Transform your passion
into a thriving career
Master microblading and permanent makeup with hands-on training, live models, and lifetime instructor support — in as little as 2 days.
Starting in 2026, all AMA classes will be hosted at our Houston office location. To make attending even easier, we're offering out-of-town students a $500 travel credit, applied on the first day of class. Spots are limited, so we encourage you to register early to secure your seat. Please note: All tuition fees are non-refundable but transferable.
Advanced techniques that
command higher rates
Most microblading academies stop at the foundational technique. AMA Academy trains you across the full PMU spectrum — from classic microblading to the four advanced services that today's highest-earning artists offer.
Nano Brows
Ultra-fine machine hair-stroke technique. The most natural-looking brow result currently available — and the technique clients increasingly request by name.
View Nano Brows →Ombré Brows
Soft powder-fill machine shading. Longer-lasting than microblading and works on a wider range of skin types — one of the highest-margin services in PMU today.
View Ombré Brows →Lip Blush
Pigment color, definition, and symmetry into the lips — a service in heavy demand from clients who want a polished daily look without daily lipstick.
View Lip Blush →3D Areola
Reconstructive 3D areola tattooing for post-mastectomy clients. A medical-adjacent specialty with limited national supply and meaningful, well-compensated work.
