Great experience taking the brows, lips, liner course. It was fast and knowledgeable and Niki is extremely personable. You also get follow up help from her whenever needed and she is always a text away with a quick response.

I recently trained with Niki for eyeliner & lip blush. Niki is an excellent educator. She’s very personable, thorough, and super knowledgeable. I felt completely at ease & confident with my model work. It was truly a rewarding experience & I highly recommend her for permanent make-up training!”

-Andrea

we looked at money...

but let's look deeper, how about purpose

Imagine how it would feel to wake up every day and make your living helping others.

Permanent Makeup is a life-changing and fulfilling service for both the client and artist!

I was highly interested in a career change especially in the pmu industry. I've looked and reviewed many and chose to go with niki@aboutfacestl she has been very sweet, thorough, informative, personal and my most favorite detailed!! It's a scary process not only learning a new trade but the hands on, Niki has done a excellent job with helping me learn to relax and breathe, take my time and stay out of my head. She is a wonderful teacher, she has so much educational information to give and always straight to the point. I highly recommended her for services and or schooling. Once I complete this round of my certification I plan to go back and expand my educational learning with her in more departments.

I was fortunate enough to choose About Face to train for my permanent makeup certifications.

At 54 years old, lacking knowledge in this field had me concerned...but Niki Dodson was a skilled, knowledgeable, trainer.

The About Face facility was incredible! The environment and ambiance in the training area was professional, while Niki had such a unique presentation of decor that set such a wonderful and vibrant setting to learn in.

I had taught school for overr 20 years, and I know a good 'teacher' when I see one. Niki Dodson IS an exceptional trainer, with the patience of Job!...lol. She treated my daughter and I with respect and imputed confidence in us through her professional teaching approach. I can guarantee, anyone who walks through those doors will immediately know they are in the perfect place to learn!
