THE AAC DIFFERENCE
YOU HAVE OPTIONS.
HERE'S WHY AAC IS DIFFERENT.
Many places offer permanent makeup classes, but at AAC, it’s our experience, personal attention, and ongoing support that truly set us apart.
01
WE’VE BEEN HERE A LONG TIME.
With over 20 years in the industry and nearly a decade teaching, we understand how techniques evolve, industry standards shift, and what new artists face once class ends.
02
SMALL CLASSES. PERSONALIZED ATTENTION.
We keep our class sizes small on purpose, so you have plenty of chances to ask questions, get instructor feedback, and grow your skills in a supportive space.
03
YOU LEARN BY DOING.
Reading about a technique won’t make it click — that’s why AAC focuses on demonstrations, hands-on exercises, and guided practice to help you truly learn by doing.
04
IT’S MORE THAN JUST TECHNIQUE.
Knowing a procedure is just part of becoming a true professional artist. We also cover consultations, client expectations, aftercare, photography, pricing, and real business know-how.
05
WE’RE STILL HERE AFTER CLASS.
Your questions don't have to stop when training ends. AAC stays by your side, offering guidance and support as you apply what you’ve learned.
06
KEEP PRACTICING WITH US.
If you're a qualifying graduate looking for more practice, model experience, or feedback, AAC offers optional Guided Practice Clinics. These are separate, paid sessions designed to keep your skills growing.
WE'RE NOT ABOUT BEING THE FASTEST TO HAND YOU A CERTIFICATE. WE'RE HERE TO BUILD YOU A STRONGER FOUNDATION FOR EVERYTHING THAT COMES NEXT.
Whether you're just starting out or sharpening your skills, take a look at the programs and opportunities AAC has to offer.
BEYOND THE CERTIFICATE
YOUR TRAINING DOESN'T HAVE TO BE
THE END OF YOUR LEARNING.
Certification lays the groundwork. True confidence grows with repetition, experience, and feedback. That’s why AAC provides Guided Practice Clinics—optional chances for qualifying graduates to get extra hands-on practice after completing their certificate training.
01 MORE HANDS-ON REPETITIONS
Keep growing your techniques through extra practice that fits your training and experience.
02 INSTRUCTOR FEEDBACK
Get guidance, technique insights, and helpful feedback as you keep sharpening your skills.
03 BUILD EXPERIENCE & CONFIDENCE
Find the right opportunities to gain more model experience, refine techniques, and build your portfolio.
Already certified but want extra time to hone your skills? Guided Practice Clinics offer qualifying grads a chance to keep developing with AAC’s support.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION: Guided Practice Clinics are optional and separate from certificate training. Additional fees apply. Participation and scheduling depend on your eligibility and AAC’s review. Specific procedures and live-model opportunities aren’t guaranteed.
MEET THE ACADEMY
NEARLY A DECADE OF EDUCATION.
BUILT ON TWO DECADES OF EXPERIENCE.

Since our start, AAC has welcomed over 1,000 graduates and keeps growing, adapting programs to meet today’s artist’s needs. We emphasize practical learning, small class sizes, and support that lasts long after class ends.

INVEST IN YOUR EDUCATION
YOUR GOALS. YOUR TRAINING.
YOUR PAYMENT OPTIONS.
Choosing the right professional training is a big step. AAC offers several payment choices so you can find one that fits your situation and enrollment plans.
01
PAY IN FULL
This is a simple option for students who want to pay tuition upfront.
You can complete your tuition payment following AAC’s enrollment and payment policies.
02
SWEETPAY FINANCING
Check out third-party financing through SweetPay where it’s available.
Financing options and terms come from the provider and depend on your qualifications. Approval isn’t guaranteed, but we’re here to help you explore.
03
AAC PAYMENT ARRANGEMENTS
For those who qualify, AAC offers payment plans for certain training programs.
Availability, deposit requirements, payment schedules, and terms are set by AAC and require approval before you can enroll. Not all programs or applicants meet the criteria.
THE RIGHT TRAINING IS AN INVESTING IN YOUR SKILLS, YOUR DEVELOPMENT AND YOUR NEXT CHAPTER.
Curious about your options? Head over to our Financing page to discover more about payment methods, deposits, and what you need to enroll.
Financing and payment arrangements depend on eligibility, approval, and applicable terms. While AAC supports you, third-party financing approval isn't guaranteed. Deposits and deadlines for programs can vary.
YOUR TRAINING. YOUR PACE. YOUR GOALS.
Not everyone comes to AAC with the same experience, and we don't believe everyone should have to follow the same path.
Some students are completely new to permanent makeup. Others have experience and want to expand their skills.
That's why we keep our classes small: typically one to three students, with one-on-one training available in some cases.
Every certificate program has its own training requirements, but your overall learning journey can be customized. Some students train with us for a focused week. Others choose to continue learning over several weeks or months through additional courses and optional practice opportunities.
We're not cutting corners or reducing the education. We're simply giving students more flexibility in how they learn.
All AAC certificate programs welcome beginners and experienced artists, with instruction adapted to each student's background and goals.
CLASSES AVAILABLE MONTHLY BY REQUEST
We offer training every month, with dates coordinated around student interest and instructor availability. Most classes take place Monday through Friday, and weekend training may be available by request.
