Find your course
- You notice tiny details and have a steady hand: Start with the microblading course or the lash course.
- You love colour, design and seeing a finished result quickly: The nail course.

- You are calm and caring, with strong hands: The massage course or the hijama course.
- You want to understand skin and give treatments: The facial therapy course.
Skills that work well together
Many graduates offer more than one service so clients can book everything in one visit. Brows and lashes go naturally together; so do waxing and nails, and massage and hijama. If you are planning to work from home or open a small salon later, think about which pair your future clients would book together.
How courses are taught
Every course starts with theory and hygiene, because safe practice comes first. Most of the time is then spent practising: first on practice skins or mannequins, then on real models under a teacher's supervision. Groups are kept small so each student gets direct feedback. At the end, you are assessed on your practical work and receive a certificate that lists the course you completed.
Questions to ask before you enrol
- How many hours are practical, and how many models will I work on?
- Is the starter kit included, or do I buy it separately?
- What exactly does the certificate say?
- Can I repeat a practical session if I need more practice?
- What support is there after the course?
The academy team will answer all of these before you pay. Start dates for this season are listed in our winter intake guide.

Frequently asked questions
Which beauty course is best to start with?
It depends on your strengths. Waxing and nails are practical first steps with steady demand; brows and lashes suit people with fine detail skills and a steady hand; massage and hijama suit calm, patient people with strong hands; facial therapy suits those who want to understand skin. Many students start with one and add a second later.
Which beauty skill is most in demand in Kabul?
Demand changes with the season and the area. Brows, lashes, nails and waxing are booked all year round, and wedding seasons increase demand for brows, nails and facials.
Do I need experience before joining a course?
No. All courses start from the fundamentals, including hygiene, sanitization and client consultation, before moving to hands-on practice on real models.
Will I get a certificate?
Yes. Each Madina Academy course ends with a certificate detailing the course completed and practical training hours achieved.
Can I take two courses?
Yes. Many students combine skills that complement each other naturally—such as brows and lashes, or waxing and nails—allowing them to serve clients with complete packages.
