WHAT IS PHIBROWS?
Phibrows is a manual, semi-permanent technique of hyper-realistic eyebrow drawing in which eyebrow shape is calculated according to face morphology and golden proportion (phi 1.618). It is manual process of inserting pigment below epidermis and the upper part of the reticular dermis of the skin. This procedure is performed manually using sterile disposable tools and using pigment that matches the natural color of the client’s eyebrows. The result is very realistic because we follow only natural hair growth of eyebrows during the work, we create the desired fullness and shape of the eyebrows. This is done using PhiBrows application while the eyes are closed because it relaxes the mimic muscles that can affect the symmetry of the eyebrows. In order to successfully perform the treatment, the skin must not be damaged or undergoing regeneration from any skin disease, procedure or other problems.

DAY 2
demonstration of the technique with live models
The practical part, during the second day of the course, represents working on a live model. Practicing on live models includes filling the strokes previously drawn by supervising Master with pigment so there is no possibility to make a mistake because each student works over already existing strokes. During this training you will learn how to adjust depth and precision for pigment application while microblading, how to handle with all microblading tools, factors which affect colour lasting, density and connection of the strokes, form and position of the strokes in order to create beautiful and long lasting eyebrows. The primary aim of this exercise is to teach you how to work on real skin and evaluate the pressure applied on the skin that will help you to overcome your fears. Another goal of this exercise is to get a sense of pressure that you need to apply on the skin while drawing.
- Practice of the preparation of shapes and symmetry on live models
- Practice of different configuration of the hairs. Each student will be provided with a live model, will design a shape of eyebrows together with a master, and under supervision of the master will fill in hair strokes
CERTIFICATION
After a 2 day course, students receive a certificate of attendance. Phibrows artist’s certificate is not awarded At the the end of the 2 day course.
Certificate is obtained when students have demonstrated satisfactory skills for:
- Drawing hair on a skin simulation
- Drawing symmetry on a live model
- Drawing hair on a live model
Usually it takes 1-2 months for someone to demonstrate the above skill sets. If the student does not spend enough time practicing, it may take longer. Communication with master continues on mobile application (6 month support), where students show their work and get feedback from master.

To gain AIT accreditation of a course, qualification or post graduate support training, providers must be able to prove that their course delivers education to high standards, that lecturers and trainers are qualified to deliver teaching, that content is appropriate for the level of qualification, and that the course covers the requirements to gain professional insurance. Once a training provider submits their course for accreditation, it is scrutinised by AIT’s Accreditation Team before approval is gained.
Once achieved, AIT /ABT Accreditation gives a college immediate credibility, giving students confidence to know the course is approved, validated and insurable by the UK and Ireland’s leading membership and insurance provider.
