Tahmina
Founder of Elysian360
Tahmina is renowned worldwide as an exceptional soft pixelated brow artist and a highly sought-after educator. With over five-hundred students across North America and Europe, Tahmina stands out from other artists and educators due to her dedication and commitment to teaching her students the correct techniques from the very beginning, especially those who are beginners.
Tahmina is known for breaking down the technique into easy-to-understand steps so students can follow, and not be overwhelmed. Tahmina will guide students step by step, correcting and tweaking students’ technique.
All students get access to the online portion as Tahmina believes once you leave the training you will forget most of what you learned so it is important to have something to refer back to. Therefore, the online portion was created to supplement student’s in-class learning,

Review of Tahmina's AAM Fundamentals Training in Permanent Makeup Micropigmentation. I recently had the privilege of undertaking Tahmina's AAM Fundamentals Training in October.
The 100-hour intensive course that proved to be nothing short of transformative for my skills and knowledge in the field. From the outset, Tahmina's expertise and passion shone through. The comprehensive curriculum covered every aspect of permanent makeup micropigmentation, providing a solid foundation for both beginners and those looking to refine their techniques. What sets this training apart is Tahmina's hands-on approach. The practical sessions were meticulously structured, allowing us to apply theoretical concepts in a real-world setting.
Tahmina's guidance and feedback were invaluable, fostering an environment of continuous learning. The training also delved into the latest industry trends, ensuring that participants were well-equipped with cutting-edge knowledge. Tahmina's dedication to staying current in the field elevated the training experience, making it relevant and dynamic.
Moreover, the emphasis on safety and hygiene standards showcased Tahmina's commitment to responsible practices within the industry. This not only instilled confidence in the procedures but also emphasized the importance of ethical considerations in permanent makeup.
In the end, Tahmina's AAM Fundamentals Training exceeded my expectations. The 100 hours were not just about accumulating hours but about honing skills, gaining insights, and fostering a genuine passion for the art of micropigmentation. I highly recommend this training to anyone serious about excelling in the world of permanent makeup. Tahmina's expertise, coupled with the comprehensive curriculum, makes this training a game-changer in the industry.

This review is for Tahmina's AAM Fundamentals Training. I recently took her course back in October and it was hands down the best beginners fundamentals I've ever taken. She sends out a machine with practice pads and needles etc before her in class portion starts so the students can practice and get used to holding their machines. Her in class portion was really in depth, she goes through EVERYTHING and I mean Everything from the history of numbing, tattoo machines pigment mixtures color code and etc. Model days were tough but she is there right by your side every step to help you improve all the way. She also gives us the opportunity to take clients/models out of her studio if we need to so that's a plus for students who doesn't have their own studio to work out of yet. If you are looking to start your PMU Career in the state of New Jersey and is looking for an in depth course I definitely recommend Elysian 360 Studio for training!

I recently had the privilege of attending the 6-day AAM Fundamental Training course at Elysian 360 Studio, led by the incredible master artist and trainer, Tahmina. I cannot express enough how transformative this experience has been for me, and I am thrilled to give it a well-deserved 5-star review!
From the moment I stepped into Elysian 360 Studio, I was welcomed with warmth and enthusiasm by Tahmina and her team. The studio itself exudes an aura of professionalism and creativity, setting the perfect tone for an intensive training course.
What truly sets this course apart is the extensive online portion, which allows you to dive deep into the art of her signature pixelated brow technique on different models with all different skin types. Tahmina's expertise in teaching her pixelated brow technique, as well as the intricacies of lip blush and eyeliner, is unparalleled. Her passion for her craft is evident in every lesson, and she goes above and beyond to ensure that her students not only understand the techniques but also the importance of why she does everything does.
Throughout the six days, I was continually amazed by Tahmina's ability to break down complex concepts into easily digestible segments. Her patience and willingness to address every question and concern made the learning process smooth and enjoyable. By the end of the course, I felt like I had gained a deep understanding of the artistry behind her signature brow technique and permanent makeup in general.
What I appreciated most about this course was that it didn't just provide technical knowledge but it also instilled confidence. Tahmina's mentorship and guidance were not only inspiring but also empowering. I left Elysian 360 Studio feeling ready to take my career to the next level, armed with a newfound sense of self-assurance and skill.
The atmosphere at Elysian 360 Studio is nothing short of inspiring. The camaraderie among students, the support from Tahmina and her team, and the creative energy that fills the studio all contribute to an unforgettable learning experience. I couldn't have asked for a better environment to foster my growth as a professional artist.
If you are considering taking your permanent makeup skills to the next level or you are new to permanent makeup, I wholeheartedly recommend the AAM Fundamental Training course at Elysian 360 studio with Tahmina. It's not just a course, it's a transformative journey that will equip you with the knowledge, confidence, and inspiration needed to excel in this field. Thank you, Tahmina and the entire Elysian 360 team, for an unforgettable experience that has truly enriched my career.
