Microblading - Baltimore, MD

I found Ladonna and the babe spa on Yelp. I have always had eyebrows that didn't grow thick enough at the ends so I decided to do this. I went to her website and booked an appointment. One issue with booking online is you have to pay upfront and the website says cancellations can only be mad within the first 24 hours. This was a little off-putting initially but it kind of ended up serving as an incentive to actually go through with it when the time came because I started getting cold feet at the last minute. I scheduled an appointment for 5:15 pm. I got to the area at around 5 but spent 10 minutes walking around trying to find the place. When I arrived Ladonna was finishing lash extensions on another client. After the client left she gave me her full attention and I told her what kind of look I wanted and she used some eyebrow measuring tools to draw outlines with pencil. I thought they needed to be more arched so she changed them until they looked good to me and looked symmetrical. She then drew dots along the outline with a special marker and put numbing cream on under Saran Wrap for 35mimutes. While I was waiting for the numbing cream to work I signed consent forms and we decided on the ink color. When she started the pain startled me a little but was not unbearable. The numbing cream worked better on my left brow and at the tail ends of my brows. The inner corners didn't take as well so to cope with this I focused on exhaling when she was using the blade. She saw that the numbing cream hadn't worked completely so she applied liquid anesthetic for 2 minutes which did work for a bit. She had to keep reapplying and it stung a little because of the strokes she had already made in my brows. She said next time for the touch up I would sit longer with the numbing cream but I think I may have just needed more initially on my right side. The blade felt like a sharp nail(a metal one) scratching my skin over and over. It was uncomfortable but the end result was honestly better than I expected. We'll see what happens after it heals. After she was done she applied some extra ink on my brows. Then she wiped it off, took photos and applied a&d ointment. She also gave me a small packet of ointment for me to apply while healing.

When I left the shop I thought my eyebrows were pretty symmetrical but I forgot that during the appointment when we were deciding on the shape of my brows, I asked her to make my left brow shorter than it was drawn because I felt it was too long but for some reason I thought the right side was ok. She measured them and told me if she shortened the left brow it would be shorter than the right brow but for some reason I didn't ask her to shorten the right brow. It's only the next morning I looked in a mirror and realized that the shape of my left brow (pictured in the first post) is perfect and the right brow (which still looks good btw) needed to also be shorter so I rubbed at the very tip of the right brow and as mall scab came off then I applied hydrogen peroxide. It's turned red and I'm hoping it blends with my skin even if some pigment is left because I am not bothered enough to do anything more. Also I told her to make the "hairs" closer to my nose round at the top because I didn't want them to be straight. Turns out the right side is straighter than the left and I like it better straighter. I will ask her to make the right brow straighter near the nose at the touch up and I think since the brow is shorter the arch may need to be moved inward a little which I think may be possible. It's hard to see the red tip in this photo but you can see the the inner part on this brow is rounder. I'll have to take a folder of the red area later. Like I said this brow looks good too... It's just not as perfect as the left brow imo

Looks almost the same as the first night except for the part I rubbed. They've become a little itchy though. Below is a clearer pic of the part I rubbed off.
