What Sets This Apart

Every Brow Starts With the Face — Not a Template.

Most PMU training teaches you a technique and sends you home. We start with how skin heals and how bone structure dictates shape — because without understanding trauma thresholds, healing phases, and the architecture of each individual face, you're guessing. Our methodology trains you to read every client before you ever pick up a machine, so the brows you create look natural, heal predictably, and age beautifully across every skin type.

The Difference Between "Looks Done" and "Looks Like You Were Born With It."

Le Kitsuné is known for one thing: results that are never obvious. Our conservative, hybrid approach — combining nano hair strokes with powder shading — produces multi-dimensional brows that clients pay premium for. You'll learn the restraint, layering, and precision that separates artists who get rave referrals from those whose work looks like a stamp. You'll master technique designed for how pigment settles and softens over time, not just how it looks on day one.

Learn From a Working Master Artist — Not a Career Instructor.

Renée sees real clients daily in a luxury Manhattan studio that handles the most demanding expectations, the toughest corrections, and every skin type imaginable. With 15,000+ procedures, she teaches every layer — from foundational technique and skin science through the advanced pattern recognition and problem-solving that only come from years of daily chair time. You get the complete picture, compressed into two intensive days, from someone who's seen it all and knows exactly what you need to succeed.

The Gap Between "Certified" and "Booked" Is Where Most Artists Get Stuck.

Every program includes real business strategy — not a tacked-on afterthought. You'll learn how to price without competing on cheap, how to position yourself as premium from day one, how to run consultations that convert, and how to book your first clients with confidence. Because the best technique in the world doesn't matter if no one can find you, and talent alone won't build a sustainable practice.

Every graduate receives a Le Kitsuné Institut Certificate — backed by a methodology developed through a decade of luxury practice, not a weekend workshop.

We invited Renée to train our artists because her approach to skin science and brow architecture is unlike anything else in the industry. Our team's technical precision improved immediately — but more importantly, they learned how to think through every procedure rather than just follow steps.
