Online Certification

Online training that still corrects your real work

Online courses at Beauty Angels Academy USA are the path for artists who want to train under a grandmaster without leaving their business for a week. Amanda Banks is an International Grand Master Permanent Makeup Trainer and a former AAM Board Member, she has personally performed and supervised over 10,000 treatments, and she has trained artists across 100+ countries, so the online program carries the same standard as the room, delivered in a way you can pace around your own life. I always joke that 95 out of 100 training programs will fail you, and a common reason online training fails is that it is just videos with no one watching your work. The Academy online path is built the other way around feedback on your own results.

The course teaches the Banks Method through the 20-Level Curriculum, the same progression Amanda uses with her studio artists. You move through the material at your own pace, but the heart of the program is review, you submit your own work and a mentor corrects your strokes, your depth, and your color choices, so the lessons land on real skin rather than staying in a video player.

Online does not mean alone. You send us your work, we tell you the honest truth, and we keep doing that until your results heal natural every time.

Amanda Banks, Grand Master Trainer

The online path is the right fit for:

  • Working artists who want to level up or add a technique without closing their business
  • Artists who learn well at their own pace and want feedback on their own client work
  • Artists outside Bellevue and Scottsdale who want to train under Amanda from where they are

And online students get the same 6-month mentorship as the live path. After the modules, you keep submitting work and getting feedback from Amanda and the team while you take on your first clients or your first work in a new technique. We are honored to mentor artists wherever they are, and we treat it as the lifetime relationship it is.

The Program

Inside the online course

Online certification at Beauty Angels Academy USA follows the Banks Method through the 20-Level Curriculum, with mentor review at every stage. Here is how the online program runs.

1

Your application and intake

Training starts with an application. You tell us your experience and goals, and the team confirms whether the online path fits and which level of the 20-Level Curriculum is the right entry point for you.

2

Self-paced foundations

You begin with the curriculum levels that match your experience, covering skin theory, color theory, sanitation, and technique, paced around your own schedule. You can return to any lesson as many times as you need.

3

Mapping and face design

You learn to map a brow using symmetry, bone structure, and the ratios of the face, the same approach Amanda uses on her own clients, so your designs suit the real face rather than a template.

4

Submit your work for review

This is the part that makes the online path real. You submit your own practice and client work, and a mentor reviews your strokes, your depth, and your color choices and tells you exactly what to keep and what to change.

5

Technique by technique

You build through the core techniques of the Banks Method, from microblading fundamentals toward the higher-level powder and combination work, with feedback on each technique until your results heal natural and consistent.

6

Certification through the curriculum

You earn certification by reaching the levels of the 20-Level Curriculum the program covers, demonstrated through reviewed work rather than attendance. The certificate reflects what your hands can actually do.

7

The 6-month mentorship

After the modules, the 6-month mentorship begins, the same as the live path. You keep submitting work and getting feedback from Amanda and the team while you take on your first clients in your new technique. This is a lifetime relationship.

"Online does not mean alone"

If you have bought an online course before and ended up with a folder of videos and no one to tell you whether your strokes were right, that frustration is fair. Most online permanent makeup training stops at the video. You watch, you practice, and you have no idea if what you are doing will heal well, so you are guessing on real clients.

Online courses at Beauty Angels Academy USA are built around the opposite. The videos teach the Banks Method, but the program runs on review. You submit your own work, and a mentor corrects your strokes, your depth, and your color choices on the results you actually produced. That is how a video lesson turns into a skill your hands own.

And the online path includes the same 6-month mentorship as the live courses. You keep submitting work and getting honest feedback while you take on your first clients, from wherever you are in the world. I always joke that 95 out of 100 training programs will fail you, and the way this one does not, online or in person, is by staying with you and telling you the truth about your work until your results heal natural every time.

The artists who get the most out of the online path are the ones who treat the review as the real work, not the videos. The videos teach you what to do. The feedback on your own results teaches you to actually do it, because that is where a mentor catches the strokes that sit a hair too deep, the color that will fade cool on your client’s skin, the shape that is fighting the face rather than following it. If you send your work in honestly, including the results you are not proud of, you learn faster than you ever could from a slide, because you are being corrected on exactly the mistakes you are making. That is the whole point of training online with a grandmaster instead of buying a course no one will ever grade.

I had a wonderful experience with Zara! I had been wanting to do my eyebrows for quite a while but was very scared of them getting ruined or looking too much like make up. Zara was very professional and explained what she would do in detail, she answered all questions and more importantly she made me feel reassured. I loooove my new eyebrows!!! They looks perfect and natural. I'm so happy I found Zara after doing so much search!!

What an amazing experience! I've been thinking about getting my eyebrows microbladed for quite some time now, but as a man, I wasn't sure where to start, and I wasn't comfortable getting it done at first. However, everyone at Eastside Microblading made this such a smooth, amazing, and life-changing experience. I did a lot of research on other places, but what made this place great was that they made sure I had everything I needed before making this decision and that I was completely comfortable with it. They didn't pressure me at all, like some other places did. They also sent me before, after, and healed photos of other male clients they had worked with, which made the process much easier for me. Zara, who did my eyebrows, did a fantastic job! I didn't want my eyebrows to be too dark or noticeable, and she made sure of that. I can't express how much I love the results. It's added a lot more confidence to my day-to-day life, and it's made me feel great overall. The process itself hurt a little bit (I thought I had a higher pain tolerance but I guess not) and the healing process was smooth. I did not have any dry or flakiness in my eyebrows. I can't recommend this place enough. Thank you to all the staff and especially to Zara for making this happen!

I would give Zara 10 stars if I could! I was alwavs hesitant about getting permanent makeup because I'm very particular when it comes to these things I had my eyebrows and lash ine done by Zara back in June, and I was so happy with the results that I decided to go back in September for a lip blush to restore my lip shape and add a ittle natural tint I wanted to wait until my lips were fully healed before leaving this review because I wanted tc see the final results first I couldn't be happier! I feel sc much more confident now. I don't wear makeup every day, and all I wanted was a very natural enhancement. Zara understood exactly what I wanted and delivered beautiful results Now I can get ready for work without needing daily makeup and my face still looks fresh natural, and beautiful. Nothing looks overdone, and it doesn't even look like I'm wearing makeup I've already recommended Zara to all my friends and coworkers Ifyou're looking for beautiful natural-looking permanent makeup, this is definitely the place to go. Zara is amazing, and I highly recommend her!

I have to give a major shoutout to Zara, Amanda, and the entire team at Eastside Microblading! I’ve worked with Zara for permanent makeup on my eyebrows, and she has absolutely knocked it out of the park every single time. She approaches everything she does with so much care and intentionality. She really takes the time to listen, understand what you’re looking for, and make sure you feel comfortable and confident throughout the entire experience. I’ve also had the opportunity to see Zara for multiple cryo body sculpting sessions, and they are such a treat! She is incredibly thorough and makes the whole experience feel relaxing and enjoyable. Zara, Amanda, and the entire team are always wonderful about answering my questions, and you can tell they really care about giving every client an amazing experience. I always leave feeling well taken care of and looking forward to my next visit. If you’re considering permanent makeup or looking for a relaxing way to treat yourself with a cryo session, I highly recommend checking them out. They truly go above and beyond! ❤️

I had a wonderful experience at Eastside Microblading. The staff and my esthetician Justy was incredibly professional and attentive, ensuring complete comfort during each session. There was absolutely no downtime and the results already look very promising. I highly recommend this affordable procedure for addressing stubborn fat areas.

I was actually the person to have the treatment by Zara, not my husband, lol! I was so pleased with the results of my lip and eyebrow treatments, truly done by a very talented artist! Zara was quite a perfectionist, which I appreciated!

I LOVE my permanent makeup. Both Zara and Amanda are exceptional tattoo artists. Thanks to Amanda, I have attractive and natural looking brows, and thanks to Zara, I never have to wear eyeliner, and my lips have the shape and definition that I had in my 20’s. And you can’t tell that they are tattoos! The process itself isn’t pain free but it’s very tolerable. And the healing goes by quickly. I didn’t have to hide in the house while I healed. If you want the freedom of looking naturally good with just mascara and lip gloss, I recommend that you make appointments with Zara and Amanda!

When I decided to get into the beauty business, inspired by my own Microblading experience as a customer, I did a thorough search for potential trainers and schools. I went through plenty of prospective trainers, but it was Amanda and Beauty Angels that stood out to me. Beyond Amanda's obvious winning personality and positive attitude, the details of the Beauty Angels Academy intrigued me. While a lot of Microblading schools and trainers offered a few days of instruction and then left you to sink or swim, only Amanda and Beauty Angels offered 20 levels of curriculum through online training, which can take up to 6 months, in addition to the live training. At first I was a bit hesitant because I was impatient to get my business up and running and getting certified in a few days seemed pretty enticing! But the more I researched the Beauty Angels training and the more I researched Amanda on Facebook, Google, and Instagram (my inner spy... or stalker!), I became more and more convinced that she was the right trainer for me. I read every review she's ever gotten in her life (ok... maybe not!) and that, along with the success of her former students, sealed it for me. And I was not disappointed! Once I attended her Microblading course in March, I knew for sure I had made the right decision. Amanda is so calm and thorough in her explanations. She breaks everything down so that you can absorb it. But she's no pushover and is not going to pass you unless you produce good work. For example, for the very first level of the online training, I had to hand-draw a pair of brows. I submitted my first attempt: rejected. I submitted my second attempt: rejected. I took a deep breath, took Amanda's advice from each rejection to heart and finally passed on my third attempt! I have little doubt that a lot of other trainers wouldn't have been so firm in holding their standards but Amanda will draw the best out of you whether you like it or not! But it wasn't all just criticism. Whenever I submitted work, Amanda would be sure to tell me what I did RIGHT in addition to pointing out where I could do better. It was those bits of praise that helped keep my confidence up when I wasn't sure I could do it. Another great thing about Amanda is that she's always just a text away, as she will respond to any of your questions even on the weekends or when she's on vacation. That's dedication right there! I ended up passing my online training in June and opened up my own Microblading business soon after. Even after I officially graduated the course, Amanda still made herself available to answer questions and has been very helpful with little tidbits of knowledge, like what ink colors/mixes to use on various clients' skin colors or advice on business procedures (which is all new to me! I've never run a business before!). She is a person with a heart of gold and is very geniune about wanting to help others. I know she could make more money just performing Microblading instead of instructing others but she enjoys giving back and helping others make the journey she has made to the top of the mountain. I'm still not there, but I am so happy I have had Amanda guiding me along the way and I know I'll get there one day!

Honestly Amanda is just overall an amazing human being. I took my microblading/shading online/live course with her and I’m so thankful to have found this academy and also for someone like her to be so close to where I live and be able to learn from the best master trainer! She’s so supportive and motivational! I love learning from her so much that I recommended all my friends that are thinking about taking a microblading course to come to her! I’m also going to be returning for 3 more courses and not going anywhere else! She’s the best at what she does whether it’s microblading people or being a master trainer! She knows her stuff and isn’t afraid to share all the information she has learned throughout the years with her students! Thank you being so amazing Amanda! ❤️

I highly recommend the Beauty Angels Advanced Microblading and Shading course from Amanda! My upper strokes were a hot mess before I took the class. She worked with me and gave me great constructive criticism. Now my upper strokes are beautiful. Don’t expect to pass every level with your first submission, listen to the instructions given to you and apply it to future submissions. Amanda is a great instructor and your work will be far superior when you finish compared to when you started.

Online Course Enrollment

Enrolling in an online course

Online course enrollment is confirmed when you apply, because the right entry level depends on your experience. Tuition is set with you during your application review. Every online course includes:

  • Self-paced video instruction in the Banks Method you can revisit any time
  • The full 20-Level Curriculum progression from foundations upward
  • Mentor review of your own practice and client work
  • Brow mapping using symmetry, bone structure, and facial ratios
  • Feedback on your strokes, depth, and color choices on real results
  • The same 6-month mentorship as the live path

Beauty Angels Academy USA does not sell a video library with no one watching your work. Tuition reflects the curriculum, the mentor review, and the mentorship that follows. Apply for training to confirm your level and tuition.

Common Questions

Online course FAQ

Can I really learn permanent makeup online?+

Yes, when the program is built around feedback. The online courses at Beauty Angels Academy USA teach the Banks Method through video, but the heart of the program is mentor review of your own work. You submit your practice and client results, and a grandmaster trainer corrects your strokes, depth, and color choices, so the lessons land on real skin rather than staying in a video player.

Who is the online path best for?+

The online path fits working artists who want to level up or add a technique without closing their business, artists who learn well at their own pace, and artists outside Bellevue and Scottsdale who want to train under Amanda Banks from where they are. Brand-new artists who learn best by feel often start with the live courses instead. The team confirms the right fit when you apply.

How do I enroll in an online course?+

Enrollment begins with the training application. You tell us your experience and goals, the team reviews it and confirms whether the online path fits and which level of the 20-Level Curriculum is the right entry point, and then you lock in your enrollment and tuition.

Do online students get the mentorship too?+

Yes. The 6-month mentorship is part of the online path, the same as it is live. Once your modules are done, the review keeps going, you send in your client work and your first results in a new technique, and Amanda and the team keep correcting you while you build. Online does not mean you are left alone with a video library.

How is online certification different from a weekend class?+

A weekend class ends when the weekend ends. The online path at Beauty Angels Academy USA runs on review of your own work and continues into a 6-month mentorship, so you keep getting honest feedback while you build real skill. You are guided through the stretch right after certification, which is exactly when most short programs have already moved on.

What certification do I earn online?+

You earn certification in the Banks Method through the 20-Level Curriculum, demonstrated through reviewed work and taught by Amanda Banks, an International Grand Master Permanent Makeup Trainer and former AAM Board Member. The certificate reflects the levels you reached and the standard you can hold on real clients.

How long do I have access to the material?+

You can pace the curriculum around your own schedule and revisit lessons as you need them while you train, and the 6-month mentorship keeps you connected to Amanda and the team after the modules. The team confirms the exact access details for your enrollment when you apply.

Can I switch to live training later?+

Yes. Many artists begin online and add live, hands-on days later, or the reverse. Because both paths run on the Banks Method and the 20-Level Curriculum, the levels carry over. Tell the team your goals when you apply and they will map a path that fits how you learn.
