Why Travel to AMA

02

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.

03

$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.

FAQ

Salt Lake City student questions

Why are all classes in Houston now?
Starting 2026, AMA Academy consolidated every certification course at our Houston Training Center so every student trains directly with our master instructors, on the same equipment, with the same hands-on standards. To make travel easy for Salt Lake City students, we offer a $500 travel credit reimbursed on Day 1 of class.
How does the $500 travel credit work?
When you arrive on Day 1 of class, we reimburse you $500 via check or direct deposit — no receipts required. The credit is designed to offset your flight from SLC and hotel during your 2 nights in Houston.
How long is the flight from Salt Lake City?
Direct flights from SLC to Houston take approximately 3 hours. Houston has two airports — Bush Intercontinental (IAH) and Hobby (HOU) — both are within 30 minutes of our training center by Uber.
Where should I stay in Houston?
There are multiple comfortable hotels within 10 minutes of the training center. We'll send a curated list of recommendations (with student-discount codes when available) in your welcome packet after you register.
What's the cost?
The 2-day course is $3,000 paid in full at registration. After the $500 travel credit is reimbursed on Day 1, your effective cost is $2,500. Klarna and Afterpay let you split the tuition into interest-free installments at checkout.
Do I need to bring my own live model?
Yes — each student brings their own live model for Day 2 hands-on practice. If you can't find a model in advance, AMA will do our best to help locate one in Houston, but this isn't guaranteed. Most Salt Lake City students bring a friend or family member who's also interested in microblading services.
When will I receive my certification?
Your official Certificate of Completion is awarded after you have successfully performed the Microblading procedure on your own live model under instructor supervision — that's the moment you officially graduate as an AMA Microblading Artist.
What if I'm a complete beginner?
No experience required. We've trained complete beginners, licensed estheticians, tattoo artists, and PMU veterans — everyone goes through the same hands-on curriculum and graduates ready to perform Microblading professionally.
How do I register?
