‘PGC Schools‘, Japan’s first medical permanent makeup school, will celebrate its 38th anniversary in 2024. We asked this talented instructor about her thoughts on permanent makeup and her job as an instructor.

I have been involved in the training of permanent makeup for over 30 years.

My journey began in 1985 when I encountered permanent makeup and was deeply impressed by this unprecedented technique. At that time, I started learning by creating tools made from bamboo skewers and cotton thread. There were no textbooks, and the training was all about “learning by watching the technique.”

In 1998, I studied the permanent makeup and paramedical instructor course at Biotouch USA and started offering training in Japan under Biotouch Japan.

While teaching, I traveled to various countries, including South Korea, China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan, to learn more about permanent makeup. However, looking back now, I realize that the basics are the most important thing.

Everyone, once you have the desire to “learn” and “acquire skills,” you must study and practice with all your effort!

By doing so, luck will turn in your favor, and if you continue to strive without giving up, opportunities will definitely come. Our instructors at PGC Schools will continue to support all of our students with full dedication to ensure that they can seize those opportunities.
