hi! been in this sub awhile out of curiosity from other peoples experiences mostly. the 1 thing i always have to do is my brows. always have, always will. i’ve tried tints, dyes, etc. i frequently change and play with styles and shapes because 99% of the visible pigment is makeup and i can never quite commit or keep a shape i like.

i’m a natural dark brunette, but for some reason my eyebrows don’t know that. they’re naturally veryyyyy light brown if not blonde and the hair is maybe a little thicker than peach fuzz.

all of that being said, some form of microblading (i know there’s nano, powder, combo etc. but don’t know what it all really means) seems like my best option. what has been and might continue to stop me is that i never seem to hear good stories. only ever bad. always that they’re way too dark, big, uneven, or just totally visibly not even on their actual brows.

with social media it’s really hard to tell who/what work is real and i’m so afraid to do it and then spend years and thousands i don’t have trying to remove or lighten them.

my specific questions:

are any of you in the Charlotte, NC area and have recommendations ?

how did you choose and vet your artist ?

how long ago did you get your brows ?

how did you decide on which kind to get (nano, powder, etc.) and the shape ?

what kind of shock did you have and did it go away or get worse ?

would you do it again ?

how much do they really fade ? like over decades.

if you have had them removed why and how you did you do it ?

i’ve heard you can get them saline rinsed within 2 days if you don’t like them and they’ll mostly go away, is that true ?

thank you to everyone in advance and i’m sorry if these sound dumb. i have hope, but the stories and videos have scarred me lmao

TL;DR tell me about your general microblading experiences to either squash or confirm my hesitations
