Very Few Brows for 20 Years

Sorry, forgot to put this on my last update. My girl sent me this for the healing process and it's totally appropriate!

I'm training for work, so I apologize for not updating with pics! I've attached them. Her measurements and the before and after. I will take more pics this weekend. All the attached pics are from the day I had them done, except for the last one, which is from last night (and I'm raising my eyebrow, as my friend was making me laugh!)

I'm still healing well, no issues!

Alright--I want to preface this by stating that I think A LOT of the reviewers on here have not done their research in a few different areas. 1) Your brows will take a while to heal. They also have stages of healing. I have a meme that my girl sent me, that I will upload, once I am on my phone. 2) NOT ALL MICROBLADING IS THE SAME. I have been following this for the last FOUR, yes, FOUR years--first when I lived in NYC, and now, living in LA. It is ALL about the technique and the artist.

I finally found a fantastic girl in Santa Monica who does TRUE microblading--she also matches your brows up symmetrically with your face, as well as mixing different colors, so your eyebrows match your root--which is what the true color should be. Additionally, I'm not sure about other states, but in CA, to be a LEGIT microblader, you should be a certified tattoo artist first, then get your microblading license.

Anyhow--my girl had a terrible "microblading" experience about 5 years ago and could not find anyone who would fix the botched job. Off of that, she delved into getting herself properly certified (both above licenses) and then worked off referrals. I went into her with next to no eyebrows--I've been penciling them since I was a teenager. I took one of my friends with me, as I was nervous. I was jacked up with numbing solution, had my symmetry measured, my brows drawn out (again, will upload, once I am on my phone,) and then she started. The pain was there in some spots--my arches especially, as the skin is thinner and so the nerves are more exposed.

It took Laura 8, yes, 8 passes. And this was just my first time. I initially had 7, but I asked her to please fill in a spot--she hadn't (was going to do it on the touch up) because I had started to feel more pain than pulling. I sucked it up and had her do it.

Anyhow--no touching, no water, no sweat (so no flywheel or hot yoga for me :( ) no makeup, nothing but the ointment she gave me for 2 weeks, on the brows. Sleep on clean pillow cases. I'm traveling for work this week and have already gotten numerous compliments. They are scabbing a tiny bit at the end--but they still look fantastic!

I'm going back July 5th for my touch-up--I'll post pics. I'll update the healing process, as well. Oh, and the price above includes the initial 4 week touch-up.
