Eyebrow specialists shape, control, and manage a customer’s brows using a variety of techniques such as waxing, threading, and plucking in salons and beauty management establishments. Attending beauty school and taking classes on brow shaping and grooming can help you become an eyebrow specialist. After finishing your education, you can apply for regional beautician certification and work in a salon or waxing studio.
The shape of a person’s brows can frame their face and dramatically alter their overall appearance. Many people visit a brow specialist on a regular basis to groom and maintain their brow appearance. As people turn to brow specialists for advice on what shape looks best on their face, you’ll need to be able to recognize appropriate eyebrow styles based on the customer’s appearance and preferences.
To become an eyebrow specialist, you’ll almost certainly need to take beautician training classes, as many states require that you complete a certain number of classroom training hours before receiving certification. Beauty colleges and aesthetics-based vocational programs offer training programs that include brow-specific instruction. When deciding on a beautician college to attend, consider the program’s cost, reputation, and job placement success after graduation. Some programs provide financial aid in the form of a loan to help with the cost of attendance.
Classroom instruction and actual supervised experience working with clients should be included in your training to become an eyebrow specialist. Most beauty schools have training salons attached, which offer discounted services to clients who are willing to let new beauticians practice their skills. The majority of the skills you’ll need to work will be learned through practice and observation of experienced brow specialists at work.
You should be able to obtain regional certification after completing a beautician training program and accumulating a certain number of hours working in a controlled customer-based environment. The certification required to become an eyebrow specialist is usually similar to that required to become a general beautician, but this can vary. After you become an eyebrow specialist, your certification usually needs to be updated after a certain amount of time, and it’s usually required to be on display at your place of business. You can start looking for a job at a salon once you have your certification. Your first job as an eyebrow specialist might be at a salon that offers a wide range of services to its customers, such as nail work, hair styling, and makeup application.
