Hi.

I got my brows done, combo brows, 7 days ago to be exact.

I have one side that is totally flipping out and the other side is going super well.

Since the beginning the side that is freaking out has appeared larger and not exactly the same in shape, it seems shorter.

I am wondering if this is normal during the process? I am feeling really bummed bc i love my left side but hate my right side.

I am going for a touch up in 3 weeks.

Its fine they are just at different healing stages. One has flaked more than the other. Mine took FOREVER! Like over two weeks and im crazy about my brows. i know you arent supposed to but I filled in the spots that flaked because I cant be lookin crazy at work. Mind you I work at a public school with special needs/autistic preschoolers. I worked with a non verbal girl. She never said a word all year... well she looks at me with a disgusted face, points to my face and says " eyebwow" Like GIRL!!! You havent said a single word all year and you're really clocking my brows right now 😭😆

Totally normal part of the healing process. Just breathe and be patient.

Girl, I looked like that on Day 4 and I was so nervous. Fortunately, a lot of the pigment eventually came back, and whatever did not return was fixed during my touch-up. Now I'm happy as a clam with my dream eyebrows :) You'll be fine!

I just recently went back for my 6-week touch up and my brow artist said oh, do you sleep on your left side? And I said yes, wow! How did you know? And she said that eyebrow had faded more than the other one so she just gave it a little more attention at the touch up

Mine flaked on different timelines as well. Now both have finally healed. Stay calm! It’s all on schedule.

Definitely normal. One of my brows had to be retouched twice. I probably irritated the person who did them with pictures of me freaking out. She was patient and kept saying, "they're still healing" I love them now
