This course includes 3 days of training using the Zoom video conferencing platform. Students can communicate and interact with the instructor which is a huge benefit and difference from online training that uses only pre-recorded videos that someone watches on their own time.

We always recommend live, in-person training for the ultimate experience where students can come into a physical classroom, practice hands-on, and in-person. However, our hybrid online training class is a great alternative for students who can’t travel to Connecticut to attend our live training and we’ve created a curriculum that is dedicated to ensuring students still feel confident about the materials and techniques.

Yes, you can! Our course guarantees that students can take clients right after. However, we always suggest to our students that they dedicate time to additional practice on models first before actually taking official clients.

No previous training or knowledge is required and every course is delivered with a low student to instructor ratio to provide the highest possible standard of training.

Licensing requirements vary by state and town regulations. It’s best to check with the location where you live/work. Please contact your local health department for licensing rules to practice in compliance in your area.

The potential returns you can generate by offering scalp micropigmentation as a stand-alone treatment, or by adding it to your clinic’s existing treatment list, are very attractive. The price you can charge depends on the type of treatment that’s required. Artists who have attended the Micropigmentation Academy micropigmentation school charge an average of $1,000 – $1,200 for a transplant scar cover-up. That goes all the way up to around $3,500 for an individual who has very little hair and requires more extensive treatment. The majority of customers with male pattern baldness who need work on the hairline, top, and side of their scalps typically spend $1,600 – $3,000.

Treatments usually take around 3 – 4 hours for the first session and 2 – 3 hours for the second session. If you perform just 2 treatments a week at an average treatment cost of $2,000, you could earn $4,000 dollars a week and over $200,000 a year.
