We offer three eyebrow training courses: Microblading & Shading (semi-permanent makeup, manual blading technique), Powder Brows (dermopigmentation with a dermograph, powder effect), and Perfection & Monitoring, for trained practitioners who wish to advance their skills. Each course is designed as a complete profession, from technique to business setup.

Microblading & Shading is performed manually, with a blade: hair-like strokes are drawn for a hyperrealistic effect, complemented by manual shading that adds density and depth. Powder Brows are created with a dermograph: the machine deposits pigment in micro-dots for a powdered, even, and long-lasting finish. These are two distinct premium techniques.

It is open to all students already trained in permanent makeup, whether they were trained at Chems Academy or elsewhere. The objective: to correct posture and technique, ensure pigment retention, master color changes, and regain confidence through personalized support.

No. Our training courses are open to everyone, including those undergoing a complete career change and with no technical background. No beauty therapist qualification (CAP esthétique) is required. Our nine-step method and individualized support allow you to progress at your own pace.

Yes. In France, this is the only legal requirement to practice permanent makeup: a Hygiene and Sanitation training program, regulated by law, to be completed in an authorized center. It can be validated before or after your technical training. Our team will assist you with this process.

Our courses are hybrid: a theoretical component and online classes to be followed at your own pace, then one to two days of in-person practical training with Chems on a real model. The training then continues remotely via our platform, with correction of your first performances until you obtain your diploma.

Yes, hands-on practice with live models is central to the training: each student takes turns working while Chems corrects their technique in real-time. Sessions are deliberately limited to a small number of trainees to ensure individualized attention.

Our training courses are held in six main cities: Paris, Lille, Marseille, Lyon, Toulouse and Strasbourg. The Advanced Training & Monitoring course is held exclusively in Lille. Special sessions are also organized periodically.

The next sessions are announced on the website, with the city, date, and training program concerned. As places are limited, we advise you to submit your application or ask to be called back as soon as a session interests you.

Detailed prices are listed on each training page. For Microblading & Shading, two courses are available: an Essential course, which lays the foundations with a first month of corrections, and a more comprehensive Premium course, with more practice on live models, a business and image module, and extended follow-up. Our team will provide you with the exact amount and the remaining balance.

Yes. Chems Academy is a Qualiopi-certified training organization, which entitles you to the main professional funding schemes: CPF, OPCO, France Travail, FAFCEA, AGEFICE, and FIFPL. Our team verifies your eligibility and handles the entire setup of your application.

You can check your rights directly on your Mon Compte Formation account, or use the simulator available on the website which estimates your balance and remaining costs. An advisor can also review this with you free of charge.

As of April 2, 2026, all training funded via the CPF will require a mandatory fixed contribution of 150 euros, automatically included when purchasing on Mon Compte Formation. This applies even when your rights cover the full cost of the training. This amount cannot be reimbursed by the training organization.

Job seekers are exempt from the flat-rate contribution. Certain co-financing situations by an employer or an OPCO can also change your out-of-pocket expenses. Our team will help you determine your specific case.

Yes. For an online purchase, payment in several installments is available to help you launch your project with peace of mind. The exact terms and conditions will be provided when you submit your application.

Our team handles the entire process: checking your eligibility, compiling the application, and following up until its validation. You don't have to manage the administrative part alone.

An eyebrow treatment generally costs between 250 and 300 euros, and up to 450 euros depending on your positioning and region. Most of our students recoup their training and equipment costs in just a few treatments. The profitability simulator on the website allows you to project your turnover.

Our goal is to enable you to sell your services at their fair value, between 250 and 300 euros, rather than 80 or 100 euros. We train you to create a result qualitative enough to be sold at the price of your expertise.

At the end of the in-person session, you will receive a certificate of participation, the first step in your journey. Once your work has been validated during the remote follow-up, your official Chems Academy diploma will be awarded to you. You will then be fully qualified to practice.

The certificate of attendance attests that you have completed the in-person component. The final diploma is awarded only after validation of your performance during the remote follow-up and the passing of the levels. It is this requirement that guarantees the real value of our certification.

Qualiopi is the benchmark quality certification for training organizations in France, compliant with the National Quality Framework. Chems Academy is Qualiopi certified (number QUA006943). This guarantees the seriousness of our educational framework and provides access to funding schemes.

Chems Latrèche has been recognized as the world's No. 1 PhiBrows since 2020, six consecutive years. More than an achievement, it's a guarantee of excellence: you'll learn from one of the highest international references in semi-permanent makeup.

Our training provides you with a complete profession and the legitimacy to practice it. For professional practice, the only legal requirement in France remains the Hygiene and Sanitation certificate. We also train you on pricing, offers, and image to help you establish yourself under favorable conditions.

Over 3,000 students trained, over 30 countries represented, over 300 5-star Google reviews, and a 100 percent success rate. Our graduates have generated several million euros in revenue. This rate is due to our long-term and personalized support.

Our pedagogical standard is aligned with the highest international levels, and our graduates work in more than 30 countries. Chems herself regularly trains internationally to evolve the method.

The sessions are led by Chems Latrèche, PhiBrows World Number 1 and a semi-permanent makeup expert for over ten years. Unlike many trainers, Chems still practices in a salon: she imparts up-to-date knowledge, proven daily.

The Chems Method is based on four pillars: understanding, practicing, receiving corrections, and passing levels. It trains a complete professional in anatomy and morphology, colorimetry, compass drawing, blade or dermograph technique, and finally pricing strategy and image.

After the in-person training, your progress is validated through nine levels, step by step, on our dedicated platform. You don't advance to the next level simply because time passes, but because your work is genuinely progressing.

Follow-up lasts up to one month for the Essential program and up to four months for the Premium program. During this period, you send photos of your first services and receive personalized feedback.

You submit photos of your work via the dedicated platform. Chems personally reviews them, level by level, without complacency. This continuous support aims to secure your launch and ensure the reliability of your initial results.

No. This is a real structured educational follow-up, with validation of your work level by level and individualized corrections, and not a simple exchange of messages in a group. This is one of the keys to our success rate.

A professional kit is included or offered depending on the chosen course. It contains the necessary equipment for you to practice and start your first services. The exact contents are specified on the training page.

Depending on the technique, you will need pigments, blades or a dermograph, needles, and hygiene consumables. Some of this equipment is covered by the kit. We will advise you on the appropriate equipment.

You can rely on the hardware ecosystem selected by Chems: professional pigments and tools, compliant with current standards, and proven in training and in the studio.

The objective is for you to pass all your levels to obtain your diploma. If you encounter difficulties, the support is precisely designed to guide you until the movement becomes your own.
