Hello. Another therapist and I have trained with the company LVC college for the courses Microblading and nanoblading. We have been given case studies to do before we qualify. I have completed all my case studies as well as the therapist. However our clients have been having problems with the pigment lasting. As far as we know all aftercare has been followed. Could anyone help out? Unfortunately the college are not much help at all and we are very disappointed in the lack of guidance they have been giving us.
Microblading/nanoblading problems

This is my post from another thread but carry’s some weight with regards to the problem you are having now!
I have recently trained in Microblading with LAB Academy in Stockton-on-Tees (Up North). Bear with me I will eventually get on to the Microblading!
The owner and Lead Tutor is Lisa Allison, she was my college lecturer when I did my level 3 in Beauty a few years ago. Lisa is a fantastic tutor, at college the whole group was disappointed and had lost interest in the course as the lecturer wasn’t great and we felt let down by the college. Then one morning in walked Lisa!
She was enthusiastic about the industry and had extensive knowledge in all sectors. She brought life back in to the group and what a relief it was! I was always a nervous learner, I was always reluctant to get stuck in and do the practical side and would always hang back and watch others in the group before I would take part. Lisa changed that within a week, she was able to identify my weaknesses and adopt a different approach with me which helped build my confidence to the point where I was volunteering to get stuck in.
When I heard that Lisa had started her own training academy I had to get booked in for training! I have completed Microblading, Dermaplaning, Henna Brows, Lash Lift & Tint, Individual Eyelash Extensions and retrained in Waxing (not previously trained by Lisa in Waxing).
The courses are affordable compared to most academies, the premises is a lovely building, the equipment and products are good quality, Lisa is still as enthusiastic about the industry, the standards are lot higher than the other academy where I’ve previously trained (actually found out that the trainer from the other academy didn’t even have her level 3 or any teaching qualification and had been trained in house for the course I attended), I can go on and on, she is just fab!
Microblading! Lisa’s Course is a 2 day course and it’s accredited by ABT and fully insurable. When I was initially looking at courses I was thinking of training with Phibrows or Nouveau as they have fantastic reputations, but then an ex colleague told me about Lisa and that she was offering the training. Her price was £xxx and includes a full kit, I thought to myself that there has got to be a catch! I reached out to Lisa and she invited me in for a tour and a chat.
Lisa took the time to go through the training course manual with me and I had flashbacks to my level 3 training with her and I knew I had to train with her! Even after our little meeting she text me to say that there would be no hard feelings if I decided to go and train elsewhere!
Day 1, wow, there was a lot to take in! It had been a while since I had done Anatomy & Physiology! But, Lisa being Lisa worked her magic! So lots of theory, practicing and familiarisation.
Day 2, some more practice and then practical assessment, model 1, model 2, model 3.
I was very nervous with model 1! I had a little wobble, Lisa calmed me down and reiterated each step with clear instructions. It seemed like I was doing her brows for a life time, when I finished I was so emotional with the models reaction to her new brows, she loved them! Model 2, the nerves had subsided, not as much instruction coming from Lisa but I could feel her observant eyes following every single stroke that I made. The model was happy with her brows and I was improving on the treatment time. Model 3, nerves had gone, Lisa’s instructions had turned to compliments and praise, model was very pleased with her brows and I felt great!
The experience was like no other, it was a challenging 2 days but so worth it! The training didn’t stop there. I then had to complete a further 5 case studies which I completed at my home salon. I would then send evidence of each case study to Lisa and she would comment and give further advice. After completing all case studies I received my ABT accredited Microblading Certificate! It took 3 weeks from start to finish. Lisa has since followed my progress on Insta and is always available on the phone for any further advice.
I have friends who have trained elsewhere, some are very disappointed in the training that they received and felt ripped off. Others have trained with the more prestigious providers and took months to get their qualification (our work is no different - I actually think my correction work is better).
I saw that LAB Academy had slashed their price to £xxx for the training and thought that I’d share my Microblading experience!

It is very frustrating as the course cost in total £2000 and we didn’t get the best support. We would do the clients and within 3-4 weeks all the pigment would be gone. And there would be nothing there again for the top up session. Thank you for experience. It sounds like you got an amazing deal!
I’ve just looked at my trouble shooting page of the manual and it says that if it’s been more than 2 weeks and your pigment has gone, then it is most likely not normal and relates to some other cause. In most cases it is that the artist did not go deep enough. In order to get lasting results the artist must go in to the dermal epidermal junction.
If the cuts only go into the superficial epidermal layer then your body will basically push out the pigment or dye and it will NOT take.
You know if you went the right depth because you will hear a "tearing" sound in the skin.
If you don’t go deep enough the pigment will come out with the scab.
All of this is in my training manual. Did you receive any similar information in yours?

I did the same course and have been having exactly the same issues. Had to messaged them 3 times to get my certificate. They were so unhelpful and I’m struggling to find a new pigment as there’s isn’t lasting till the top up
