"Family! That is how you are treated when you visit SMP INK. Not only do they educate you with everything SMP related, they ensure all your questions and concerns are addressed. I have had both their service and their SMP training which far exceeded my expectations. Can’t thank Beau and Izzy enough for such a life changing experience!."

Fidelio

"I’m a barber that went through the SMP training at Rainier Academy and this course definitely has me locked in. They provided us with a kit that has pretty much everything you need to start. Great information is provided and taught during the class and the hands-on part finished it off. Beau and Izzy are great people! Most importantly they were there to assist me on my first client which is KEY. Highly recommended"

Mike

"Attended the SMP program here and it was excellent. Couldn't have asked for a better experience for a introduction into learning the skills along with marketing and licensing information. The live observations and models were a game changer for getting me ready to go from the start. Would highly recommend. Thanks Izzy and Beau!!"

Meet The Trainers

Beau and Isabel are a husband and wife team that founded SMP INK Seattle and Rainier Academy in 2018.

Isabel was currently in between semesters at the University of Washington and traveled with him to observe his SMP procedure. After coming home and realizing that no one in the pacific northwest was offering SMP, they immediately immersed themselves in the permanent cosmetics industry, and laid the foundation for starting their own business. SMP INK Seattle is now one of the most well known SMP companies in the nation. Beau and Isabel have performed thousands of treatments on clients from all around the country, and pride themselves on providing world class results.
