2-Day Microshading Training Course at Micropigmentation Academy
Master the art of creating soft, gradient brows using advanced machine microshading techniques.
This 2-day intensive training is perfect for beginners or beauty professionals looking to offer one of today’s most in-demand permanent brow services.
Microshading is a versatile brow technique suitable for all skin types, especially sensitive or oily skin, thanks to its smaller, gentler incisions that deliver more stable, long-lasting results. Using a stippling method, it creates soft, pixel-perfect brows with a natural finish, avoiding the harsh, drawn-on look. This approach is also less invasive, allowing for faster healing and minimal side effects, while offering the lasting convenience of permanent makeup so clients can enjoy beautiful brows with little to no daily maintenance.
⚠ Please Note: This course focuses solely on microshading and does not include hair stroke training. For hair strokes, see our 6-Day Fundamental Machine Strokes Course.

Frequently Asked Questions
Microshading is a semi-permanent eyebrow enhancement technique that uses a machine or manual tool to deposit pigment into the upper dermal layer of the skin, creating a soft, powdered, gradient effect. Unlike Microblading, which mimics individual hair strokes, Microshading results in a filled-in, makeup-like brow with a shaded appearance that works well for all skin types—especially oily or sensitive skin.
The treatment is typically done with a single or multiple-point needle configuration, often using a digital machine for better control and precision. The pigment is implanted in a stippling or shading pattern, giving brows a fuller, more defined shape tailored to the client’s unique facial structure and preferences.
A common misconception is that Microshading is just another term for an eyebrow tattoo. It’s not. An eyebrow tattoo is performed using an electric tool that permeates deeper into the skin to create permanent brows. Microshading implants pigment onto the surface layer of the skin so the color will fade, typically over 12-18 months. This is a big plus for clients who are anxious about getting a permanent brow, and for Microshading practitioners who can treat their clients time and time again. There’s also no need for a heavy and expensive tattooing machine or the lengthy training that’s required to become an eyebrow tattooist.
Why Clients Love Microshading
Soft, natural, or makeup-ready brows with minimal downtime
Suitable for all skin types (especially oily skin where Microblading may not hold well)
Less invasive and more comfortable than traditional tattoos
Results fade gradually, giving clients flexibility over time
Microshading offers brow artists a reliable, customizable, and in-demand service that doesn’t require the heavy equipment or licensing of traditional tattooing—making it a top choice for beauty professionals entering the world of cosmetic tattooing.
As one of the leading microblading schools in the United States, we are dedicated to offering the highest quality training at the best possible price. Maintaining a low student to teacher ratio is a key part of that commitment, as is giving all of our students access to the best tools, products, and post-training support from their tutors.
Microshading is an in-demand treatment which can provide an excellent living for those who complete our training course. Rates for Microshading sessions average around $400 – $900 for a treatment that lasts up to 2 hours. That means even if you only see one client a day, you could expect to earn up to $5,000 per week.
Licensing requirements vary by state and town regulations. It’s best to check with the location where you live / work. In order to receive a Micropigmentation license in Connecticut, you will be required to first complete 2000 hours. We offer apprenticeship options through Micropigmentation Academy to earn those hours. Please call for more information.
