Your instructor

Rahma Yarbakht

Rahma has spent over a decade in permanent makeup, first as an artist, then training artists across Europe. Her classes are deliberately small because technique corrections happen hands-on, at your station, not from a stage.

Every lesson is grounded in healed results: subtlety, symmetry, safety and the confidence to charge properly for your work.
