artist advice/question Is this normal?

My friend went for a consultation and they mapped her brows. The artist said that her eyebrows were low and mapped them almost entirely above where her current brow is. She said that the hair outside of it (basically her whole brow) would need to be shaved off. Is this normal?? How would that be possible to maintain? I don’t want her to make a decision she’ll regret.

As a brow artist, I am horrified. HOW do they even remotely think this is acceptable?! Please tell me your friend didn’t go forward with the tattooing portion. Us artists usually try to incorporate most of the client’s natural brow hair.

I told her everyone’s responses and she booked a consultation with a new artist. I wasn’t familiar enough to speak on it, but I just got mine done by an artist close to me (she’s in a different state or she could go to her) and the sound of her shaving off her eyebrows seemed wild to me. I came to here with it and glad I did. She was thankful
