Protect Yourself From Illegal Training

Protect Yourself From Illegal Microblading

Are you considering getting permanent makeup done? Here is what you need to know before picking just anyone to perform the procedure. All permanent makeup and microblading shops must must be approved by the Louisiana Department of Health.

On February 5, the Louisiana State Board of Cosmetology issued a ruling via a declaratory order that microblading is permitted in its licensed facilities as long as the activity takes place in a dedicated room with a door and it is performed by a department (LDH)-registered operator and under the auspices of an LDH registration (facility).

Not Everybody Can Perform Microblading

“Microblading is a very capricious technique with many limitations that you have to take into consideration,” says Dina Basman owner of Brow Design by Dina. Lately, she has seen a growing number of clients who had poor microblading done to them and are now asking her to fix the problem. “It is literally becoming a serious epidemic problem,” she says.  Professionals who perform microblading or teach the technique have to be registered with the Louisiana Department of Health. “Please do your research,” she urges clients. If you are thinking about learning the technique, you will also have to make sure that your trainer has all her/his paperwork in order, otherwise, the training could be illegal.  If the facility that is responsible for issuing a certificate in microblading does not possess all required licenses and permits,  it will be waste of money and time because  your certificate will not be approved by the Louisiana Department of Health.
