The good news? Financing equipment for permanent makeup and microblading studios makes it possible to create a professional, compliant, and beautiful studio—without draining your savings.
Yes! Beauty professionals can finance PMU machines, beds, lighting, and sterilization tools through equipment loans, leasing, or business financing.
