Urban Brows Academy
Foundations.
The class behind our chairs.
We've threaded brows in Edmonton since 2014, and we train every artist we hire the same way: from a 48-page guide and three hours of supervised practice. Now the class is open — to lash and brow professionals adding threading to their menu, and to anyone who wants to learn to read a face properly.

01The Curriculum
Three hours, one method
The class runs in the same order as the guide: read the face, draw the map, then pick up the thread. Mapping is practiced on each other. Threading stays on the mannequin until your line deserves a client.
Hour 01
Reading the face
Before anything is removed, you learn what you're looking at: eye shape, face shape, growth direction, asymmetry, and the questions we ask a client before we touch a brow. You map on another student, because real faces don't behave like diagrams.
Hour 02
The map
Start point, arch, tail. Where each one comes from, how to find them with a pencil and a length of thread, and when to bend the rules for the face in front of you. You draw the map until the checklist stops being a checklist.
Hour 03
Thread in hand
Threading on the mannequin head: how to hold the thread, control the line, and take only what the map allows. You leave with a practice plan for the next thirty days.
Bring nothing · thread, pencils, mannequin, and the guide are provided
02What You Take Home
You keep the book.
Academy № 01 is the manual we wrote for our own hires: the consultation questions, the six eye shapes and six face shapes, the mapping checklist, the aftercare scripts. Students get the same book, printed, nothing abridged.
01
The printed guide
Academy № 01, the 48-page manual we train our own artists on. A printed copy is on your chair when you arrive.
02
Three hours of instruction
Taught by a senior Urban Brows artist. Four to six students, so your map gets looked at, corrected, and looked at again.
03
Certificate of completion
Issued after class with a code anyone can verify at urbanbrows.com. It records that you trained with us — it is not a licence.
04
Digital access
A digital copy of the guide arrives with your confirmation email, so you can read it before you walk in.
About the certificate: Alberta doesn't licence estheticians, and we aren't pretending otherwise. The certificate of completion is not a licence, accreditation, or professional qualification. It records that you trained with us, and anyone can verify it online.
One more thing: we hire from this room. See careers if you want the Method to become your job.
03Upcoming Sessions
Small rooms, few dates
One or two classes a month, four to six seats each. Payment confirms your seat, and the printed guide is waiting on your chair.
No upcoming dates are open right now. Contact usand we'll let you know when the next class is announced.

Class policies, in plain words
01Refunds & rescheduling
Full refund up to 7 days before class. Inside 7 days, we'll move you to another date once, free — reply to your confirmation email up to 72 hours before class. No-shows aren't refunded (the seat and printed guide were held for you).
02Pricing
Tuition is $325 plus 5% GST, charged at checkout in CAD. The printed guide, materials, and certificate are included — there is nothing to buy at class.
03The certificate
Alberta doesn't licence estheticians, and we aren't pretending otherwise. The certificate of completion is not a licence, accreditation, or professional qualification. It records that you trained with us, and anyone can verify it online.
04Hands-on practice
Mapping is practiced in pairs, on each other — pencil and thread only, nothing is removed from anyone's face. Threading is practiced on mannequin heads. You'll sign a short practice consent form at class.
