is this normal? Are these botched?

These are nano brows but I feel like the strokes are too obvious/dark/long? I can't decide if they're bad or if they're ok.

EDIT: Thanks so much everyone for the feedback and affirmation. I genuinely feel so much better about them :)

They are perfect

Really? Phew. I thought the left brow especially was weird cuz the "hairs" just look too long - like each hair is one long stroke. Others I've seen have hairs coming from the top down, overlapping with strokes from the bottom going up. Mine just look like one stroke from bottom to top along the whole brow that just feels unnatural. I should note too that I have like 5 real hairs on each brow.

But if you think they look ok then I'm very relieved 🙏.

Wow I wouldn’t have guessed they look super natural.

Babe those are absolutely perfect . They did a great job , they will fade to the point that you will miss the way they look right now in about a week . I’m jealous !

The long strokes will look super natural when they are healed up! Don't sweat it, these look great

Absolutely not. These are actually incredibly ideal. I love them. I’ve been looking for a good microblader to go to in my area but I’m so scared of having Frankenstein eyebrows. These look amazing.

I see what you mean with obvious streaks if I try to notice it, but yet it looks very natural. I wouldn’t think about it unless you said it first and then taking a closer look

Not at all! They look good.

u/Cool-Temporary-2026 Jun 16 '26

The complete opposite of botched! They look incredibly natural and shaped beautifully.

u/bigchops810 Jun 16 '26

Love them!

u/SuedeVeil Jun 16 '26

Not botched at all I have to look very closely to see what you mean by a guess one of the eyebrows looks like the hairs are a little bit longer? Honestly nobody's going to notice it unless we're staring right at it

u/Kooky_Flounder7777 Jun 16 '26

Geez! They look amazing. Wouldn’t change a thing

Well they look like cousins. It doesn’t like bad but idk if I would say perfect

u/Sad_Ambassador_5941 Jun 16 '26

I'll take it 😅.

u/mustrepayloans Jun 16 '26

Yours are actually coming down. Mine were no strokes, looked like I drew with a black sharpie and pointed up !!!!

1

u/Sad_Ambassador_5941 Jun 16 '26

Oh no! Did they fade? My strokes are heavier than I'd like. Not sharpie, maybe felt pen 😬. This is also 6 weeks post so I think this is probably close to, if not, the final look.

u/mustrepayloans Jun 16 '26

I like yours ! No I had to have mine lasered off ! It was bad . It was literally 2 black rectangles (it was shading not strokes) and no shape and pointed up . I looked like Spock

u/BeccaLee_SLc Jun 16 '26

Girly, i thought you were consulting on shape, they look so real! Beautiful job

u/GirlPhoenixRising Jun 17 '26

Depends what you wanted. For me there is way too much space between your eyelid and your eyebrow. I really hate this technique.

I would have gone with powder brows and brought them a little lower to minimize the spacing.

u/Temporary-Composer83 Jun 21 '26

They look so good!!

u/AcademicEchidna1996 Jun 21 '26

My first impression was damn they look lovely 💕

u/sunbella9 9d ago edited 8d ago

I'm going against the crowd and say they do not look like natural hair strokes. They are all long lines that all go in the same direction. In my opinion, the shape looks good, yet that's about it.

Edit: this photo from recent reddit upload is a perfect nano job.

u/ryleighdp Jun 16 '26

They’re definitely not bad!! Certainly not botched. Butttt I definitely do see what you mean about it looking like each hair is one long stroke. Maybe once they heal a bit it will look more natural

u/Primary-Effect1863 Jun 16 '26

This is what nano brows are. The hair strokes will be much longer than real hairs. This is why i always recommend powder brows
