behalf.
Course fees are JPY 400,000 for the lip course, JPY 600,000 for three days, JPY 700,000 for four days and JPY 1,000,000 for five days, all excluding tax. Flights and accommodation are not included. There is a 10% pair discount when two apply together.
We remain available for questions in Japanese after you finish. As well as help buying consumables once you are home, we support you into work at a partner medical institution.
