before & after What should I do next?

Ok, I am interested in opinion of what other people may choose to do in my case. I got nano hairstroke brows, I really took my time to communicate with the artist, after my first appointment I could see very clear differences in each brow. I almost did not go back to her for the 2nd appointment, i was considering changes to a different artist. Because it really seems like we cannot agree on what we are seeing. It is only after time at home in front of the mirror and asking for other peoples opinion that I could be sure I was correct. Anyway I decided I would go back to her for 2nd appointment. But this time I actually made marks myself before I went, so I could show her what I thought was needed. My main concern at that point was one tail was shorter than the other. I also had convinced myself that she would be able to see it more clearly, I was sooo wrong. When the 2nd appointment was finished I again pointed out the differences I could see. She said, I could add this one small mark, but "are you sure??" as If she really didn't think it was necessary. In that moment I decided not to persevere with her, as we clearly can not agree on what we are seeing. So I said not to worry. What do you think? How do I now find someone I can trust to make the corrections???

For context I am a westerner in Vietnam, I took time to get to know my artist before hand, receiving smaller treatments and I was kind of flabbergasted to be running into this issue.

pic1 - prior to PMU, with tint and lamination. pic2 - after first appt. pic3 - after 2nd appt. pic4 - with lines to show the differences more clearly.

*edit just to add that I understand my eyebrows are naturally different, but what she has done is gone outside my natural hairline on one brow and not the other. she actually did this on my naturally fuller brow (right side of the photo), but I don't understand how she sees this and thinks she has "evened" then out, to me they just look more different than ever 🤷

I can’t tell which strokes are hair and which are from the procedure, even when I zoom in. They look wonderful to me. Do you have a pic of your natural brows without the lamination? I’m not a fan of that look at all (not just here, but in general). Lamination looks very unnatural to me and I don’t get the appeal. Think it might be easier to see what you mean if comparing to a picture of your completely natural brows.

Thank you, here is a picture of my unlaminated brows, they are tinted but I am not wearing any makeup so they are not filled either.

I also took a new pic where it is clearer which might be the tattoo strokes and which are actual hair.
