Microblading Too Thick, Dark and Blocky?

WORTH IT$550
Just had my eyebrows microbladed earlier this afternoon and I have mixed feelings about the result. I have combination oily skin so I was advised by the technician to go for a combination procedure with microblading (feather blade strokes) and microshading (that powder filled in look) to gain the most out of it. Granted that I prefer to be done up with lashes and a full face with my brows both powdered and penciled in---I agreed.
However during the drafting and outlining, I was a little apprehensive with how thick it looked and how far apart my brow outline seemed to be. I prefer to have thicker brows but I blend out for a more subdued powder ombre look. I also prefer to have my eyebrows more rounded and to have my inner eyebrows closer than what my natural shape (due to over plucking) permits. I showed her the picture I posted of my eyebrows done the way I usually do and she reassured me that the brows she did would look exactly like that once the shrinkage and lightening happens in the healing process.
I was and still am confused about my end result. It doesnt look natural or make up ready but better---it looks absolutely dark, blocky and drag queen ish.
Even Staring at my eyebrows now and I cant help but be nervous about the thickness of it. Does anyone else have this kind of experience? Does it really shrink significantly and look more natural?
Help.

Hi, based on my experience it absolutely does. I am finding that most people that are getting this procedure or not thinking about the process which can take 4 to 6 weeks depending on when your touch up is. Follow the after care and make sure to do your touch up visit. Your eyebrows are going to look great!

Sorry bad voice to text. Your brows are going to look much darker and thick until you have completed the process all the way to the touch up or second visit which would be in 4 to 6 weeks, have faith and follow the aftercare instructions.

Yes mine looked like angry bird when I got them done I was crying after I seen them I was on google searching Microblading before and after pictures

I think they look great and yes they look dark and dramatic to you but trust me the color and the blockiness you think you have will fade. I had mine done 2 months ago and I looked like an angry bird to the ninth degree. I documented my progress day by day in the beginning and they do fade. Go read my review and you will see what I mean. We all have buyers remorse in the beginning but if you went to a reputable technician and take care of them especially during healing, everything will come together.

Still unsure about the thickness of it and still hoping that they shrink in thickness significantly. I feel like today the hair like strokes are more noticeable and I think they've lightened a little. Starting to feel itchy which hopefully is a sign of a speedier recovery process

But did the technician ask for your approval of the drawing before she started the actual procedure?

I'm not sure if I've just gotten accustomed to seeing this shape/thickness and darkness of my brows but I feel like they've lightened some. The hair like strokes as well as my skin seems to be coming through and it's looking a little less opaque, thankfully. Lol I'm hoping the shrinking increases as I feel that my brows still dont quite fit my face. Still getting weird stares for my dark out there brows. Crossing my fingers
Hoping for the best with your healing! Hopefully once things fade with time it'll be easier to assess everything
