Does NhiBrows Academy offer beginner PMU training?
Yes. The program starts from foundations — equipment, hand position, brow mapping, color theory — before guided practice on fake skin. You do not need to know how to draw or to have held a PMU machine before exploring the course.
What PMU techniques does NhiBrows Academy teach?
NhiBrows teaches five core techniques: Ombré Brows (Powder Brows), Nano Hairstrokes, Combo Brows, Lip Blush and Permanent Eyeliner. Each technique has its own page with details.

NhiBrows Studio & Academy is located at 8315 Lee Highway Suite #201, Fairfax, VA 22031. It serves Northern Virginia, Washington DC and Maryland (DMV).
Is training available in Vietnamese?
Yes. Classes are taught primarily in natural Vietnamese, combined with standard U.S. PMU English terminology (Ombré Brows, Nano Hairstrokes, Lip Blush, Permanent Eyeliner).
What should students know about Virginia PMU licensing?
PMU licensing, bloodborne pathogen certification, and other requirements depend on the jurisdiction where you practice. NhiBrows provides technical training, not legal advice. You are responsible for verifying the requirements that apply to you in Virginia before practicing.
Can nail technicians learn permanent makeup?
Yes. If you already work in beauty (nails, lashes, hair, skincare), your attention to detail and aesthetic eye can help you pick up PMU faster. However, PMU is a separate skill and should be learned properly from the ground up.
What is the difference between Ombré Brows and Nano Brows?
Ombré Brows (Powder Brows) use a PMU machine to layer fine pigment pixels for a soft-to-defined gradient brow. Nano Hairstrokes use a fine needle to create thin hair-like strokes that mimic natural brow hair for a more delicate result. The free guide explains both to help you choose a starting point.
