Launch Your Beauty Career with a Permanent Makeup Academy

Tired of a career that doesn't fit your life, or dreaming of one that actually excites you?

If you’ve been searching for a beauty career you can be proud of, one that lets you build your own schedule and help people feel more confident every single day, a beginner PMU course might be exactly what you’ve been looking for.

Galax Beauty Academy can be the starting point of this transformative journey.

Our permanent cosmetic makeup training program, led by Thu Tran, a Virginia-licensed cosmetic tattoo artist and instructor, is designed specifically for people like you who are ready to turn passion into purpose.

Our Permanent Cosmetic Makeup Training Process

Every student begins with the fundamentals, color theory, facial mapping, skin anatomy, sanitation, and Virginia’s cosmetic tattoo laws and regulations before progressing to hands-on technique training.

From there, we build your skills through extensive practice on training materials, then move on to live models under direct instructor supervision. In this way, our permanent makeup academy helps you develop solid technical abilities and a real portfolio at the same time.

Beyond technique, the program covers client consultation, photography, business development, marketing, and pricing, so you graduate ready to build a sustainable career, not just perform a procedure.
