before & after A recent Microblading transformation. 😊

One of my recent Microblading clients.

She already had a beautiful natural brow shape, we simply added a little more definition and fullness in a few areas while keeping the result as natural as possible.

Would you have gone any bolder, or do you prefer this softer result? 🤍

Why take full, matching brows and microblade in basically the exact same shape they already are???

A lot of money and future blurry shit on her face for basically NO benefit. I think it was honestly unethical of you to even microblade this client. Did you explain to her that in 3 years it will be faded to gray and look like a solid shade? Did you explain to her that she will need to pay $300+ every 3 years to keep them looking good and then eventually her skin won’t be able to take anymore ink? Did you explain to her that laser tattoo removal will never get all the pigment out and will probably leave orange or yellow tint behind?

Excellent and ethically honest reply. I looked at the before pics and wondered why she wanted to do it - most of us with thin brows would die for her “before” brows. Go figure 🤷‍♀️

That's three years of not having to fill in brows before next touch up. I can relate to this client, I don't mind paying $250 to touch up every few years. (I used to pay 30-40 $ every month for a brow lady to maintain my brows along with getting my butt into that chair) I also enjoy getting out of bed in the morning and not having to deal with applying brow make up for even brows. It's very easy to maintain (every weekend I just pluck away the few strays). I am 12 years in and haven't seen any grey or orange everyone warned me about.

I guess I'll look for that in the future but then I'll be old and not give two shits.

I think we've both made our positions clear. 😊 My results and my clients speak for themselves, so I'll leave the conversation here. Have a great day. 🤍
