If you’ve ever been mesmerized by the transformative magic of perfectly sculpted eyebrows, perhaps a career as an eyebrow beautician might just be your calling. In the world of beauty and aesthetics, eyebrows are not just considered the frames of the face; they are often the artwork itself. Crafting perfect brows is not merely a matter of aesthetics but a form of artistry that requires precision, creativity, and technical skill.

Lauren Cruz, an award-winning brow artist and the visionary behind The Body Department Medical Spa, has mastered this art over her 13-year career. Lauren’s journey from a passionate beautician to an expert in eyebrow beautification is an example for anyone aiming to carve out a career in this niche yet flourishing field.

Lauren has some key insights for beauty enthusiasts looking to start a career in brow aesthetics. 

Starting at the Roots: Basic Training

Every eyebrow beautician’s journey begins with mastering the basics. According to Lauren, fundamental skills like brow shaping and waxing form the core of any brow-related service. “It’s essential to understand the basics of facial anatomy and brow design before moving onto more complex techniques,” she notes.

But why start with waxing? Lauren believes it’s the quickest way to see dramatic results and gain client trust. “Once you artistically transform someone’s brows with a simple wax, you’ve likely got a client for life,” she says.

Advancing Your Skills: Beyond the Basics

Once the basics are nailed down, the next step is to explore advanced techniques. It is then time to delve into techniques like microblading and tinting. “These skills aren’t just about beauty; they’re about understanding the science of eyebrows,” Lauren explains.

Microblading is a method of creating semi-permanent eyebrow tattoos with fine strokes to mimic natural hairs. Meanwhile, tinting requires precision and a deep understanding of color theory to enhance the natural eyebrow color effectively

The Business of Brows: Setting Up Shop

Of course, being a skilled eyebrow beautician isn’t just about handling a tweezer with finesse; it’s also about knowing how to manage your business. “You can be the best at what you do, but if you don’t know how to market yourself or manage your finances, you’ll struggle,” Lauren points out.

In this pursuit, working under experts can offer invaluable insights. Gaining experience under those who have already carved a name in the industry can help you create a business plan specifically tailored for the industry.

Keeping Up with Trends and Technologies

Staying updated with the latest trends and technologies is crucial in a field as dynamic as beauty. Lauren emphasizes the importance of continuous learning. “The tools and techniques we used a decade ago have evolved. We now have more precise tools and advanced cosmetic formulations that can enhance our work,” she says. For professionals in this industry, ongoing education is not just an option; it’s a necessity.

Embarking on Your Journey

Lauren’s parting advice for those eager to embark on this career path is to stay passionate and patient. “It’s a career that requires artistry, precision, and people skills. But most of all, it requires passion. If you love what you do, your clients will see it in your work.”

Her specialized training courses at Lauren Cruz Training Studio are a gateway for many to start their journey in the world of eyebrow artistry. From basic brow waxing to advanced cosmetic techniques, Lauren has crafted a curriculum that promises to educate and inspire.

Her one-on-one training courses include PMU techniques, tinting, and basic and advanced waxing. Trainees will be able to practice on live models with hands-on intensive. Besides that, Lauren also offers virtual courses that allow trainees to learn about eyebrow tinting, lamination, and styling from the comfort of their homes.
