  I have been a qualified Micro-pigmentation practitioner in the UK for over 20 years, however upon coming to Florida I wanted to see updated techniques and to find out more about the local requirements for practicing here. The Academy was a well set up facility in a nice area of Boca. The recommended hotel (at a special ACAS rate) was excellent. Complimentary transportation was provided. All I can say is ladies/gents please do stick with ACAS Academy. Ms. Bodrato -the owner, is a professional, fair individual who is passionate about this facility and the success of her students. The current tutors on her staff are carefully vetted and excellent at their jobs. I recommend ACAS to anybody setting out on their Permanent make-up career and I am happy to endorse it.

  I took the lash extensions, permanent makeup, paramedical, and tattoo removal and I promise you IT IS NOT WORTH THE YEAR WORTH OF HOUSE PAYMENTS THEY CHARGE YOU FOR THAT WEEK! First off getting Ms. Katrina on the phone to discuss anything is like pulling teeth. 95% of the conversations you have with her will be via text! EVERYTHING comes at a cost to her and EVERYTHING is about money! Now the lash extension class isn’t too bad. The stuff they give you in the kit is cheap. Almost every one of our fans broke straight out of the package. I think we all had to share one girls fan in the end! Then you’ll go home and find out you can’t even do it because you need to be a certified esthetician. So find that out before that money is wasted because they will not tell you anything that will keep you from giving them that money! They have very loose morals! The permanent makeup class is ok too… but you have to constantly ask for what was promised to you, then she makes you feel as though you’re a bother to her. After a class one of the girls husbands overheard Katrina complaining that “all these girls are bugging her trying to get free stuff.” (She tried to not give us the pigments which were promised in the kit, which she finally gave us 3, but her website now claims you get 5 pigments! One girl bought the digital machine for $3000.00 and had to go back and ask for the 21 pigments that was supposed to be included. She also failed to give/mention the $250 reimbursement in travel costs to several of the girls.) The paramedical class… They read their booklet that is given to you in the class and after reading all the don’t do’s in the scar camouflage, we asked, “so then what CAN we do?” Ms. Doreen said “just don’t do camouflage.” And that was it. They don’t have the appropriate time to actually “teach” everything that class says you will learn, so they just tell you not to do it! Nice, I paid almost $2000.00 for one day and in the long run was told just not to do it and we did not have any time to ask questions since the day was so rushed! The tattoo removal, buy a half a kit if you want to try it. I’m still not completely convinced it works, but the teacher does have before and after photos. Don’t buy their products. The pigments they offer are another companies pigment which they just re-bottle and put their label on so you really have no clue what you’re buying. Otherwise, why wouldn’t they sell it online and let you in on who manufactures it. Ms. Katrina AND Ms. Doreen are shysters and I would recommend spending less money with someone else, and learning from someone who isn’t doing it JUST for the almighty dollar in the end! Everything they sell to you is not to benefit you, it’s so that they make the money off you! Don’t feel rushed to buy the digital from them, they will push it on you, but you get just as good of a deal through the actual company! ACAS is not reccommended for what it costs!

  I attended this school back in November. It was one of the best decisions I had ever made. The group of women that are there to help you are unbelievably supportive, patient, and overall just an amazing team to have at your back. I came looking for a new career path and not only did I get it but I also left with a family that wanted me to succeed in all my endeavors. I very much like that you leave with enough supplies to get you started on your new track. Overall it was worth everything to come to this school and if I had to do it all over again, I would only change how long it took me to make my decision.
