I went in for a Microblading session yesterday and decided to have them also shaded in. I loved the idea of not having to worry about my brows at all as I spend about 5-7 mins on them every morning.
My technician was really nice and thoroughly explained the procedure, expectations and after care. She drew my eyebrows and was pretty OCD with it. I felt good about it and during, she was very nice. It hurt quite a bit and she talked me through it the whole time.
After the procedure, I thought my brows looked okay but were too dark and the shape was thicker than what she drew on. Also she put on a glob of aquaphor and I know that makes it look darker. But I kept looking in the mirror yesterday and felt they are too harsh and dark.
This morning, I absolutely hate them. I look like an angry bird. Or as if I colored them in with a sharpie. I texted my technician and she said to be patient and it's a process. But I hate the shape, the color and the way they look.
I'm so depressed and wondering if I need to already schedule my first laser treatment to remove them.
I cannot find any examples of people where their brows were as dark or thick as mine and lightened to a point they loved them.
Please make me feel better by sharing your experience and before/after pics with me.

You'll be okay, don't worry. Mine were darker them yours & they actually turned out nice after I healed. It was the longest, stressful 3 weeks of my life.

I read up on microblading and it said that they will lighten up to 40% after they heal, so don't worry! What clinic did you go to for the procedure?

Don't do anything hasty! I think urs look great, even better after they heal. also they will lighten. I wear non prescription glasses for awhile after fillers etc around/under the eyes...just an idea No one even notices.

Your brows look amazing! They will shrink and fade alot. You need to be patient and the last thing I would do is try to fade them on your own. You will cause scarring. You just aren't used to them, so it's shocking. I totally get it. I was too, but just went in for my third touch-up and I LOVE mine!
I will add that I don't understand why technicians don't explain better that it seems like alot at first, but fades significantly after a week or so. Just give it time. But they really do look great.
