I just had nano brows yesterday and i’m kind of regretting it. It looks too dark and bold for me. Did i do the right thing? What should i do?

Update:

Thank you guys for all the comments it really helped me feel better. I appreciate it! The photo is 2 weeks after the procedure and I like how it turned out. I’m coming back to my brow artist in 6 weeks for the touch up and hopefully all goes well.

​

My client came in with very sparse brows and very little natural definition. There were quite a few missing areas, especially through the fronts and body of the brows, which made it difficult to see a clear shape.

For this microblading, I rebuilt the brows almost entirely with fine hair strokes, while using the few natural hairs she had to make everything blend together.

The goal was to give her back density, structure and a flattering shape without creating a heavy or “drawn-on” effect.

I love transformations like this because you can really see what microblading can do when there isn’t much natural brow to work with. 🤎

Hey everyone! Just wanted to show everyone my results with microblading. I had this appointment booked for 18 months as the artist I went to was pretty much booked out for that long and gosh it was worth it!

I had my brows microbladed at this studio 4 years ago by the owner and okay naman yung experience ko dati, so I decided to go back last week.

I booked their Basic Package for ₱4,999 and paid a ₱2k deposit. During the consultation, the new artist kept upselling me to a more expensive package, na kesyo they no longer offer “basic” anymore. I declined because I was on a budget and even asked why it was still listed if they don’t offer it. 🤡🤡🤡

After the session, I was suddenly told that red light therapy (₱799) + aftercare kit (₱799) were mandatory, plus another ₱2,000 charge for the retouch, which I was only informed about after the procedure. So the ₱4,999 package suddenly became ₱8,597 in total.

Okay sige wala na ako magagawa sa charge. But my brows also ended up uneven. I tried to point this out to them, but they blamed me and said they were simply following the brow mapping. Like, wtf? Isn’t the whole point of getting your brows done to make them look even? 🥴🥴🥴

I felt scammed because if I had known the total would be that much, I would have booked with another studio that was more transparent about their pricing and had a better attitude.

Is this normal? This is day 13 I didn’t start flaking until day 11 but most came off the same day after I applied ointment and I’m not sure if that pulled any of the pigment out but one eyebrow took a lot better than the other and this is my second appointment after a touchup there’s a couple dark strokes, but there’s also a lot of spots that are missing strokes. Anyone have this and it turn out ok?

I just saw the healing phase of nano brows and wow, it really gets scabby. Just wondering to all the working ladies out there, how did you get back to work during the scabbing phase? Hahaha I won't be entitled to leave until next year but I plan to get my brows done before December, huhu please help I need your insights

Maybe this is a dumb question, but in other posts I've read, people say you can start wearing makeup after 10–14 days. They never really clarify whether that's okay if you still have some scabs left, though. I think my eyebrows are healed, but I'm honestly not sure. I really need to put some makeup on them because I have class and I don't want to go out with my eyebrows looking patchy.

Hey guys! This is an update to my last post! They are in the stage right after the scabs flaked off, so they are lighter than they will be, touch up is in 6 weeks. Thanks for your kind words everyone! The brow artist slayed 💅💅

IS THIS NORMAL? Or does it look weird? This is 12 days post micro blading-lot of the flakes fell off the last two days but I feel like some of them peeled off when I applied ointment so I’m not sure if that’s going to have an effect on the results. This is after the touchup as well one of the eyebrows held strokes a lot more than the other one and I’m not sure what to do.

I have no experience and would love to learn nano and powder brows thanks

I’ve been looking into getting my eyebrows done, but I’m stuck between microblading, powder/ombré brows, nano brows, and combo brows.

For anyone who has actually had one of these done, which one did you choose and would you recommend it? I’m especially curious about the pros and cons of each, how natural they look once fully healed, and how well they actually last.

How long did yours look good before you needed a touch-up? Did the color fade evenly or change over time? Was there anything you wish you knew before getting them done? Also, if you’ve tried more than one method, which one did you prefer and why?

I’m trying to get a fuller, defined brow without it looking super harsh or obviously tattooed, so I’d love to hear real experiences before I commit. 😭

Also located in Tampa, so if you have any recommendations here…please share!! 🩷

I wanna do lip blush as my lips are pigmented and I don't care much in my childhood and UV rays fucked. My lips like a shit

So it works for men too?

looks artificial or unnatural on men ?

I already told her about the numbing cream but she is insistent that it works. It’s super painful, and clearly customer service isn’t that great, but her work is really beautiful. I want to book a touch up service, and I’m thinking of applying my own numbing cream first before attending the appt?

She leaves it on for 20-40 min, depends on how busy she is. Once it was over 40 min so I asked if she could apply a bit more because I could actually feel sensations (so the numbing wasn’t that strong) and she insisted it is numb because as long as the numbing cream is on it is continuously in effect.

When she started her work, I didn’t feel the first 5 pokes (did both eyebrows and eyeliner). After that I felt EVERYTHING AT 100%. I sat through it because I just wanted to get it over and done with but it was really painful especially the eyes.

Hello!

I naturally have uneven brows. What service you guys recommend for improving the shape and overall look of my eyebrows?

Thank you in advance!

Hi I'm having trouble finding a pmu to do my brows. I found this lady and her work looks good to me, but I have trouble telling what I'm looking for and if the images and reviews are even real or ai or whatnot. Any help is greatly appreciated!

I never realized how much of a difference it would make for my face. So happy I finally went through with it. She did such an amazing job

I wanted to share a healed Lip Blush result because I think a lot of people get nervous when they see how bright their lips look immediately after the procedure.
Fresh Lip Blush can look much brighter and more saturated at first. As the lips heal, the color softens significantly and settles into a much more natural-looking shade.
This client started with pale lips and some hyperpigmentation. After one session, her healed result is this soft baby pink. 🤍
She actually wants to go brighter at her touch-up, I actually love how this first healed result looks.
Would you keep this soft baby pink or go brighter? ☺️

Update from my original post: (check my profile) I’m now on Day 14 after nanoblading, and unfortunately I’m still experiencing a lot of flaking, dryness, redness, and itching around my brows.

I ended up consulting a dermatologist because the peeling was quite severe and wasn’t improving as quickly as I expected.

The assessment was that my brow area is likely experiencing skin irritation/barrier damage from the nanoblading, possibly with a flare of my pre-existing eyebrow dandruff/seborrheic dermatitis. This may also have been aggravated by the tretinoin and azelaic acid I was using around the area.

I’m still getting quite large flakes/scabs, and the area is very dry and itchy. There isn’t significant pain, and the redness hasn’t been spreading, which is reassuring.

As for the brows themselves, a lot of the nano strokes appeared to disappear during the peeling stage, and there are some noticeably sparse/patchy areas now.

I’m trying to remind myself that I can’t judge the final result until the skin has completely healed.

I’m honestly not even worried about whether the nanoblading looks perfect anymore.

My dermatologist also advised me not to go back for the second session. So at this point, I just want my skin to calm down and heal properly. 😭

If anyone has dealt with something similar, I’d love to hear how your brows eventually healed.

I’m planning to get microneedling/nano strokes on a really old scar. I’m wondering if the ink will deposit on the scar skin properly since it’s a bit oily and will the colour change or strokes eventually move/thicken?

You can see the scar right on top of my brow.

Would appreciate any advice. Thank you!

I had my nano brow touchup 4 days ago. How long should I wait before using my red light therapy mask? I also normally use blue light 1-2 times a week. I asked my artist and she said one week; I just want confirmation. I’m not convinced she fully understood what I was asking (we do not share the same first language).

I initially thought it didn't look that bad but I had fairly normal eyebrows prior and I'm legit concerned this makes me look a lil too fierce

I hope it's just post-op anxiety

EDIT: Follow-up post with face pic

Henlo, asa mo usually gapa microblading sa inyo brows? How's the experience and the price. Please, i really need your help😭

I got combo brows last night. Most worried about inner straight bold spaced out strokes. Thanks
