Let me start by saying I've researched this a million times and yet everything I knew and was supposed to check flew out the window as I genuinely put all of my trust in my esthetician.
My eyebrows are way too dark. They don't even match my brow pencil I've been using for years and look great with. My brows are way to high and way too thick for my liking and the worst part is I for some reason didn't follow my own judgement and knowhow when getting this semi-permanent process done to my face. I feel the ugliest I've ever felt and really cannot bear to look at myself in the mirror yet keep looking to see how its changed my face dramatically. My upper lid liner is great although one side is thicker than the other at the end. I'm going in to get my hair done with bangs to cover this up because its such a bad job and I cannot bear it any longer.

i just got mine done on the 21st, and they are SOO dark, so i totally understand where you are coming from. Everyone keeps saying to wait it out, and i feel as though that is the hardest part. i keep trying to hide my face from everyone and its depressing. But on the bright side, i've done a lot of research and if your eyebrows are darker, and the color they used is dark too then it will get darker as it heals. Hopefully both of our eyebrows end up looking better soon :)
Good luck :)

I've just started looking into this since I've basically plucked my eyebrows down to nothing for over 30 years. I know you feel like yours are too dark, but I really think they look beautiful on you!! But it's what you think that matters. Thanks for sharing your results, I've seen other people complain about too dark results and if I end up getting this done, that will be something I make VERY clear to the person doing it. Thanks

Thank you soooooo much! It's really tough the first week, heck two weeks, but I must admit I'm growing to like them more now. I'll post a updated picture to show the progress today.

I am an esthetician. They will lighten up. You will not get the actual full results until 6 to 8 weeks. That is why you should have a Touch up date at this time. Your eyebrows actually look nice. You are just not used to the change. You didn't put any before pics. Don't know what you where working with before?you should actually see a dramatic change in a week.
Best wishes!

I hated my eyebrows also. Regretted it so bad went for my six weeks touch up and my eyebrows look amazing!!!!! The lady that did my eyebrows told me everybody panics after first getting them done but once you have your 2nd touch up it looks amazing. I thought thy were to dark and to high up also so glad I went back... from Connecticut

I'm eagerly awaiting my touch-up. I've grown to like them more and more, but I cannot lie...I was in full on panic mode and have now calmed to a slight roar.
Thank you for sharing your experience with me. I do feel a lot more at ease.

Just my brows
Don't they look too high? Or too arched? Over arched? Dark? Your honesty is greatly appreciated.

I think you have 2 sites...I posted on the other one..they will fade..
October 25, 2016
Hmm. I'm unaware of another being on another site as I've only posted this an an update, but nonetheless, thank you...my wonderful esthetician says the same, I'm just overly scared seeing them so dark. I do hope they fade a lot.

I think they look good.

Thank you! I really like them now albeit I do wish they healed a bit lighter, but I can wait for my 5-6yr fill-in to go a bit lighter.

Were you concerned about keloids? I do scar keloid. It have never had one on my face.
Also, I am on day five and I can still feel them kinda burnt sore (not infected).
What did you put on them afterwards? I use coconut oil and Vaseline, as instructed.
I want to wash my hair but I don't want to get water on them!!!,

I wasn't concerned about keloids as I've never had one and my skin pretty much heals very well...thankfully.
Apropos burnt and sore that only occurred when they were dry...if I forget to moisturize them or late at night.
I used only a thin layer of coconut oil and applied it a zillion times a day.
Don't wash your hair yet. It's going to be hell, but it's really hard not to get them wet even at the hair salon. I didn't wet the at all, even when I wanted them to fade faster I adhered to the no water and steam clause of the post-care instructions.

Your eyebrows actually look good

I'm just distraught. I got mine done yesterday and I they are super thick with very hard angles. I dabbed a little saline water in them and I'm hoping they'll shrink and fade significantly.

I must admit. I was in full on panic mode when I actually got home and looked at my eyebrows more intricately. Do you have a photo you're able to post? I ask because oftentimes we are our harshest critics and when an outside eye looks things over their objectivity many times is worth listening to.

I will check back in a day to see if your pictures and review upload to your profile and then get back to you.

I think they can totally have he dramatic arch softened by adding to the top little to fill that little dip between the arch an the top of the bulb (center) this will only thickness them lightly but they'll look awesome
I'll keep an eye out for your photos, it will really help to see what the community thinks as we are our own worst critics. :)
