Microblading is a manual method of permanent makeup that replicates the look of hair growth in the eyebrow. The results can last anywhere from 6 months to upwards of 18 months depending on skin type. When hair strokes are combined with shading techniques, a Combo Brow is created. This option is best for the guest who has minimal existing eyebrow hair or for the guest who prefers less daily maintenance with makeup.
As the founder of Studio Hue, I am honored that you have chosen to continue your education with us. We have cultivated an environment that sparks enthusiasm, inspiration, and personal growth. We take great pride in sharing our successes and lessons. Our mission is to graduate talented artists that strengthen the permanent makeup community all while building respect for this booming industry.
As the interest in microblading continues to explode, the training programs across the country have, too. Most programs only last 2-4 days! Our program is the only training program in Ohio and surrounding states to include 6 days of in person training focused solely on manual microblading. You will complete 100 hours of study divided into pre-course work, theory instruction and clinical practice.
Immerse yourself in our boot camp style training course designed specifically for artists who are previously trained and looking to polish and amp up their skills. This 2 day training hones in on advanced hair stroke patterns that elevate the realism of microbladed brows. Learn the importance of needle configurations, advanced shading techniques, symmetrical brow mapping, and growth patterns for any client that walks through your door!
For the safety of you and your baby, we can't work on you while you're pregnant! We also cannot work on you while you're breastfeeding because hormonal changes will greatly affect your pigment retention. It's best to wait! We suggest giving your body a few months to normalize post - nursing. You are more than welcome to pre-book your appointment if you know when you'll be done!

I reached out to be a microblading model for Erica and her students after she posted about needing models and OMG I can't say enough good things about my experience!!
Everything was explained to me in detail. We chatted before she started while her students observed. She asked me questions about my natural brows and what type of look I was wanting to achieve. She also took the time to ask her students questions and made sure they understood what she was doing and why. Erica recommended a color for my skin tone and made sure I approved and she nailed it! I was so relaxed during my entire service

I was so nervous for my appointment but Erica calmed me down and walked me through the process to help me feel at ease. She explained everything so thoroughly and made sure to listen to what I wanted! I am so happy with the final product! No regrets! If you are on the fence, go see Erica and get the brows. ◡̈

This experience should never be minimized! It is hands down one of the most professional services I have ever received. Walking through the door is where it starts until you sit up from the table.
The work ethic Erica displays is evident when she is talking to you. EVERYTHING is explained in detail, on paper and verbally so everyone understands what to expect. Nobody leaves uneducated and informed.
I was honestly blown away. Her talent doesn’t even come close to comparison. She is confident and I like that. I wanted someone who knew what they were doing and someone who could do it well.

I recently received my Microblading certification through Studio Hue and Erica Kidder(owner/artist/instructor) and I am so glad I chose her program. It is the most extensive microblading program I have found in the mid west. I traveled from Indiana and would drive 10 hours to take a course from her. She’s that good. She’s extremely gifted in her craft and really helps you feel comfortable and confident by the end of the course. I can’t thank Erica enough for teaching me this craft. I will most definitely be back for the other pmu courses she offers!

I recently attended training and received my certificate for microblading at Studio Hue and could not have asked for a better person to learn from. Erica constantly shows that she cares and wants you to be the best you can be. Without her training I would not have the confidence I have after leaving and starting on my own. Even after my training ended I’ve reached out to her with a couple of questions and she has been more than willing to answer them. I have looked up to Studio Hue and Erica for so long and to learn from her was an amazing experience! Learning from someone who actually cares

Erica, the owner of Studio Hue has been doing my brows since 2016. I trust her completely! I felt amazing the minute I walked in, she made me feel so comfortable with my choice to do this! I was scared of permanent makeup, but now can’t live without my brows! I’ve worked with Erica a lot on touch ups, different styles of brows and color boosts. She’s truly the master in her field! If you are looking to do permanent makeup on your face, a huge decision and lifestyle... see the best abc book at Studio Hue!

Having your brows done can be a bit intimidating but when you put yourself in Erica's expert hands all the anxiousness is explained away. It requires faith in the end result as you will look a little bit like Joan Crawford initially. But, the results are worth it!
Dayton Microblading was recommended by my niece and I will pass that recommendation on to anyone who asks. P.S. I'm a redhead

Love this place and its staff. I saw Kyle at the Dayton studio and she was great - very professional and friendly. The studio is their newest location - clean and trendy studio but with a cozy vibe. Staff is very friendly and professional. They really work with you to make sure they collaborate on your best overall look. Would recommend to anyone looking at permanent cosmetics.

Getting my eyebrows microbladed was one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life. I did a ton of research and picked Erica Kidder, a master microblader, and also the owner. I knew she was good when it took over six months to get in. I also follow her Instagram and there isn't one bad job posted. Every person's eyebrows look absolutely amazing. I love her because she has very strict rules for pre-care and post care which is great. She even microbladed her own eyebrows! The first initial appointment took a couple hours and really wasn't that painful - maybe just a little uncomfortable

I could not recommend Erica enough. She was personable, warm and so welcoming! The salon was very clean. She explained every part of the procedure and aftercare thoroughly. The procedure itself was virtually painless and she continued to check on my comfort the entire time. The outcome was even better than I could have expected. I visited from a little over 4 hours away and would not hesitate to continue to do so year after year! She is so good at her craft and you can see that she has a passion for what she does!

Erica is amazing! A friend of mine went to Dayton Microblading and when I saw her results I knew there was no way I'd go anywhere else. Was I nervous? Absolutely! Do I have any regrets? Not a single one! This is probably the best gift I've ever given myself! I had mine done in February 2017. My follow-up was in April. I just booked my first color boost for December. Not only is Erica an expert in her craft, and in my opinion the best around, she put my nerves at ease and thoroughly explained what to expect during the healing process . If your considering microblading, look no further

I am so happy with my results from microblading, it was completely worth the investment(I wish I would have done it sooner). Erica is an artist and my brows came out even better than expected. The salon is clean, professional and I would highly recommend Dayton Microblading to anyone interested in the procedure. Erica provided specific instructions on pre and post care, she carefully measured and gave me options on color. She took the time to numb the skin and, in my opinion, I had little to no pain. Make sure you are ready to book your appointment as soon as her online schedule opens because I

I was interested in brow microblading to help eliminate the extra step of drawing on visible eye brows whenever I left the house. I researched different artists online and could not have been more impressed with Erica's portfolio at Dayton Microblading. My session was pleasant-she's incredibly sweet and super talented. She took the time to make sure my finished brows were what I wanted. I've had my newly bladed brows for a week now and could not be happier. Can't wait to see them after my 8-week touchup. Don't hesitate to go see Erica-I recommend her highly.
