PROUD TO BE A DEMONSTRATOR AT THE UK PMU AWARDS
Build a new career with my signature permanent makeup techniques and a proven roadmap for success.
Create a Career You Are Proud Of
Learning permanent makeup gave me financial freedom, flexible working, and a life I genuinely enjoy. It is the reason I have a busy high street clinic, time with my family, and the ability to choose how I work.
This is not a fantasy. It is the result of professional training, a clear strategy and trusting myself to start something new.
I created the Karen Harvey-Conran Academy so you can do the same.
You don't need a beauty background. You need the right education, the right support and a real plan to build a career in permanent makeup.
The Methods That Built My Six-Figure Clinic
Everything I teach is based on experience. I had no beauty background when I started. No clients waiting for me. No following. I learned the techniques, built a business from scratch and created a clinic that now runs six figures with a full team.
What I teach is not the minimum required to pass. It is the real process that took me from a garden room studio to a fully booked clinic on the high street.
You learn my signature techniques for brows, lips and eyeliner. You also learn how to build a business that supports your income and the life you want.
No Gatekeeping. You Get Everything I Know
Some trainers show you how to tattoo and leave you to guess the rest.
This academy teaches the full system I use in clinic every day.
You learn:
• My approach to mapping, colour and healed results
• My mature skin methods that most training does not cover
• How I attract premium clients without discounting
• The client journey that creates consistent booked weeks
• How I worked from zero clients to fully booked
• The exact business decisions that built my income
• A brand and content approach that positions you professionally
Nothing is held back. I want you to succeed.
Personal Mentoring, Not Production Line Training
Training here is personal. That is how you build confidence. You are taught 1:1 or 1:2, so you understand every step and get direct feedback on your work.
I know the questions that run through your mind before you start.
"Can I really do this."
"What if I do not get clients."
"What if I make mistakes."
I had the same thoughts.
That is why I teach like this. You are not left alone after training. You have access to support while you start taking clients and building your business.

Calculate the Financial Potential
Permanent makeup is a rapidly growing market in the UK. It has strong demand and a clear earning model.
Typical client fees:
Brows: £200 to £400
Lips: £250 to £450
Eyeliner: £200 to £450
Working two to three days each week can create a full-time income, depending on your pricing and location.
This is why my beginner pathway teaches all three core services. If you only offer brows, you leave income on the table. When you can offer brows, lips and eyeliner, your diary fills faster and your earning potential increases.
I built my business from the ground up, starting with no clients, no beauty experience and a small studio in my garden. The academy teaches everything I learned along the way. You do not just learn how to create beautiful brows, eyeliner or lip blush. You learn the methods, the planning and the strategy that helped me build a six-figure clinic and a life with more freedom and flexibility.
Training here is personal and practical. You are taught to a high standard, with a focus on healed results and confidence in your technique. You work 1:1 or 1:2 groups so you can ask questions, get feedback and grow without feeling lost in a room full of people. You also learn how to structure your business, price your work, build a client base and use social media properly, even if you start with no audience.
Nothing is held back. The aim is not to give you the minimum to pass. The aim is to help you leave training ready to build a business you are proud of.
