The reasons Salt Lake City artists
choose to train in Houston
AMA Academy is the most recognized PMU training brand in America. Here's why thousands of artists from Utah and beyond travel to Houston for their certification.
Master Instructor Lily Thien

America's Most Recognized PMU Academy
5,000+ certified artists, featured in Medium, US Insider, Top Rated Local, and BBB. When your certificate says AMA, clients and employers recognize it.
$500 Travel Credit for Salt Lake City Students
Out-of-town students receive a $500 reimbursement on the first day of class — designed to offset flights, hotels, and Uber rides for Salt Lake City-area artists.
