Our mission is to train career-minded professionals with a discerning eye for beauty and who seek a future in permanent makeup and microblading - among the fastest growing areas in the beauty industry. Julie Michaud, our Founder and Lead Instructor, is all about teaching women how to accentuate their true natural beauty. She founded her first makeup studio in 1997 after encountering women with drawers full of makeup and tools that they didnt know how to use and others who werent quite sure how to work around medical issues like cancer, alopecia, trichotillomania or Bells palsy. She trained in and started performing micropigmentation (permanent makeup) in 2002 and has been a leader in the field ever since. After 25 years in the industry she opened Prettyology as Bostons first beauty lab, now one of the largest micropigmentation / permanent makeup centers in the country. Julie opened Prettyology Micropigmentation Academy after recognizing that many practitioners werent getting the foundational or hands-on experience that they needed to perform these services competently, confidently and successfully. She felt compelled to not only practice micropigmentation, but to also teach to ensure that proper knowledge and techniques are flourishing. Julie has trained and mentored no less than seven Best of Boston award winning artists and estheticians and is herself a nine-time winner of the prestigious award. She is a Certified Micropigmentation Instructor and Fellow of The American Academy of Micropigmentation and a Member of The Society of Permanent Cosmetic Professionals. We are training partners with Nouveau Contour USA, Tina Davies Professional, Membrane Post Care, Vicky Martin Method, and TattooRemoov88. These combined efforts solidify our credentials at the intersection of technique, innovation and teaching. Our passion for the industry and innate ability to cultivate talent position us as your expert trainer, teacher, mentor and cheerleader.
