Ladies, specifically members of the public, students, therapists and aspiring artists, this is what you should be asking your artist before having any Permanent Makeup/ Microblading procedure done. Are you PCASA accredited? The difference being in the standard of education and training. Right now the amount of botched jobs out there is frightening and personally the majority of my work consists of fixing other peoples work. It frustrates and saddens me, you should be asking to see photos of healed work and not photo shopped after pics which is misleading.
Who is PCASA and what do we stand for?
Permanent Cosmetic Association of South Africa (PCASA). PCASA (a chapter of the SPCP) is a sound, non-profit South African professional association owned, operated and controlled by its members and started in October 2011. The Society for Permanent Cosmetic Professionals (SPCP) is also a non-profit association that was originated in the USA and are globally known in our industry, which has laid down all the guidelines and structure for PCASA. The growth experienced in the SPCP since inception in 1990 is a direct result of its professional and legal structure, compliant with state and federal laws governing non-profit organizations.
The Board Members of PCASA are represented by a diverse group elected by the members, serving limited terms. PCASA is governed by a Code of Ethics that all members must abide to in order to set high standards in this industry. One of the main aims of PCASA is to create public awareness on the do’s and don’ts of this beautiful industry has grown faster than ever imagined.
This is what our organization is all about!
As you should know by now (if you have been In the industry for a while) that there are technicians popping up like no one else’s business, clients that come into our practices with botched faces and they have paid a fortune for it – and that because there are so many training facilities that say they are accredited or affiliated and they literally steal money from you.
We as an organization has spent a fortune in getting legislation in place as our industry has been downgraded because of these unethical technicians all around South Africa.
