This is what my brows look like after 6 weeks, so at this stage they should have lightened a lot by now, I asked for dark blonde and I have been given brown. They didn't shrink as I was told they would. They are dark, heavy and very thick. Too thick for my face. I absolutely hate them and I cover them every day with foundation. I've also had to dye my hair darker.

I Had Microblading on my Eyebrows and I HATE It!

I had microblading on my eyebrows 3 weeks ago.
I tied to update my previous review but I can't.
My brows are awful! They have faded but they are still so dark. They were meant o be a dark blonde they at a dark brown. I'm having to cover them with thick foundation every day to dull them.
I paid $1000 for his procedure. I'm not going back for the touch up. I'm going to try and lighten them with glycemic acid as a friend didn't this with her botch job and it worked. I did my research and put my trust in this person!

I'm based in Sydney and I totally understand your pain! The week before Christmas I went and had microblading done at supposedly the best place in Sydney (months and months of wait lists, $1k cost) but the brow artist seemed rushed and distracted. Didn't listen to my concerns, added too many strokes at the front and my dark brown brows healed grey! I didn't go for the touch up either (good decision on your part too!). I had to cut a fringe just to have confidence in work situations (I work in media) and am now starting the process of removal which will take months and months. PM if you want to chat with someone who knows what you are going through. Believe me I saw every expert afterwards (dermatologist, tattoo removal experts, plastic surgeon you name it and this from a girl who has never even tried Botox or anything more drastic than a facial before this! I've also one enough research into pigments and iron oxide and microblading technique itself after my botched job that I could write a bloody book about it. When I went back to talk to the salon owner I swear I knew more about it than her! So I know how much you would be freaking out and also understand how much it can shatter your confidence and make you so mad at yourself - this has triggered all my insecurities and pushed all my perfectionist buttons.

I not understand why I'm seeing so many extremes after only first visit! The initial visit should be one extremely minimally to ensure color selection is on point, healing goes well, an the client has adequate time to ease into seeing themselves with a new shape/fullness/darkness in brows. I'm so sorry you ladies are going through this. It is so upsetting to me for you and also for my industry. I wish you the best of luck in fading them to something you are more comfortable with!

I just dont know what to do! The colour was meant to be dark blonde and it's far from that. I've had a look at the photos she has put up of other brows and mine is the same colour as the "brown". I have very light blonde hair. I feel like I have to dye it brown :(

Dispute it with your credit card company/bank. The service was not as promised.

saline, salt water soaks works well

Unfortunately that only works with fresh microblading while the cuts are still open (before it scabs over and heals). Quite a few people have done a DIY removal job here with purified salt water and/orhydrogen peroxide and antiseptic wipes. If I had seen this website or known about it i would have tried that myself before the cuts healed.

How are you going now? That's a lot of money to pay for a premium treatment and not get what you asked for.. . So disappointing that they can get away with this. Can I ask which place did the microblading?
July 26, 2017
They are F&@$ed! Absolutely awful. I hate them. I have to try cover them every day with makeup. They are so dark and thick.

Use products with retanol in them and exfoliate often. Sun bathing will also fed them faster.

I have been using glycoli acid wash, and retinal morning and night for 2 weeks. No change :(

I had microblading on my eyebrows on Wednesday morning. The lady who did it is meant to be the best of he best her work is amazing but I'm freaking he $&@" out! She said She would follow my brow line and suit he shape o my face. She said she would use a dark blonde ink. As soon as I saw my brows I freaked out! The shape is so thick and they are so dark! I understand the will fade but they are so thick! I can't bring myself to leave the house and I go to work wearing a hat. I don't think hey suit me at all and I hate them! I feel like such a fool :(
Will the shape shrink?

I hear ya, Sister! I had mine done last night and I am counting on them fading 40% or I'm up a creek. I've actually been laughing this morning because it looks ridiculous. When I have a full face of make up it looks better but sans make up I look like Uncle Leo on Seinfeld with this angry eyebrows.

Yes! Haha I look like a nutty professor! All my partner cold say was 'well they're different'. No self confidence at all at the moment.

Following. I had mine done yesterday. They are way thicker than I wanted. I told her before hand I didn't want them that thick. I also said that I dont wear much make-up so I wanted them ro be natural as possible. I am hoping they fade quite a bit because I dont even want to go out of the house atm.

I'm trying to comment on as many as these posts as possible as I seriously almost had a breakdown when I had mine done! I literally thought what the f*ck have I done to myself, cried felt sick and then spent hours googling saline removal of microblading, ordering Retin A creamfrom Thailand (to speed up fading), tattoo covering foundation .. you name it, I was on it! But I can assure you they do shrink a lot and fade considerably! I'll see if I can post a pic of mine or send you it privately as mine were a similar colour first of all but now are a light browny/blonde colour. I wouldn't say I love them but I definitely don't hate them and prefer them to what I had before! She looks like she's done good strokes so they will look more natural when they settle down! I just consoled myself that when they were healed I could use my tattoo foundation to cover some of the strokes to make them thinner and make them fade as quick as poss with the retin a ... I actually haven't used either as they're ok now! But it helped me to get through those awful 10 days. It really is so stressful, I don't know how some people have it done and love them straight away!! [RS bleep]

Thank you bestmm, it's terrifying! If I had of known that I wold able felt so s$&@ and down about them I wouldn't have done it to be honest. Today is day 4, they still look the same and have not started pealing yet. It's going to be a long week!
June 18, 2017
I feel totally the same, I was not prepared for the emotional rollercoaster! I kind of want some lip filler but after this I don't know if I could cope with changing my face again! I found when they peeled I lost lots of pigment even though I didn't peel them off, so they should fade quite a bit when that happens! Do you know how I can post a pic without starting my own thread? I'm happy to pm you my email and send them that way, or over Instagram? Xx
