I took Lisa's Microblading : introduction + powder brows and hands down was a good investment for my future. I always knew I wanted to learn Microblading but was hesitant on the cost and who my trainer was. I visited multiple places and left unsatisfied because the trainers and I just did not click. When I first talked to Lisa over the phone .. we just clicked. She knew what my concerns were and nailed every question I had. I also picked her because she owns a beauty crew and has high reviews on all platforms! What's not to love and trust about that? The course was great and Lisa gave me all of her tricks that she learned throughout her career. She was very patient and most importantly calming. Here's the thing with Microblading... you can't learn it in 5 or whatever days... it takes lots of practice and questions/answers... After taking her class I did however feel comfortable taking clients on my own. Whenever I had questions or just needed a quick reassurance, Lisa was there! If I text or call- she would respond in 10 mins or less which is huge because if it's an emergency there's no time to wait!!!! Very important!!! Don't find an instructor who takes a day to respond !!! Her responding in a timely manner is all ready money well spent. This means she truly cares about my success. You can't beat that!!! Oh to top it off.....Lisa gave me all of the instructions to pass my Illinois tattoo license!!!!! Zero corrections. That's when you know lisa knows her stuff!!! I can't wait to take more of her classes! Lisa, thank you for everything. You're an inspiration to me! read more

I couldn't be any more pleased with my microblading training! Lisa is AMAZING to say the least. I've never felt so comfortable and at ease in a class setting. She's literally like a hands on friend who will teach you the ins and outs of microblading! She's super talented and takes pride in her craft. My biggest fear going into the class was that after the class was over that I was going to be left hanging with a million questions. But, I couldn't be anymore wrong. Not only does she educate you on the fundamentals of microblading, she also goes into detail about starting up your own microblading business. She'll break down the regulations required by the state of IL and goes over consent forms and all. You get it all! And now that the class is over, I'm still able to text her with questions/concerns/advice. It was definitely worth every penny! Believe me, if you cheap out and go with a less in depth class, you will find yourself LOST!! And to top it off she does free refresher classes a couple times a year for her previous students FOR FREE! Seriously grateful for Lisa! I will be recommending her to everyone! Check her out on IG at _beautycrew. read more

My sister and I were on the hunt for a permanent makeup course and decided to look more into TBC Academy. We've heard many great things from previous students about their courses, curriculum and instructors so we took the plunge and have absolutely no regrets. Lisa is phenomenal. Her experience and passion for this field and her student's success is proven each minute through the course. She even approved our class dates for just us two, which was our biggest request. Not only did she provide us with all the tools necessary to perform the services but she also provided us with all the tools to open our business. And guess what? An entire month after taking the course, our PMU biz opened for business. We couldn't do it without Lisa's ongoing support and motivation. If you've been thinking about taking a class with TBC, JUST DO IT!! THANK YOU, LISA! -Mariah & Tiffany (SisterSister PMU) read more

I decided to take the PMU Fundamentals class so I could offer all permanent makeup techniques in my business and I couldn't be happier that I did! This class was worth every penny. Lisa teaches only two students at a time so you don't feel intimidated and can work on your model without feeling like you're going to mess her up. I've heard of so many horror stories of friends not even having their own model in their class! Lisa actually provided us both our own model which I was so grateful for. Her class goes in deep on permanent makeup even down to how we should be filling out our paper work to set up shop. You could tell TBC takes the time to really make this class thorough so you feel good about your investment. Lisa always answers when I need help and has even allowed me to do more models with guidance whenever I feel like I need help! I highly recommend this course read more

I've now taken two courses at The Beauty Crew Academy. I took the inteo to lash extensions back in July and I just finished the Lash Lift + Tint and the Brow Lamination + Tint combo course and both have been amazing experiences! The atmosphere is always so welcoming and comfortable, which makes it easy to focus and really enjoy learning. Bianca is an incredible instructor. She explains everything in detail, answers every question with patience, and creates a space where you feel confident and comfortable being yourself. I walked away from both classes feeling like I truly learned so much and gained valuable skills I can use right away. This academy has such a positive, professional vibe, and you can tell they truly care about their students' success. I can't recommend them enough! I'm already looking forward to taking more classes here in the future. read more

If you're an Esthetician questioning whether or not you should add Lash Lift/Tint to your services, I can only say, YES! Definitely take this course when it is available next(I believe in July). My only regret was not taking this course sooner. The class size was small, which made for a more intimate and comfortable learning environment. The instructor, Mimi, was very knowledgeable and extremely sweet. She did not hesitate to correct you while you were working on your model, which is something I place extreme value on while taking a class. I think it is safe to say that everyone felt confident leaving at the end of the day. Thank you to Lisa and Mimi for this wonderful opportunity and training to expand my services available to my clients! read more

I recently completed the Permanent Makeup Fundamentals course with Lisa, and I could not be happier with my experience! The training covered Ombré Powder Brows, Lip Blushing, and Eyelash Enhancement, and Lisa's expertise made every step clear and approachable. She is an incredibly skilled educator who takes the time to ensure her students feel confident and supported. Lisa answered all of my questions thoroughly and created an environment where I felt comfortable learning hands-on. Her knowledge and guidance made such a difference in my training, and I left feeling fully prepared to move forward in my PMU career. For anyone considering a start in permanent makeup or looking to expand their skills, I highly recommend training with Lisa!! read more

Ombré Powder Brows/ Lip blushing Class: I was a student here at TBC and let me just say... I've learned so much. Everyone here is so sweet and it feels like a little beauty family Lisa is amazing! She has helped me expand my learning so much and gave me all the tools i need to start my own business and be a girl boss she took her time teaching me and my other classmate. Oh! That's another thing it's a small classroom so it's intimate and she's able to cater to you individually! Not only did she help me so much in the course of the classes but she still helps me to this day, allowing me to shadow her and expand my learning and continue to grow! I mean if i could give 10 i would! If Your thinking about it, here's your sign... do it!! read more

TBC Academy's microblading training is the best! I learned so much from the instructor, Lisa. Lisa a natural teacher, she provides a warm, positive atmosphere for her students to learn and be successful. She doesn't stifle your creativity and really reinforces your strengths to really boost your confidence throughout the training. I'd like to add an important note: I worked on two models on the last day of the training, two. I have never seen that, a lot of other microblading trainings will have you work on one person or have everyone in the training work on one person. Having the opportunity to microblade two clients in really strengthens your training and boosts your confidence levels. Thank you so much Lisa! read more

I have now taken two courses at this academy & let me tell you!!!! I feel beyond confident in myself I started taking clients both times the first day after!!! I have taken the Classic Lash Course(June 9 2019) & Lash Lift & Tint (July 19 2020) course - both have been with instructor Bianca ! I feel 100% knowledgeable - also the way that no matter when I have a question even a year after my first course I can shoot Bianca a message and get it answered! They don't leave you just hanging they make sure they are confident in you as well, I truly can't wait til I take my next course with them! read more

I am so glad I found TBC Academy! I was trying to find a hands on class for intimate lightening and vagacials and stumbled on their site. I ended up learning both on the same day! The kits are seriously so awesome and my models were so happy with the results from the first visit that they've all already rebooked for the next one!! If you're a waxer ready to add vagacial and anal lightening you definitely need this class. The school also has an online group for us students only which is so different! We pretty much can all talk to each other after class. I already booked my next class! read more

Lisa Pizello is amazing with her instruction. I took part in her microblading certification - she only takes two per class (class consists of two 8 hour days). She provided us each a model to do our first service one, which was great as I left feeling confident in my ability to continue on my own. Probably more notable than all that, she continues to be available on an ongoing basis for help, including, but not limited to, random questions on the procedure, product/supply recommendations, and marketing ideas. Highly recommend certifying with The Beauty Crew! Thanks again, Lisa! read more

I'm a Microblading artist. I took a permanent makeup fundamentals course to learn other services to add to my menu. The training was amazing!!! The instructor, Lisa, is a wealth of knowledge and she made me feel so at ease. I learned how to do lips, powder brows and eyeliner. We worked on several models together and that helped me feel comfortable enough to do these procedures alone. Lisa shares all the tips and secrets that she has learned from all of her trainings. The training was affordable and worth the investment. I would highly recommend this school! read more

I am so thankful for my education with Lisa. I took her microblading and powder brow course. She is a expert in the industry and teaches not only techniques, but how to start your business lawfully and best practices. She has continued to be supportive with any questions I've had since. I truly feel that Lisa genuinely cares for her clients, wanting the best possible outcome for them. Her level of expertise and sincerity is hard to find. I'd highly recommend having a service or school with her if you are considering either/both. read more

I took the ombré powder brow class from Lisa. It was my first time trying permanent makeup and it was an amazing experience! The crew is very friendly, Lisa helped me through every step and cheered me on all the way. She definitely made me feel very confident in myself. After only a 2 day class I feel confident in beginning my permanent makeup journey. Even now, months after the class is over, she is still there for any question I have and is always so supportive. Highly recommend read more

I took an ombré powder brow class at TBC Academy and couldn't be happier! I've heard so many stories of poor trainings that weren't with the money, but this class was worth every dollar! Lisa went over every aspect in detail. From regulations, mapping, color theory, needles, everything! The best part was working on my own model with Lisa right over my shoulder. If you're thinking about taking a microshading, I highly recommend TBC Academy. I'll be back for eyes & lips next! read more

I was looking for a school to get my CEU credits and found TBC. I chose Lash Lift & Tint to fulfill the hours since it seemed the easiest. After the class I was actually so excited to start offering this service! Bianca showed us how we can use this service to correct hair integrity issues that will be useful in my lash business. I had no idea this was even an option. I'm so glad I came here for my CEU hours. Highly recommend! read more

Took the brow lamination + tint class for CEU's. I'm a licensed esthetician and my speciality is brows. Bianca was amazing. The guide given is very thorough with links to things like tools, supplies, serums/after care, and products. Not only did we learn the lamination + tint but there was a newly licensed esthetician in my class that didn't know how to wax brows and Bianca taught her right on the spot! HIGHLY RECOMMEND read more

The Beauty Crew Academy is amazing! Lisa taught me how to do lash lift services which has been so valuable to my career! I also learned so much about being a bridal stylist which has become a specialty in my career as a hairstylist! I love the valuable education that I received at TBC Academy! I highly recommend signing up for classes here to advance your skills! You will learn from the best! read more
