I was crying because I was so upset to be leaving. Having 4 days here is quite a powerful thing. I had every emotion going. I just want to get started. 5 Months on … It has been amazing! ” … Every person I’ve done I’ve put on Facebook and then they share it and their friends share it. I am just so busy now.”
My goal was to work for myself and have more quality time with my daughter, be my own boss, work as hard as I want, be around more for my friends & family and just to have more balance in life. I was always too frightened to make that change. The goal was to leave my job within a year of training. I did it well under the year. It worked and it was amazing.”
The week’s been perfect. It exceeded all of my expectations HUGELY. Worth every single penny and every day you can see that you guys are trying to get the best out of me as well …”
After 8 months doing permanent makeup, I have the staff doing all the lower end treatments now so my life is getting a lot easier.”
A number of things drove me to join the permanent makeup industry. I wanted to have my own business, I’ve got a family, 3 children and I wanted to earn a decent amount whilst spending less time working.”

Recognised by Professional Beauty Magazine as taking ALL top 5 slots …
…in the list of beauty treatments with the largest profit margins and best value for money in regards to training courses, across the entire beauty industry.
And Taking Charge of Your Own Future Success …
Setting up a permanent makeup business has very low setup and on-going costs and you can start earning immediately after your training.
For You & Your Family …
Why continue to work a bog standard 9-5 job if it doesn’t reward, inspire, challenge or motivate anymore. You’d have much more needed “me time” to relax, kick back and simply enjoy that work-life balance that everyone craves yet few manage to achieve.
Per Treatment Within Your First 6-12 Months …
Regardless of your current background or experience. In a few months from now you could be cutting back on your hectic lifestyle and building your business and a clientele that will on average pay you between £250-£500 per Treatment, (taking approx 1-2 hours), for your specialised services.
Enhancing Your Own Self Esteem …
You’ll be helping people look and feel like themselves, only prettier and more confident.
I wanted to do something different, a new challenge for me and something that I think I will really enjoy. Katy’s there the whole time, you can’t go wrong. I can’t believe how much I’ve learned.”
I work 3 days a week now and am doing about £8,000-£9,000 a month for 3 days a week. My average week, when I was just doing beauty, was £500, but now I’m on about £2,000 a week and this is just my first year.”
The reason I chose you, was because you cared. I phoned up and you were on the phone for about 40 minutes explaining all the processes etc. where as with other companies I got, ‘that’s the brochure, there you go. Off you go.”
I didn’t think I’d be any good at it. Katy explains things in a way that makes it very easy to learn it. The course has been brilliant and is the best thing I’ve ever done. Its been everything and more, like a home from home. I’d recommend it one hundred and fifty thousand percent!”
I wanted the best training I could get…After looking into the competition I found Katy’s company was the best. I’m amazed, she’s a genius. I’ve got around 40 people lined up treatments. Katy’s so amazing, she’s so patient, had time to teach me everything and just a really lovely person as well & so easy to talk to… She really encourages you every step of the way as well.”
I’ve learned so much. Katy’s a Superwoman. How she does everything that she does, I have no idea. She’s just amazing, absolutely brilliant. I’d recommend it to anybody. It’s not like any other course. If you want to learn permanent makeup then do it here because she is a guru. She knows everyone, everything, she’s done so much and she’s the person to learn from.”

I think I’m picking it up. It’s alright, clients seem happy, I’m happy with it. From my first Facebook update, I’ve already got clients lined up. Katy’s training has been great. She is very respectful. I know if I mess anything up she’ll fix it. 🙂 “
I was surprised at how good the treatment looked. A little bit daunting at first but if you just commit to it and take control. Not wearing makeup myself its surprising the difference you can make to someone’s face. The training has exceeded my expectations I would definitely recommend it.”
I had my brows done by two technicians that had trained with Katy years ago. It inspired me so much, I’ve researched a very long time, and there wasn’t any other option really. It was always going to be you.”
My job has way too much paperwork and it’s too emotional. I’m quite an artistic person and I enjoy doing people’s makeup. As soon as I walked in here, Katy sat me down and made me feel so welcome. I’ve really enjoyed training here and would recommend it to anyone thinking of learning permanent makeup.”
The nations most celebrated permanent makeup artist and trainer.
Katy Jobbins, Multi Award Winning Industry Expert, Author,
Founder & Head Trainer of the Permanent Makeup Training Academy.
If you’ve come here looking at starting a career in permanent makeup then you’re in exactly the right place.
I’ve spent the last 10 YEARS as a Permanent Makeup Trainer. I was approached to become a trainer for paramedical tattooists at NHS cancer care after I had already built up 50 Successful permanent makeup CLINICS nationwide including London Harley street.
As a permanent makeup artist with over 12,000 HOURS tattooing experience I’ve been through everything you are about to go through and had great success – I’ll be there to hold your hand through the process and coach and mentor you to get from where you are right now to where you want to be.
My true passion is helping others discover and actualize their full potential both in permanent makeup and building a business. I have a great insight into people which contributes to my effectiveness in education, counseling and mentorship. I will help you engage with your clients beyond the mere superficial and create a deeper rapport.
My strength is in diagnosing problems and formulating solutions that spawn personal growth. As a trainer, my own sense of self is inextricably interwoven with that of others. I do have high but achievable standards. I want for others what I want for myself.
I genuinely want to help you succeed as I see my students as an extension of me. In this highly competitive industry I’ve always had a zero jealousy policy. It’s all about collaboration. Everyone’s a teacher. My enthusiasm for this career is infectious. You’ll be able to harness my passion for permanent makeup.
Anyone from any background can go and set up their own business in permanent makeup and I’ve spent the last 10 years proving that success can be achieved by anyone who wants it and is willing to work for it.
I’m obsessed with creating the next generation of permanent makeup artists. My intention is to help you become the best permanent makeup artist that you can be. I’ve packaged up my entire success journey and the process I went through into small manageable steps for others to follow.
How I Got Started In Permanent Makeup
Many Local and National Newspapers/Magazines & on Prime Time National TV.
Thailand is good for permanent makeup but I wanted to refresh my skills and learn more. I love that Katy trained around the world herself including Thailand. I love her story, she gave me more confidence. I feel calmer, I’m very tired but really happy. It’s been brilliant, I’m really excited & a lot more confident to get back out there.”
As a result of putting pictures of the dummy head and my first sets of brows online I had a response of 67 inquiries asking when, where, how much?”
I will always remember because of the way Katy taught me. The logic that was applied and the structure she applied was almost a formula to get the perfect eyebrow. The results are amazing.”
I was worried there were not enough clients out there….Tomorrow I have 7 booked in!”
I’ve been working heavily in the TV and Film industry. It’s a completely different environment. I was away on location for months on end. I couldn’t take my son as it’s 20 hour days. I can earn the same money in permanent makeup. If only I knew about this 18 years ago. I’d recommend this work to anyone in the film industry. It’s ideal to fill in the gaps. I’ve looked around for 3 years. I was very overwhelmed by Katy’s experience. Very professional. Her technique is natural, simple, not too scientific. Magical first day. I’ve learned loads. Her training is so unique.”
Katy just hits you with her own style, like a magic wand and you walk out feeling really confident. This is a refresher course I needed to do. I think that anyone who’s trained in the past can still learn more each time you come because Katy is constantly ongoing in her training. She’s constantly researching new machines & new needles and constantly learning. I have learned so much, I feel like I’m raring to go again.
I have learned 3 new brow techniques with Katy with a new machine that simplifies things so much. Katy gets straight to it and shows you the A, B & C, hands-on straight away which does wonders for the confidence.
I would definitely start with Katy because she’s got so much experience, had a whole bunch of people come from different backgrounds and retrain so she can definitely give you the right advice.”
It’s been absolutely amazing… Unbelievable actually. The one to one training drew me to your company and the amount of experience Katy has. The way you presented yourself was really straightforward. What you see is what you get. Other companies were not that straightforward. I am just thrilled that I made the right decision.
Katy really explains everything so perfectly. My course was greater than any expectations I ever had. I learned so much and would recommend you to anybody. I flew from Croatia and it was really worth the trip. You’ve taught me so much, not just about techniques, but about marketing and other stuff I didn’t even think I was going to learn.”

Courtney, 12 Month Update
I’m just waiting to hit the £10,000 mark.
Straight away as soon as I left the course, literally business was just amazing…if you have any problems or want to know anything then Katy will literally be at the end of the phone. If you text you get a reply back literally in minutes. That’s amazing in itself, just having that support behind you at the end.
Holly, 1st Day Training
With anyone else it would have been a different matter.
I didn’t do any research my mum did it all. Thanks very much for booking me to train here. It’s the 1 to 1 training, the intensity of learning and having all the best equipment. Katy’s so laid back she makes you feel so relaxed but I’m taking in so much.
Michelle, 3 Month Update
From just two clients and that’s before I’ve even started.
This has been the best year for me. I have made a lot of decisions but this has been by far the best one…you are always there, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Katy has always been great at reassuring me and honestly you are like my new family.
Zinny, 5 Month Update
I cried on the way home. I was just so sad to be leaving.
4 days here is such a powerful thing. A client of mine has been to a place in Harley Street and also someone who had had over 15 years experience and I was the third person to work on her. She said I’d done them the best.
Jane, Final Day’s Training
Katy just inspires confidence, there’s nothing I couldn’t ask.
Be prepared to learn. Your job is to be receptive to what’s been taught. She’s got a high expectation. It’s exhausting but inspiring. Katy just inspires confidence with her style of training, and I haven’t felt there was anything I couldn’t ask her. I already have about 14 clients lined up to do various treatments on them.
Amy, 8 Month Update
I’ve just been so busy. I love it. Don’t train anywhere else.
I’ve been setting up my business, building up a portfolio, setting up my website, I’ve been so busy it’s been bonkers. I love it, I don’t want to do anything else, I just want to tattoo peoples faces.
Emma, 3 Year Update
I’ve bought a new car. Everything on my tick list has been ticked off.
I love coming back here for my little visits and to do all the marketing. It keeps the momentum going and keeps me fresh and focused.
Clare, 6 Month Update
£100 tip because my client was so happy. The job keeps on giving.
I get to sleep in. I get to work as much as I want. I can’t wait for summer because this is how I think life is meant to be. Once you know what you want and you know that it’s this then just go for it. I wish I had done it years ago.
Gemma, 6 Week Update
I’m really busy. I’ve completed all my case studies.
It took me 3 weeks to get all 15 case studies done. I took about £1,200 – £1,400 in my first week. I’m charging £150 per client, but now I’m thinking my work’s looking really good. So I’m going to put my prices up.
Nadia, 2 Year Update
In banking I made such good money. I realised I could do this.
I’ve gone from full time bank manager to full time permanent makeup artist. Initially I was working evening and weekends with permanent makeup whilst still doing my full time job. But then I just got so busy I was always missing dinner. So I decided to take the plunge and go full time with permanent makeup.
Deborah, 6 Week Update
… because you are so good at the skill you give.
My case studies went fantastic. I’m looking forward to the 3 day marketing course to learning the skills of how to push myself even further on the business side.
Cauline, After 2 Days Retraining
Somewhere along the line I thought I still wouldn’t get it.
I feel it’s amazing and what’s really lovely, last night I couldn’t sleep properly, I was excited to come back. I was thinking about all the training I’ve done in my life and the studies I’ve done and this has been the best. So exciting. I’m grateful for the warmth and generosity you’ve shown me.
My background has been in foster caring for 12 years. I came across PM after a dog attacked my face. I had countless plastic surgeries and had all my own permanent makeup done. I liked what I had so much I decided I wanted to become a PM technician myself. It’s in my nature to help people. I wanted 1 to 1 training with Katy to really nail the techniques down.”
No beauty background, I was a school receptionist. It’s been amazing. I’ve got lots and lots of clients booked and loads came through recommendations from previous clients. I’ve got my own clinic now and a beauty therapist I worked on called to tell me that 2 excellent beauty therapists told her that my work was the best they had ever seen.
Exciting times…”
2 Months On: “I did permanent makeup because I had a passion for it and I wanted to earn more money in less hours. Straight away, as soon as I left the course, business has just been amazing. I’m working 3-4 days a week earning 5 to 6 times what I was earning before. My best month’s been £9500, just waiting to hit the £10,000 mark …”
It’s amazing now because I work on 4 or 5 clients a week, I get my mum to look after the children whilst I do clients and I plan all my appointments around my children & school hours and so I get to pick them up & drop them off every single day. If I was working full time I wouldn’t be able to do that.”

Before with the previous training company, the confidence was taken away from me. I just thought to myself I know I can do it but I just needed a company that was supportive. This training was absolutely amazing, now I’m totally confident about what I do whereas before I wasn’t!”
It’s been a thousand percent better. I was literally struggling to draw an eyebrow as I’d learned so many techniques with different pieces of equipment so I just couldn’t for the life of me get them to look like normal brows. Katy took me back to basics just both measuring and eyeballing way to get if perfect. She made it so much easier, I feel that now I know how it should look. You just don’t feel like you are training. It just feels like you are hanging out with a friend but she really does get everything through, and she is quite laid back with it but at the same time she’s making sure you are doing everything she’s taught. The girl knows her stuff.”
This training has exceeded my expectations. I thought I might come and still not get it. There’s a part of me that feels surprised that I got it. Last night I couldn’t sleep properly. I was so excited about coming in for more training. Its been challenging, learning new stuff and being creative. Your kindness, warmth, and generosities are very touching. It’s up there with the best training I’ve ever had in my life. I knew it would be useful but now I feel ready now and I CAN DO THIS. ….. Exciting times…”
“I’m a full-time flight attendant and although I thoroughly enjoy the job and lifestyle I was fascinated by permanent makeup. Over the past 18 months doing permanent makeup, I have struggled to keep up with the demand! Working my socks off over the last two years really has paid off. I bought my first flat and permanent makeup has been fundamental in doing that.”

I researched day and night. I was very worried I’d spend all this money. Your reviews were positive I thought it was too good to be true. I almost didn’t believe it. I turned up on the doorstep to check she was real. I thought it was all a bit fake. Then when I met Katy we got on so well. That’s what made my mind up.”
Just go for it. Kate is the best. I’ve looked around, and I really did look around. It took me 6 months to decide where to train and once I saw Kate I knew it was her. I would recommend her to everyone. I should be giving her some extra money for the patience she’s had with me. “
I saw a clip of her on youtube in an interview. I just really believe in her and thought she was similar to me. I found her quite an inspiration.”
After Watching Katy’s Story, the one where she talks about how she came into permanent makeup and where she started, and that I found so inspiring.
I watched it once all the way through, I made my mum watch it, I got my sister to watch it as well, and she said, ‘I can see in your face you want to go with her’. She was fighting the same battles I was fighting. Knowing that she is human and seeing what she has achieved. I watched Katy’s story & booked the next day.”
