On October 12 the lady went too far into my hairline, sideburn & end of eyebrow, this was my third session for face, but this was the first time she got into my hairline & uneven it out as well as some dark marks by the side of my hairline, I don't know if it is a burn or not? There was shedding & i do see some new hair, but will they all fully come back as normal or will it be thinner? I look completely bald from one side, I'm scared it wont grow back, how long will it take?
