Well everybody I am so sorry to hear all of the terror stories that you all have gone through . I am also a permanent makeup artist like Teena and what she is saying is correct . I been doing permanent procedures for the last eight years here in Mcallen Texas . I would like to give some advise if you let me , When you are looking for a makeup artist go to the place, have an interview with the artist if they want your business they can answer all your questions before you decide to have anything done.Then look at portafolio before and after photos. If you decide to have eyebrows done take you eyebrow pencil so the artist can see what color you are looking for because we as artists know the way that our colors will work . The color you decide to have the procedure done will not always be the same brown you are thinking is going to come out due to the fact that our color in our skin might affect the way pigments work . Pigments for permanent makeup are most of the time concentrated what I belive happen in most of the cases that your eyebrows mighthave been overworked ending in a very dark color. Most of the pigments when aplied will look darker than the final result and I tell my customers to take care of them with a triple antibacterial ointment so that they wont get dry and you dont loose too much color and avoid getting them wet too much but if they dont come out like you want do the opposite let them get dry an dont put too much ointment and you will loose most of the colorduring healing process. Also Pigments change depending on our color of skin . I can use the same brown in 3 diferent people and everyone will end with diferent color due to our pigmentation (color of skin.) But if you bring the color you use we can see what kind of brown is the one you want. Also we are suppose to draw your eyebrows before so that you can see how it will look after is done and that will show you if that is what you are looking for. Also look for Tdh License in the place ,look for certification of the artist ask how many years of experience? all these questions are important remember is your face and the glycolic acid is applied the same way you were tattooed. It might take 3 aplications but of course it will remove the color, now we have diferent ways to remove or make corrections all the artists have to do skin tests before they do a correction with skin colors ,just to make sure they find the color of your skin before they do the correction. Every mistake can be erased but it will take time and pacience . I been teaching different techniques in my place and I enjoy everytime I can help anyone to make a customer happy. Good luck Laura
