Orangebrow, it sounds as if you are satisfied with the shape and only dislike the color. Color corrections are easy enough with a properly trained professional. I recommend looking up the SPCP website and find a Permanent Cosmetics instructor in your area who is a member of SPCP, Preferably a CERTIFIED member (they have to pass the most stringent training and testing standards.) An instructor who also does procedures when they are not training, will have the know how to correct the orangey color of your eyebrows.

You may want to schedule a correction procedure directly with the instructor OR for a lower price ask to be a model for one of their Advanced Procedures classes, however you will be worked on by a student, not the instructor, but under the instructor's direct supervision.

If you are familiar with the color wheel, you will see that green is exactly opposite of orange and the two counteract each other. It sounds as if your original procedure was done with a pigment that had an orange base. Going over the procedure area with one of the specially formulated correcting pigments which have an Olive base should correct this to your satisfaction.

Thousands if not hundreds of thousands of these correcting procedures have been done by properly trained, experienced technicians. I would personally suggest this over getting involved in the who laser removal thing but that is just my own opinion.

Olga, I am so sorry to hear about your unfortunate experience. I am not sure what treatment this person has performed on you but it sounds like it may be an attempt at saline removal. My understanding of that procedure is that it consists of a series of tattooing over the area you wish to remove with a salt solution that opens up the skin and 'floats out' the pigment that you wish to remove. It cannot all be removed in one treatment and therefore takes a series of treatments each at least 1 month apart to allow for healing. Unfortunately, the appearance of the treated area can be rather un-attractive during this time.
Once enough of the black (blue) pigment is removed, she can re-define your brows in a warmer color (one that has some orange or ochre undertones.) Unfortunately, many black pigments result in this blue undertone, this is why many PCC's (Permanent Cosmetics Clinicians) do not use a true black but rather a dark blackish brown when their clients request 'black' brows.
As far as talking to an attorney, the PCC should have kept a copy of any release forms you signed as well as a written record of what pigments, tools, etc. were used on your procedure. She should also have before and after photos of all of your procedures.

Without seeing you, it sounds as if the brown she is using has a blue undertone and so in spite of the orange she put in, the brown still pulled blue. I recommend contacting the SPCP (Society of Permanent Cosmetics Professionals http://www.spcp.org/findatechnician/united.htm )And see if there is an email link to the current president to email them and ask for a qualified Permanent Cosmetics professional in your area that is skilled in color corrections. One who I've seen post here frequently is Liza Sims from Alaska. She is an industry leader and could point you towards a highly qualified person in your area. best wishes!

A couple of questions for you: I am curious as to what your natural skin tone is? Are You fair skinned, dark skinned, in between? What is your ethnic background? Do you have any scars that have turned dark? What you are describing sounds like a reaction know as hyper-pigmentation. Can you reply to my questions above? thank you.

I see that this is a really old thread, I hope you are still there. I am confused by your answer above, you said that on the 2nd visit you would use a 'sheer' version of the target color but I thought that before that you said that Organic (bad?) colors were sheer and to stay away from them. Are there also the inorganic (good?) colors that are sheer as well? Which ones are they? I recently completed my training in Permanent Cosmetics and am looking to learn as much more as I can. Thank you!
