*Successful completion of a 100 hour Foundations of Permanent Cosmetics Training may be necessary to perform any permanent/paramedical cosmetic procedure, including microblading, in your state. It is your responsibility to obtain rules & regulations for the state and/or municipality in which you intend to practice. 
*Advanced PMU courses are for students who have prior training in Permanent Cosmetics. 
This program is an entry level foundation course to become certified in Permanent Cosmetics. Our 100 hour program meets the guidelines and requirements of the Society of Permanent Cosmetics (SPCP) and American Academy of Micropigmentation (AAM). Out of the 100 hour program, 65 hours will be spent in class and approximately 35 hours will be home study. During the program, students will be learning theory, including, OSHA and CDC standards as pertaining to the field, color theory, morphology, business set up, advertising, legal forms, photography, consultation, skin anatomy, and equipment use.  The remainder of the time will be used for hands-on practice. It is our goal for students to perform 6 procedures (2 lip, 2 eyebrow, 2 eyeliner procedures). To ensure that you will have a model to practice on, please have your model(s)/volunteer(s) contact us to schedule their appointment. It is the student's responsibility to obtain models/volunteers.

After completing the course, students may choose to complete an Apprentice Program under The JHON-JHON Institute's supervision, during which students will complete an additional nine procedures (3 lip, 3 eyebrow, 3 eyeliner procedures), in order to be eligible to take the AAM Board Certification Exam. 

In the State of New Jersey and all regulated states, the student will be an approved Micropigmentation/ Permanent Cosmetics Practitioner upon completion of the Apprentice Program and passing the Board Certification Exam. Students who plan to work in the State of New Jersey are required to complete the Apprentice Program to work in this state. Every state follows their own regulations, and it is the student's responsibility to contact all of their state and local health agencies regarding the rules and regulations for permanent cosmetics in their area.

Students who plan to work in an unregulated state may choose to opt out of the Apprentice Program.

"I am a Certified and Licensed National Board Instructor and Examiner for The Jhon-Jhon Institute. It is crucial for your Permanent Cosmetics/ Micropigmentation professional to be licensed, certified and practice legally. There are so many reasons why states are regulated for tattooing and/or undergoing the regulation process. Consumer safety, bloodborne pathogens, cross-contamination, insurance & liability, EXPERIENCE, etc. to name a few. This is why there are Board Certified and Licensed Micropigmentation/ Permanent Cosmetics instructors like me out there! It is our responsibility to help and educate the people in this industry".     -Jhon-Jhon
