“I had taken three masterclasses before Ioana. Two were marketing, dressed as education. With Ioana, I learned why my pigments were healing the way they were — for the first time. My prices doubled within four months.”
Eline V.
“The mentorship continued long after the course. Six months in, I still get answers within hours when I send a healing review. That is not standard. That changed how I work.”
Camille R.
“I came for Royal Powder. I left with a complete reposition of my pricing and clientele. Ioana teaches the technique alongside the business that makes it sustainable.”
Sofia M.“I had judged at WULOP before. Sitting in Ioana’s class, I realized how many of the questions our jury asks come straight from her curriculum. The vocabulary is the same.”

Laura B.Questions before you start
Do I need any prior beauty or PMU experience?
No. Foundation training is designed for motivated beginners with no PMU background. Many of my students come from outside beauty entirely — what matters is your commitment, not your starting point.
Is there an age limit?
None I've ever observed. My students range from women in their early twenties to women in their fifties starting a second career. PMU has nothing to do with age.
Which language is the training in?
English or French — you choose. The theory module, live Zoom sessions, and in-person training are all conducted in your selected language.
What if I can't keep up — do I get a redo?
The training is structured so no one falls behind — small group, paced progression, with theory delivered before the in-person work begins. If you finish feeling unsure on a specific aspect, lifetime support means you can come back to me with questions for as long as you're practicing.
What kind of clients can I expect in my first year?
Most students start with friends, family, and word-of-mouth referrals at modest pricing for the first 5–10 clients (portfolio-building phase). After that, you transition to full pricing — typically €280–400 per treatment depending on your local market. By month six, most students have a base of 15–25 regular clients.
Do I need a license to practice in the EU?
Regulations vary by country. In Belgium specifically, PMU is regulated under hygiene and dermo-aesthetics frameworks — Day 1 of the training covers what you need to operate compliantly. For practice in another EU country, we cover the principles, but local registration is your responsibility (and we discuss country-specific requirements during the course).
