Semi-permanent makeup procedures, sometimes referred to as PMU (permanent makeup) is expanding throughout India and the demand for skilled technicians has never been higher. Semi-permanent makeup itself has evolved from its primitive roots. Current trends and procedures can accomplish a wide variety of results that clients are seeking.

An investment in your staff will not only pay for itself but can produce a positive return in a very short period. The same also applies to individuals who are already in the beauty industry and freelancers.
