Hair Stroke
Hair Stroke: brows that do not look like permanent makeup
For practising PMU artists: learn to analyse natural hair growth, build your own pattern and create machine hairstrokes on a live model.

The course develops professional judgement rather than copying the trainer’s hand: direction, density, depth and rhythm for each client’s brows and skin.
For practising PMU artists
2 days
In person in Cascais
Live model practice

For artists ready for the next level of natural-looking results

Hair Stroke requires confident machine handling and an understanding of skin. It is not a beginner course or a replacement for foundation PMU training.
You confidently perform foundation PMU and want to offer a more natural-looking alternative to shading.
You have tried hairstrokes but your patterns look repetitive or lose definition.
You want to understand who is suitable for the technique and when another approach is more appropriate.

Two days: from growth analysis to your own pattern

First you study the logic of hairstroke patterns and refine the movement; then you apply your design to a live model under supervision.
Part 1
Who Hair Stroke suits: skin, porosity, density, existing pigment and the technique’s honest limitations.
Part 2
Natural growth analysis and individual pattern design without fixed layouts.
Part 3
Needles, pigments, settings, depth and clean movement practice on latex.
Part 4
Trainer demonstration and supervised model work: mapping, treatment, photography and review.

“I took the PMU beginner course with Elena Krevsun, and those five days flew by! The program was structured clearly, with a strong focus on hands-on practice — from latex work to real models.
The atmosphere at BLB Academy was incredibly warm and supportive, which made learning both easy and enjoyable.
After completing the course, I immediately signed up for the PMU and tattoo removal training (laser and remover).
Thank you, BLB Academy, for the knowledge, support, and confidence you gave me!”

“I rarely leave reviews, but in Elena’s case, it’s simply impossible to stay silent.
For me, it was important to find not just a trainer, but someone who could truly inspire and ignite my passion for the profession. Elena didn’t just share her knowledge — she made me fall in love with the world of permanent makeup.
Thanks to her training, I was able to build a career in a foreign country without even speaking the language.
Today, I run my own business in the Netherlands, doing what I love.
Every new course at BLB is more than just education — it’s a step forward in my professional growth. I keep coming back with joy. Elena has long become more than a teacher to me — she’s a mentor and a true source of inspiration.
If you’re looking to gain new skills, dreaming of a career in PMU, or want to master advanced techniques — choose BLB. You’ll find not only high-quality training, but real support at every step.”

"Conheci an Elena Krevsun há perto de 3 anos num master class temático sobre maquiagem permanentemente , e o que mais me chamou a atenção no trabalho dela foi o facto de ela remover maquilhagem permanente antiga e tatuagens. Passei muito tempo a pesquisar informações e, depois de muito ponderar, decidi inscrever-me no curso. Fiquei completamente impressionada com a quantidade e qualidade da informação que recebi – foi simplesmente uma explosão de conhecimento!
Durante esse curso, vi os trabalhos da Elena na técnica de fios na micropigmentação e fiquei fascinada. Sem hesitar, inscrevi-me também nesse curso, e ainda trouxe uma amiga que também é especialista em micropigmentação.
Até hoje, mantenho contacto com an Elena, e ela está sempre disponível para responder às minhas dúvidas profissionais e até mesmo às pessoais. Estou-lhe muito grata por isso e recomendo esta experiência a toda a gente!
A Elena é, sem dúvida, uma profissional incrível e, além disso, uma pessoa maravilhosa!"
