What our students say about us…
“This school has completely changed my life! I am 36 years old, a mother, and I work very late nights as a bartender. I really needed a change in my life and I was feeling very defeated. I honestly went to this school with no clue of what I was going to do or what the outcome would be. I learned so much, Sarah was an amazing instructor and even offered an internship to make her students more comfortable after classes ended. I am so grateful to Sarah and Anna for guiding me and teaching me the proper techniques in a sanitary way, I can tell that their clients really appreciate that. No matter how old you are, you can make a change for the better and because of this school I will be embarking on my own journey doing permanent makeup in my very own studio. I am forever grateful!”

“I completed the Advanced Eyebrow Fast track course and could not be happier! Every single staff member made sure that I had all the support I needed to be successful every step of the way. Anna made sure that I was able to complete all my assignments on time while in a different time zone on my honeymoon! She took time after hours to ensure I was able to complete my course and advance to the in-person portion. Sarah was very thorough during the hands-on training. She really made sure to give each student individual feedback multiple times throughout the day. The amount of improvement I saw from the first day to the third day was incredible. She is a freaking magician! I am so thankful for the ladies (interns included) at this school and the amount of care and attention to detail that they show their students and clients. I would highly recommend this business to anyone that was looking for permanent makeup education or services!”

“Extremely honored to have attended the PMU School of VA. I was recommended by a friend who informed me how wonderful this school was. And now I’m happy to share that my experience was amazing from the start to finish. Sarah is an amazing instructor, she’s definitely compassionate about the beauty industry and her hard work and dedication truly shows. This school has definitely exceeded my expectations. The curriculum that was taught in class was definitely relevant to the information you need to know to pass your board exam. I can proudly say that I have passed my exam with flying colors, thanks to Sarah and the rest of her team. I highly recommend this school to anyone that is pursuing a career in the PMU industry.”
— Miriam Soriano
“After learning from several instructors, Sarah has been the most knowledgeable and helpful by miles. I feel much more confident about my PMU ability, possible career and in all very satisfied with the overall course.”
— Brooke Vanclief | ABrookeBrow Beauty Studio
“I am so glad I found this school. Sarah is probably the best PMU instructor in the United States. I would highly recommend this PMU course to others. It was very useful.”
— Jihyeon Son | Esmé Esthetic Studio
“The past 6 weeks have been super challenging at times, but also some of the best times of my life! I have truly found a passion in permanent makeup over the past 6 weeks and learned so much. I cannot thank Sarah Rillon enough for not only being an amazing educator but also instilling confidence in me to do this! I knew this class would be a great business to get into but what I didn’t foresee was the personal growth it gave me in my life to feel like I have a purpose and a passion again!”
— Kristen Hytla | Brows by Kristen
“I cannot thank Sarah enough for everything! I have never met anyone like her. She is an amazing instructor, and she is also very genuine and has a beautiful soul. The 5 week Basic Brow Licensure Course was amazing.”
— Kristal Irizarry-Pena
“I’m so happy I attended the PMU School!! The course is very hands on and Sarah assures you are going to pass your state board exam. I love how the classes are small and you can have more one on one time with the instructor!”
— Rachel Martino
“I definitely had a positive experience and it made me actually want to expand my education into Master Permanent Makeup Artist and start a career.”
— Emily Brannon
“Loved the environment the instructors created and the overall connections I’ve made with each and everyone. I highly recommend their classes to anyone who would be interested in growing their knowledge in permanent makeup.”
— Tara Barrick
“My experience at the PMU School of VA was nothing less than excellent. I began this course with very little knowledge about permanent makeup other than what I have learned on social media or the internet. By the end of the course, I had learned a ton of information and felt comfortable with doing microblading and powder brow procedures. My instructor, Michell, was thorough with her teaching and live model demonstrations. She was there by my side during my model procedures which made me very comfortable. I would recommend this course to anyone interested in learning permanent makeup.”
— Danielle Johnson
“Michell was a great instructor, very patient and understanding. I really enjoyed my experience. Michell and all staff were professional leaving me confident that I have received the best education. I feel that I am fully prepared to go out and make PMU a career, with more practice of course!”
— Shirley Collins
“After not being in school for 9 years, you could say I had a little anxiety about going back. It definitely wasn’t easy, but my instructor Michell helped every step of the way! She made sure we had all of our questions answered, she had no issues going back over anything that we needed further help with. I can say she 100% helped prepare me to actually start practicing on my own clients! Even today I know if I ever need her to advise, she’s just a text away! 10/10 recommend <3”
—Kaitlyn Cook | KC Microblading
“I loved the PMU School. Michell Dao is an amazing instructor that look the time to ensure we grasp all concepts (theory and practical) and were comfortable. I felt extremely welcomed and happy to be a part of the class. I will be recommending this school to anyone interested in permanent makeup.”
—Brittani Payton
“I truly enjoyed my time at the PMU School of VA. I’m super grateful for all the knowledge I gained here. I’m even more so grateful for the knowledge, care and concern shown by Michell. Her knowledge base and professionalism are unmatched.”

“I had a better experience than I imagined I would prior to stepping foot in this classroom. Sarah is so thorough and really made me feel prepared to start a career in the PMU world. Both Anna and Sarah are so patient and informative and genuinely care about the education and success of their students. I can’t wait to come back and further my education with them. Hopefully I will be hearing about the Master PMU Course soon.”
—Meredith Hodges
“10/10 would recommend. Sarah and Anna are so helpful and knowledgeable. I love that the course was based off real world experiences and not solely textbook information. I feel as if I have learned a lot in a few short weeks and I am confident to start my PMU journey.”
—Amie Arsenault
“I loved my overall experience here. The online theory portion was well organized. Hands on training was definitely my favorite part of class because I am a visual learner. The instructors are kind, respectful, fun, and 100% are about their students. You are not going to find another place like PMU School of VA. Truly remarkable staff.”
—Hadelyn Vega Pina
“Sarah and Anna were great teachers who paid attention to detail, they have a way of breaking things down to make the information as easy as possible to learn. Sarah is very patient with her students and she puts a lot of thought into how she presents the material. She has fun with the class and takes pride in the way she teaches, works and engages with clients. Anyone would be lucky to learn from or receive PMU services from the ladies of the PMU School VA.”
—Hannah Gallegos
“I was skeptical before taking this course but very quickly I was so glad I found PMU School of VA. It is such a great learning environment and everyone here really wants you to learn and succeed, and push you to do what you are capable of doing. I am positive I learned more here in one course than I ever would have on my own or at another school. You definitely get way more than you pay for here.”
