Society of Permanent Cosmetic Professionals to Host European Training Event in Brussels


The highest regarded permanent makeup organization worldwide, the SPCP, is soon to debut in Belgium with landmark educational event.

Brussels, Belgium (PRWEB) August 13, 2008 -- The Society of Permanent Cosmetic Professionals (SPCP) is conducting its first European Workshop, which will be held in Brussels, Belgium October 12-14, 2008. This groundbreaking event is being held in consideration of hundreds of International SPCP members. The SPCP values and appreciates the support and attendance put forth by its European members at annual SPCP events in the U.S. and in concert with requests for a regional SPCP European workshop, the SPCP is delivering a three-day informational banner educational event!

* DAY ONE will focus on health and safety in the cosmetic tattoo workplace. David Vidra, LPN, who is the SPCP Health and Safety Advisor and OSHA Outreach Trainer, will present his comprehensive Bloodborne Pathogens Course, followed by a Wound Care Workshop. Vidra is known for his lively energy and is superb at making this industry-specific training experience enriching and powerful.
* DAY TWO will consist of presentations by Elizabeth Finch-Howell, CPCP, and Kate Ciampi, CPCP. Ms. Finch will provide greatly needed factual information about color theory; specifically how permanent cosmetic color theory differs from traditional color theory. She will also supply information about general pigment formulation, dispel common misinformation, and provide fact-based accuracy to enhance the attendees' comprehension of color and pigments. Ms. Ciampi is well known throughout the permanent makeup industry for her exquisite lip tattooing procedures. Critically acclaimed for her full lip color and her independent classes, she delivers the complete package of this very challenging procedure process.
* DAY THREE will begin with Ms. Debra Guastella, CPCP, presenting Areola Re-pigmentation. Ms. Guastella is a speaker in great demand on the subject of this advanced procedure and conveys critical information on both the artistic and medically sound placement aspects of a reconstructed breast areola. Guastella will close by sharing her impressive knowledge of color selection to complete a beautifully re-pigmented areola. Lesley DeDecker, CPCP will present 'Strategies of Success' with conceptual tips on how to build and operate a successful business. This bountiful event will close with the Panel of Experts gathered and attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions of these industry icons about any challenging issues they may have experienced or anticipate.

Registration for this important event closes September 12, 2008 and is on a first come, first served basis.

Society of Permanent Cosmetic Professionals Releases New Permanent Makeup Training Requirements


As of September 1, 2008, the Society of Permanent Cosmetic Professionals (SPCP), the largest and foremost permanent makeup organization, requires all SPCP trainer members to provide a minimum of 100 hours of fundamental permanent cosmetic training.

(Vocus/PRWEB ) September 3, 2008 -- As of September 1, 2008, the Society of Permanent Cosmetic Professionals (SPCP), the largest and foremost permanent makeup organization, requires all SPCP trainer members to provide a minimum of 100 hours of fundamental permanent cosmetic training.

The SPCP is unmatched in raising standards for fundamental training requirements, and as such is often considered an example to other organizations and used as a baseline for legislative purposes. "As the leading organization in permanent cosmetics, the SPCP encourages other organizations to also adopt a 100 hour minimum training standard," says Marjorie Grimm, CPCP, instructor who teaches the SPCP's Train the Trainer program twice yearly at SPCP events.

The time is now for all permanent cosmetic trainers, legislators, industry organizations, and prospective students to recognize the need for raising the required standards of permanent makeup training. The promotional "fast track" permanent makeup training of two and three-day classes have no place in the industry. The student has no opportunity for success under these weekend-type permanent makeup classes, and the public is put at risk by technicians with insufficient training.

Each SPCP trainer member shall meet the following criteria:

* Business Setup -- Each trainer must be in compliance with all state educational statues, zoning regulations and health ordinances.
* Professional Background -- Each trainer must have a high school diploma, GED or equivalent, a minimum of five years experience in the application of permanent cosmetics, and have completed a minimum of 300 procedures within each instructional venue. Certified Permanent Cosmetic Professional (CPCP) credentials and attendance of the SPCP Train the Trainer class are required prerequisites. Minimum Continued Education Units of 16 hours every two years are required of trainers.
* Student Guidelines -- The student must be at least 18 years of age and have a high school diploma, GED, or equivalent to be considered for fundamental permanent cosmetics training.
* Fundamental Classroom Guidelines -- Training manuals and lesson plans outlining no less than 100 study hours are submitted by trainers and reviewed by the SPCP to ensure consistent guidelines. The SPCP supports higher hourly requirements imposed by various oversight agencies, states, counties, etc.

The SPCP’s greatest goal is that all who consider entering the permanent cosmetic industry recognize the need for quality training and SPCP membership. Locate an SPCP trainer member.
