Microblading/ Ombre Brows
We'll need some photos of those brows at some point too!!
Day One
Posted by xy_sighI've been wanting to do it but so scared because of the YouTube feedbacks.
Girl I was terrified after all the bad press. Especially the lady who ended up with 4 eyebrows!
I prayed the entire time and will continue to pray for the next 7-10 days.

😂 I have to see that one.
How much did you pay?
From what I heard the outcome depends on the skin type. My face gets oily easily, so it might not be ideal for me but eyebrows make such a big difference.

I got a Christmas deal $ 199 but it doesnt include touch up which is $ 75. So about $ 300.
I have dry to normal skin.
The lady I went to was certified and had good reviews but still everyone is different
If things dont go as planned, it will take almost over a year for the pigment to release.
Day 5 and we're peeling and itching.
Pretty much pain free healing. Even after the numbing agent wore off.
Looks great! My sister is an esthetician and offers this service. If my brows weren’t a Chewbacca caterpillar hybrid I’d do it for sure 😂
Posted by PhangusWhat exactly is microblading? Can someone explain or am I going to have to watch a video?
It's like a 2 year tattoo for eyebrows
Posted by PhoenixStormI had mine done, the healing process is a pain in the ass lol I still haven’t went for my touchup yet
Would you go to the same person?
I think I will change my person. She wasn't really me speed as a person.
Do you think you need the touchup?
Can you tell me about your healing experience?

These look really good! I thought it would be more of a "hairy" kind of look. I like the shape though! Very nice!

the promotions I've seen looked much "hairier" as you mentioned - I wonder what the difference is
good job @OPs - very even

Yup! Similar to this.
Her style reminds me of the tattoos that Asian women do in salons but it still looks nice. Anything is easier then waking up and having to do them everyday!
Well ....
The peeling has occured and there is nothing underneath. Just looks like the before pic.
She said that the color comes back as the skin heals.
But idk. This is kind of a disappointment.
On the bright side, I did find this eyebrow drawing stencil tool that I wanna buy.
Hmmm 🤔 I kinda wanna try this!
That healing stage makes me want to stay clear from it too. Hopefully it won’t last too long 🤞🏾🤞🏾

This was how mine was, this is normal. The pigment does come back a little bit but it’s very faded, so I still need a touchup. Is a touchup included with the original price?

Touch up is $ 75
I guess I won't freak out yet. I will be patient

I don't know what the template is ....but no eyebrows should start with that hard blocked shape, should be more delicate ......feathered. Automatic RBF expression.

That's why I thought it was a tattoo instead of micro blading. As long as OP is happy with the results. It still looks good.

Yeah don’t freak out, this is normal. Doesn’t it itch like crazy tho? I think I hated the way that it felt more than the way that it looked lol I was miserable. I have sensitive skin and cannot stand itching... I wanted to scratch the scabs off 😐

Yes. Itches alot!
I dont pick at the scabs tho.
I really want this to work.
If I do get a touch up, I will go to someone else.

Afraid not ....it's a global trend.
At the very least, I'd want to see their work cataloge ...just as with tattoo artists.
Looks painful, @DMV i hope this pans out for you.

It's a figure of speech
Day 9 - the scabs are all gone. My eyebrows appear darker.
Nope.
Maybe I'm talking out of my ass cause I don't need it. I have full brows with a natural shape, I tweeze it here but I keep it natural.
Not even in my older days will I use this.... Procedure.
Same goes for painted makeup eyebrows.
My worry is that it looks fake cause let's face it... Real eyebrows don't look exactly the same and the hair should look naturally colored.

That's awesome. It would be a helluva lot easier to have my own eyebrows, but here we are.
Such a weird healing process!
Day 18 - it is extraordinary to wake up with eyebrows. They are healing nicely with color. My family even commented on my eyebrows.
I'm a believer.

I finally made the decision to get this done.
The process....about 3 hours.
35 mins to initially numb the area
2.30 procedure
You will feel the needle at first. Feels like a lil electric shock. Tolerable especially if you have a tattoo.
Once the skin is broken, a second numbing agent is applied. After that, you feel nothing.
After finished, she applied a final numbing gel.
2 hours later, its wearing off.
Slight discomfort.
I also got my wisdom tooth pulled so I have alot going on anyways. All the pain is mixing together.
Will update after day 4.
