Potential Earnings

When selecting your career path, price shouldn’t be the sole consideration, but having a clear understanding of potential earnings can be beneficial. Recently, Pro Contours has transformed eyebrow treatments, emerging as one of the most sought-after semi-permanent beauty solutions in the UK.

The cost of microblading depends on several factors, including experience, location, and competition. As your experience grows, so does your ability to charge more for the treatment. Gradually increasing your price, perhaps by £50 every six months, can position you as one of the highest-priced artists in your area. However, in highly competitive regions of the UK, beginners may find it challenging to command high prices.

How Much Can I Earn As Semi Permanent Makeup Artist?

Location plays a significant role; in London, the average price is £375, but intense competition may drive some treatments down to £225, while highly skilled artists can charge £600-£700. The UK average stands at £315, inclusive of a retouch session. Competition is fiercer in major cities like London, Manchester, Liverpool, and Birmingham.

Semi-permanent makeup treatments offer the potential for substantial profits. The maximum treatment cost, which includes top-notch aftercare products and disposable tools but excludes overheads like rent and insurance, is £16. This makes it one of the most lucrative beauty industry treatments. To gauge your earning potential accurately, consider the relatively low working hours. After servicing 20-30 clients, you can expect to complete a full procedure in 2-2.5 hours. On average, a microblading artist acquires 10-20 new clients monthly, along with 10-30 maintenance sessions. Maintenance sessions, charged at 60-70% of the initial session’s average price, typically take 1-1.5 hours and are needed every 12-30 months.

Using the UK average as a benchmark, working 50-67 hours per month can yield earnings of £8,020 (15 new clients at £315, 20 maintenance procedures at £204.74, with a treatment cost totalling £800). This allows for the possibility of pursuing a second job or managing other responsibilities without compromising your income, making it a flexible and lucrative career option.
