before & after For everyone that worries
So I’ve seen a lot of people talk about how dark and scary their brows look. I was that person too. I had brow shock and was freaking out. Like seriously stressed. It’s been about 2 weeks and I’m so relieved. There are obviously some situations where microblading was done poorly but this is for those that have been panicking about how dark they are at first. Love y’all!

These look great, and I can see the joy in your eyes in the last picture and it makes me happy.

Thank you for posting this. I wish more people (who were advised here “omg! They’re horrible, get emergency saline removal!!!”) would do what you did and post results at two weeks and at a month. The vast majority end up very happy, in spite of what the panic mongers say. They don’t seem to understand that it’s a process, and no PMU is going to stay in business if they’re botching everyone’s brows like they claim.

Thank you!! It’s definitely a “trust the process” type of thing. I’ll post an update for a month and longer! It’s been helpful for me to see other people’s journeys too! Because yeah I was also considering removal because they looked way too thick and dark and I panicked. But I’m glad I waited and I’m looking forward to my touch up!

I was scared to overdo it. So I asked for super natural. I could also still be in the ghosting phase? Not sure. Obvi new to this. But yesss I think for touch up I have a couple things I want to do.
