My Microblade Brows Are Not Twins, They Are As Much Confused As I Am

$200
At 1st I wanted to keep trying to find my answer on the internet but since I haven't, here I am for some advice. I am not going to say who the artist was. She's really nice and I know she is new and still learning. I won't go into too much detail either. My 1st appt was 6/10/19. I was so excited and nervous at the same time, after all this will be semi permanent on my face. I thought I did my research but now I know its my own fault. I thought every artist has to start somewhere to build their profile. Even my sister says she told me so. I thought that I was making a good choice by allowing an artist at the actual school where she just got certified do my brows. I mean what could go wrong right? I was at the school where instructors were there to help guide the students. Prior to my appt, I had been in constant communication with the artist over text message. Now looking back, I can see there were some red flags and I should of went with my gut feeling to reschedule: I was told the instructor was not going to be there, the outline of my brows wasn't looking right, and the numbing wasn't working. I think I ignored those feelings bc I was putting my trust in the artist to help me get the brows I want. When she was done, my brows was not at all what we sketched out. I was in a state of shock so I paid, said I was happy when she asked me if I liked them and left. I think she knew the brows weren't right either bc I got a text message after I left the appt. As soon as I got home I messaged her to let her know I was not happy, that this was not what we agreed on, etc. She stated that the ointment must of leaked and smeared the outline and advised me what to do next. Up until my touch up appt on 8/15/19, we were constant communication. It's been almost 2 weeks after my touch up and though my brows look better than before, they are still not symmetrical. So I don't know what to do. I need and want my brows to be right. I didn't even know Asian brows require a unique touch. Do I continue to ask and tell her my brows need to be fixed? Should I still go to her? Do I start looking into getting them removed? Do I try to find an artist who is willing to work with already mircobladed brows? Is this a 1st time shame on her, 2nd time shame on me and 3rd time...?

They don't look bad. Let them heal and touch up with a pencil until your follow up.

I had mine done and wasn't happy with them either but I had some parts removed and touched up and they are livable now. It take some time to adjust to your new look too so give it a bit of time.
Yes, give it some time. Even if everything was perfect, you would still think they were too dark or too big or whatever. Everyone freaks about this procedure. Within a year my microblading faded to at least half of their original color. After three years I barely have any color left. I was told that brows are sisters and not twins. That is so true. Our face is not symmetrical - not our eyes, brows, lips, nostrils, etc. If you want more input, talk to one of the instructors for help and support. But do not have the color removed. It causes scabbing and scarring.
So sorry this happened to you, but I would NEVER allow anyone new to this procedure do my eyebrows. Have you notified the school? They should help you.
I also went for a consultation with a different artist I trust (wish I had found her first) and my options to fix my mismatched eyebrows are to either do saline injections on one brow but that's costly and painful depending on how many sessions are needed or laser treatment to lighten but that will kill the hair follicles forever as well or lighten my brows at home by trying exfoliators and glycolic acid twice a day... I think I'm just gonna let them fade and redo later on.
I would go to someone else and pay the extra. Can you see the instructors instead ?
