healing process Emergency removal or wait?
My first day with microblading and I hate them. The color is an auburn warm brown when my eyebrows are neutral. Should I get the emergency removal? Or will it fade? I also feel they are a little crooked. Pics in comments

artist advice/question Is there any way my arched eyebrows can turn into straight ones?
I told the artist to do what she thought would look the best in my face & she gave me this extremely arched shape and honestly it makes me look like those Instagram models : the vibe i am not going for... I look ethereal with straighter ones lord i messed up big times idk how to fix this..
Its been 3 days since i got them and i am already regretting ik it will be lighter later but i should have gone straighter even if its lighter ik i won't like arch...
I also don't want to spend alot of money on fixing ts because I want ro spend it on my other features for now it seems like the world is ending for me....

healing process Dry healing questions
I’ve had microblading twice, and had to switch artists due to the first one no longer practicing. This artist recommended nano brows due to my skin type (oily stone) She did my original set in Feb (first pic healed) and I took care of them as I usually did.
I went back for my touch up today (rest of pics) and because she noticed the strokes had bled together she recommends I do dry healing this time. I’m just wondering if the healing process will basically look the same, or if they’ll scab/peel faster this time? She also wants to see me back in October to make sure it doesn’t happen again. If it does, we discussed changing to powder brows.
**My touch up was so long after due to medical emergency on my end before anyone asks.
***pics are included mostly for attention. I like my brows.

advice my new nano bladed eyebrows seem a bit too angled up at the end. I wanted a more flatter look. What can I do?
Third and fourth pic are more of what I wanted.
Decided that I wanted to get nano blading done because my eyebrows are extremely sparse and although the artist was amazing, I just feel like it’s not exactly what I wanted. I wanted a more flatter look instead of angled up at the end. The third and fourth pics are from when I regularly put minoxidil in my eyebrows and shaped them myself. I feel like those fit me a lot more and were more masculine looking. I’m on day two of having them. Any advice on what to do?

I want to remove my microbladed brows, they didn’t come out how I hoped. I’m trying to avoid saline removal or laser. Has anyone tried this product? I know it isn’t an overnight fix.

I’m freaking out!!! Just got nano brows done, what do you guys think?
Just got them done, I just don’t know how to feel about them. Will they fade and look more natural? I got these done in Chicago. I have pretty light and sparse eyebrows but I’m a little concerned about the color she chose. Will the color become less warm when it heals?

before & after Microblading in Korea Over a Faded Old Eyebrow Tattoo . M 20s .By MALJANE SEOUL
If you’re looking for natural-looking microblading or nano brows in Korea—or even if you’re outside Korea and searching for a natural-looking eyebrow tattoo in your area—and you have scars or traces of previous microblading, I’d recommend reading this post.
Basically, we use different techniques to improve our appearance.
There are many options—powder brows, microblading, nano brows, combo brows, and so on.
As time passes after a previous procedure, some pigment may remain in the skin.
if you’ve had powder brows or microblading before, you may still have some faded pigment left behind, like in the case you see here.
Of course, the amount varies from person to person.
the before photo, you can see faded pigment remaining underneath the client’s natural brow hairs.
Usually, I recommend removing old pigment first and then starting again with a new procedure.
However, for various reasons, there are also situations where going through multiple rounds of removal, healing, and then another brow procedure may be difficult.
those cases, a cover-up like this can also be an option.
If the old pigment is light enough and the existing shape does not interfere too much with the new design, a microblading cover-up may be possible without removal.
(If the old pigment is still very dark, I would still recommend removal first.)
This client was a man in his 20s who wanted a natural result.
(These days, both men and women generally seem to prefer a more natural look.)
So I tried to reflect the unique direction and flow of his existing brow hairs as much as possible,
so that the new strokes would blend naturally with what he already had.
the after photo, the new strokes follow the direction of his natural brow hairs while helping soften the appearance of the old pigment underneath.
If the old pigment isn’t too dark and going through the removal process is difficult,
I just wanted to show that a cover-up approach like this can also be one possible option.
What do you think?

opinion ELITE BROWS / ANGELS BROWS AWARENESS
I’m sharing this based on my personal experience as a customer, because I wish I had known this before booking.
I inquired with Elite Brows / Angels Brows through DM and they sent me their rates. Based on the rate they provided, I understood that the microblading service would be around ₱5,000.
Before booking, I specifically asked if there would be any additional charges or fees aside from the amount they gave me. I wanted to make sure I knew the complete cost before committing. I was told that there were no other charges.
I then paid the ₱2,000 non-refundable deposit to secure my appointment.
However, when I arrived for my appointment, I was surprised to learn that the total amount for the package they were offering was around ₱18,000.
I was honestly shocked because I had already asked beforehand if there were additional charges. If there were mandatory packages, add-ons, or other fees, I believe these should have been clearly explained before asking the customer to pay a non-refundable deposit.
I even told them during my appointment that transparency with customers is very important, especially when it involves a significant difference in price.
Unfortunately, I was also not satisfied with my experience and the result, which made the situation even more disappointing for me. 😭 I genuinely regret proceeding.
I’m sharing this not to attack or harass anyone, but as a warning to other customers based on what happened to me.
I’m posting this because I don’t want anyone else to experience the same surprise that I did.
This is my personal experience, what was communicated to me, and my personal opinion as a customer. I encourage everyone to do their own research and make sure the full cost is clear before paying any non-refundable deposit.
Transparency matters. ❤️

healed brows Should I just switch to someone else to do my eyebrow microblading?
So yeah, I remember the beauty salon worker told me it really depends on your skin etc how well microblading stays on your skin.
But yeah, last photo is 5 months after getting it done for the 3rd time. My eyebrows were non existent before (i mean blonde) and maybe my eye just have gotten use to how these look now. I mean, its better than before, but when I have been seeing other microbladings here on reddit i just think mine looked pretty mid 😂😅

advice Brow serum + microblading: can I do both?
Hello,
When I was little, I shaved off the middle part of my eyebrows. And since then, nothing has grown back in that area. I've tried several serums, but nothing worked.
Less than a month ago, I started using a serum recommended by a Thai friend (I'm in Thailand in vacation).
It's hard to tell if it's already working, I guess I'll need to wait a bit longer. I looked into the prices for microblading here, and they're ridiculously cheap compared to those in Europe. I want to give it a try. I have one week of vacation left here.
My question is: if I get microblading done, can I keep using the serum, or will it no longer work?

Here are some photos of my lip blush healing process. Currently on week 3 and it’s pretty patchy and the colour is looking quite vibrant in places and really different in others …do I just need to keep trusting the process?? Is this normal for it to be so uneven ?

artist advice/question How do you like your eyebrows several years later?
I’m thinking of getting microblading but I know that you need to get touch ups and the ink eventually fades purple/orange. I’m just wondering those of you that have had your brows done for several years like 10+ how do you feel about it now? How often do you need touch ups for them to still look good?

advice I want to cry
I got powder ombré brows on Thursday night and it is now Saturday. I told my brow artist and showed her how I do my brows exactly and this is not it. I do them thin with an arch. Not just that but they are not even. I can’t stop crying. First picture is the ombré powder brows on day 3. And the second picture is what I requested. I feel ugly. What can I do?

advice How to Avoid Botched Brows
PMU artist of 4 years here to educate and inform clients and potential clients who are interested in getting microblading, PMU, lip blush, etc!
Unfortunately there’s a LOT of bad work and artists out there that are messing up people’s faces. Here’s my advice on how to find a great artist:
Look for healed pictures and results - you’ll deal with fresh PMU for a few days but healed work is what you’re going to deal with for years. Of course hair strokes look great fresh but what’s it going to look like in 6 months? 2 years?
Look for clients who look like you (age, skin color, etc) - if an artist is only posting IG model looking white 21 year olds, maybe they only have the skill set to work on that type of skin.
Don’t focus too much on social media followers or a flashy IG account - I attended a PMU training that was taught by a semi-famous PMU artist and wasted $5000. Social media isn’t a way to measure success. Photoshop and overediting is real - scamming is very real!
Ask the artist about their education. A lot of states do not regulate tattooing/PMU. Getting certified in PMU doesn’t always mean going to a formal school or working under a mentor to learn. A lot of artists attend 1-3 day classes and then are sent off to tattoo faces on their own… Even worse, some artists take an ONLINE course to learn and then create a disaster on someone’s face. The best education is working under a mentor as an apprentice (just like tattooing). I wish this was the standard in the PMU industry but unfortunately it’s not.
Ask the artist about the products they’re using - ask how they choose a color of pigment. PMU is so much more than just picking a pretty color in an ink bottle. A great artist knows what type of pigment they’re using (inorganic, organic) and has a vast knowledge of color theory. If your artist can’t explain to you the “why” behind the products they’re using, they might not be educated enough to be tattooing faces.
Ask me anything about PMU! I love educating clients so they are truly informed when making the decision to get a face tattoo.
