Student Testimonials

Just finished the 10 day brow marathon and it the most informative course. I loved every day if it. There was easily12 new brow styles plus liner and contributions from world class artists too. All questions were answered and the training was so in depth. I can't wait to try out all these new styles. I'm now doing the lip marathon too. Thank you Aleksandra for putting this together. I highly recommend these courses, or any with the Deluxe Brows team. A company that put so much into the quality of their training and the care of their students.

Katie SchofieldStudent

I took Aleksandra’s Online Deluxe Brows Marathon and am so glad I decided to sign up for it!! She provided so much information and knowledge that all levels are artists could use to succeed. I’m excited to sign up for more and continue learning as much as possible from her 🤗

Alanna MooreStudent

Aleksandras lessons are clear, precise and so informative. She is such a natural and so patient, you can tell she speaks from the heart. Thank you for sharing so much knowledge and expertise! I am now a loyal follower

Tina Rizzotto BorchersStudent

I have nearly completed the online marathon course and am amazed how much I have learned especially from just sitting behind a screen! The course is full of knowledge, in depth and every step is thoroughly explained in different ways to suit you. I am fully trained in both Microblading and machine, but after taking a long break due to health reasons I now feel completely confident to start back once this lockdown has been lifted. Thank you so much!
