So when she started my microblading and showed me one eyebrow after it was done I told her I do not like the shape and that is not what I asked for. I also showed her a picture of how I like to fill my own eyebrows in so I know the look I wanted was achievable. She kept cutting and cutting to the point I just told her to leave it alone because obviously she could not fix her screw up. Now it's "healed" and I want the front of my brows to fade. It's so boxy and dark. It doesn't match, has patches and NO lines. I need this off my face right now I'm so depressed and embarrassed I've been wearing a hat since she did my eyebrows.

Luckily microblading fades. I got my eyebrows TATTOOED at 16, touched up again at 22. At 16 the technician didn't follow the natural shape of my brows, the corners were VERY boxy and what I learned is that microdermabrasion (facials) helps them fade. I got facials every 2-4 months and I asked the spa to purposely go over the boxy area when they were using the microdermabrasion tip (it's like a powerful suction cup tip that helps peel off dead skin). So that helped A LOT with fading my eyebrow tattoo. Microblading isn't permanent, go for a full facial (no chemical peels because that's too strong and your eyebrows are too sensitive right now). I hope this helps!
And I chose to tattoo my eyebrows because it honestly lasts 10X longer than microblading.

I think they look really good! But, I am sorry you are not happy with them. Have they lightened up at all? How are you feeling about them now? Good luck!

No they have got darker. I still do not like them and I am trying to fade them asap

they will fade at least 40%. Be patient

I had my face dermapenned and that really faded my eyebrows. I agree with the microdermabrasion suggestion.

Did it drastically fade them after one session or over time?
June 26, 2017
They were lighter after each session and continued to lighten. Colour has dropped out completely on my arch to the end despite her best effort to not get to close to my eyebrows for fear of facing my colour. Sooo this might work for you!!! For me, I have to go back to get my eyebrows redone. I got an amazing result from Shawna at Beauty Ink in Vancouver BC Canada. Google her to see her pics!!

I can't see your whole face, so it's hard to tell really if it fits your face or not, but the shape looks nice to me. I remember the first time someone did my make up and penciled my brows in, I had never done that before and was always used to seeing them blonde, I went right home and washed them off immediately. I'm sure they didn't look bad, I just was not used to seeing it so it seemed so extreme to me. Often times I feel like that is what happens on session 1 of micro blading. It is different and we are not used to seeing ourselves like that. ( granted, some of these stories don't have good shape or color, yours looks nice at least!)

Before I got them done I always filled them in with eyebrow gel so I showed her how I like my eyebrows filled it. Honestly the shape isn't how I want it but it's not so bad it's just the front is so dark and blocky it's unnatural. I wish I can fade that part at least

Be patient as they will fade by 40%. You need at least six weeks to see how they will heal. And, as others have pointed out, it is a temporary, not permanent look that realistically will last a little over a year. The shape may not be what you're used to right now but it will shrink down and may become more of what you were hoping for. Don't panic and I wish you well with good healing.
