Carla Ricciardone
I’m Carla Ricciardone — founder of Sculpted Studios™ and creator of the Sculpted Method™.
At one point, I was exactly where you are – standing at a crossroads, trying to decide what came next.
In 2008, the corporate world I built my life around fell apart. I had no backup plan and a huge decision to make.
I threw myself into the PMU industry and never looked back.
Since then, I’ve spent over 12 years mastering PMU, training over 1,000 artists, pioneering modern color theory, and building 3 thriving studios in major cities. Everything I teach is based on real work- across every skin tone, every challenge, every kind of client.
I’ve helped create some of the most skilled, confident artists in the industry.
You’re not just learning techniques. You’re learning a proven system built to deliver amazing results- backed by science, experience, and strategy.
The Sculpted Method™ is trusted by artists around the world- and now, it’s yours to master.
I know what it takes to succeed- and I’m here to watch you win.
Don't just take our word for it...
We have one of the highest student success rates in the entire industry. Hear what they have to say.
I finally feel like I know what I'm doing
“I had taken two other PMU trainings before this and honestly thought maybe I just wasn’t cut out for it. This course changed everything. The way they explain things, the structure, the support. I finally feel like I know what I’m doing and why.”
Kate A.
PMU Artist, 5 years experience- Ohio
Think like an artist
“The amount of detail in this training blew my mind. Every question I ever had finally made sense. It’s not just ‘do this, do that’ Carla actually teaches you how to think like an artist.”
Jenny R.
PMU Artist, 3 years experience - North Carolina
I had ZERO experience
“I didn’t come from beauty at all (I worked in HR), and I was terrified to completely change lanes. But this training made me feel seen, supported, and capable. I left feeling like I found my thing and I’ve never felt that before.”
