Student Success Stories

Our students go on to build thriving careers in permanent cosmetic artistry across Virginia and beyond

  • I am a current student of APMI, almost ready to graduate. I made the right choice by choosing APMI and Daniele as my instructor. Her over 20 years in the industry is invaluable. The hands-on teaching and live models I've worked on have me prepared to open my own permanent makeup business. Daniele’s coaching and way of teaching has allowed my confidence to grow to the point I feel comfortable in most situations. I highly recommend Daniele and APMI if you want to be prepared for success. I made the right choice.
