This is what they look like now.

This was after the touch up? I’m so sorry you had s bad experience. I feel like we pay so much to get this done and shouldn’t have to have regret. Good luck in the future!

Thank you! I went to another artist who did a great job, they're healing and look great now. Cant wait for my touch up

Great news!!! Post a pic of your new brows!

Hi, wondering how you're doing and coping with your brows until you get them fixed to your liking? I also had microblading done which I regret. Mine were also uneven. I only my 2nd week, but in day 10 I totally butchered the bigger bow by scrubbing it with peroxide and salf. Currently healing from that. It's been one long, depressing road for me as well.

Hi, 3 weeks ago I had the worst experience with terrible phi microblading. I cried, was really depressed I came across a post that recommended removing the ink to lighten. I'm not a specialist and I have no degree in cosmetology but I used saline, peroxide, salt made a paste and scrubbed my eyebrows. Now they got really red, irritated even bled very scary but my brows are back to normal. I actually burned my skin using this method but after a week of healing and using mederma night scar removal my brows are almost back to there normal glory. But what I did was extreme and reckless because I burned my skin I didn't do the after care and absolutely refused to do a follow up. Now this worked for me. I only mention because I know as no understand the frustration and sadness with having bad blading done

Gotta say, in this pic they look quite natural, not Sharpied at all! As we know, brows are sisters, not identical twins...

No, you cant see any ink on my brows. The shading did nothing but waste my time and money, and make my brows asymetrical, what you see in the photos are my natural brows. I got a refund, never did the touch up and am not healing my new brows from another artist who made them how I want and they look great now.

Day 5 of Microblading Healing. No Scabs Formed, but Skin is Peeling? Pigment is Missing.

Azarath

As you can see in the photos, scabs haven't formed. But parts of my brows (especially on the right brow) have fallen off, because the skin itself has peeled and fallen, taking the pigment with it. Like a snake shedding. I don't feel my brows being crusty, or hard, so I'm confused. Maybe they healed too quickly, or haven't healed at all? Shouldn't there be scabbing?

Look at the tail of the right brow. The outside line is there, it's blue. But the strokes drawn there aren't shown, they're gone, so is the shading. Look at the left brow, the front pigment is gone. Are my brows just going to peel off and have all the pigment missing? Why is only the outside staying? Can this be fixed in the follow up session? I don't know what to do.

How are they today? Has the pigment come back? This didn’t happen to me with the wet healing method. I would call the person who did the microblading and check with her.

its normal, i did check, and i wrote that which you missed entirely.

Don’t be rude. Your comment was not there.

Someone stating truth isnt rude, just stating a fact. I'm not wrong. You did in fact entirely miss a comment in the above posts before this one where I wrote:

"I spoke to the spa place I went to today on the phone (finally) and they said thats there's no "correct" way to heal since every one is different. I also submitted new photos that should be availbale on my account tonight or tomorrow with photos of my brows from yesterday (day 5) of skin thats peeled and fallen that show what looks like bald spots. So if my spa place says its normal and can be fixed in the second session, unless you see major blood or anything (because that would be a sign of an infection), during the first 2 weeks, it's too early to tell how you're skins responding. They say my photos so from the sound of it, both you and me are going through a similar process. Wait for my submission to be published by realself, take a look at the photos, decide if you're going through something similar and use that as assurance that everything is okay. Cheers."

To be fair, Tiagold was being kind and asked you how they were doing. If she missed that part of your post, not a big deal, she was trying to be helpful, and your reply did come off a bit rude.

Update: Day 4

Azarath
Update. The left brow which looked totally huge and squared out has completley changed shape to look very similar to the right brow. It's as if they have both settled and become the correct shape and size. Odd.. I would have never thought my skin was that irritated because my brows only felt stiff but they didnt "feel" swollen or anything, so turns out where I went really is the best of the best and I just need to continue believing in the process. Some parts have prematurely peels off on their own. But I'm not worried about that because pigment can always be added back. My main concern was the symmetry and size, color can always be adjusted. I feel great now. So for anyone who read this post and say the photos and used this as a way to convince themselves microblading is not for them bc this sounded like a horror story, please dont be so scared like I was on my second day, or as some people would call day 1 ( the day after the procedure ).

Yes, they are not completley symmetrical (but that can be fixed in the following appointment) , and they look smaller in person (the camera makes them look a tad thicker, just a tad).

I'm a freak about my brows matching as well but, you have to remember, they're sisters, not twins and rarely does someone have identical eyebrows.
