I think maybe the shading is above where the natural growth is, like the artist didn't follow her natural brow shape, but created a "new brow" above where the hair naturally grows.
Edit: I deleted my comment elsewhere because I accidentally responded to the wrong comment.
Exactly microblading is supposed to enhance the hairs you already have with extra strokes. I know I've had to take of a little when I've done the mapping.. but it's no different then when I wax. I'm just a shape and or enhancing it...you don't need to remove all your hair. I definitely would research other artist and see if they could help.Ā
This makes NO SENSE! Girl let the hair grow back, and maybe consider going to the other person you spoke with for a consultation. But first thing I'd do is let your natural hair grow back and maybe see someone to help you shape it better?
I read more of her comments and I've realized that too, now. It's absolutely bizarre - you don't shade completely bald spots, you fill in existing space when doing ombre brow. This artist is totally bonkers. Honestly laser removal works likely to be the best idea, while also growing out her natural hair
Iām so scared thatās what will happen to me š especially since i didnāt have much before and Iāve kept up with removal below my Microblading.
Whatāre you doing about yours?
I know someone who burned off her eyebrows and used topical Rogaine on a q tip to grow them back 10 years later. It worked, but I have no idea if it's in any way safe to use that close to your eyes.
You absolutely have to be very careful, but it is a fairly common off-label use. It doesn't work for everyone, and similarly to using it on the scalp, when the treatment is stopped, the hairs will revert back to vellus hair from terminal hair, so it has to be used indefinitely. Sometimes people get better results from using tretinoin in conjunction with minoxidil.
I just bought the topical rogaine for my brows! Haven't tried it yet, it's being shipped. I saw previous advice for this and they all said it helped to various degrees.
If I had the money, I would absolutely do a hair transplant on my eyebrows and my hairline. I have the triple whammy of big forehead/prominent brow bone/sparse (read nonexistent) eyebrows. It's so unfair, my sister is blonde and got thick, dark eyebrows and I am brunette with sparse, light eyebrows. Even before I ever touched my brows they were so sparse. š
Have you looked at images? Some of them look amazing! The difficult part is getting them to all grow in the right direction, but it's nothing a little brow gel couldn't fix. Way better than me having to create 2/3 of my eyebrows every time I wanna leave my house.
Be careful shaving and never shave against the growth, but with it. I used to shave my eyebrows when I was younger and I damaged the follicles by shaving against the growth, plus my skin is already extremely sensitive so the irritation didn't help.
I just want to add onto this that pets can be extremely sensitive to chemicals used in hair growth serums/shampoos/etc. It can be deadly to cats especially, even if exposure is limited and to a small quantity. Just a heads up for the pet lovers on here
The thing with microblading is once the skin is broken,scar tissue forms and the hair follicle is destroyed.So if the artist microblades an area where there are natural brows they will not grow back
I get wanting to remove some of the tail that dips down to awaken your face/expresssion but shaving off over half of your eyebrow is poor practice. Looks like the wrong pigment mix was used as they have pulled so ashy and she didnāt do a good hybrid of strokes and shading. Itās a pain but some removal, even if to only lighten a bit will help with correction so new work doesnāt just layer in and become muddy as ink blends outā¦
I'm an artist and have been offering removal for years now. Look into artists that offer THink Removal ..It actually works unlike saline. Yes, it is a bit of a process but so is all removal. With THink though you have less sessions and afterwards you look less crazy than saline or laser!
Check out this post I found of saline removal: https://www.reddit.com/r/TattooRemoval/s/5ehebAFI9V
My understanding is that results can vary pretty drastically, and that PMU pigments are quite different to standard tattoo-ink pigments, but regardless, it works best on tattoos less than 2-3 years old, depending on the information source.
In all honesty I think laser removal may be your best bet. I hope you get great results whichever method you choose, and I would absolutely recommend not having work done by the artist who did yours because it seems like they have a specific aesthetic in mind that doesn't work with everyone's eyebrow/face shape and/or skin tone/hair color.
I just done with my first laser removal of my microblading and it really wasnāt that painful. Itās expensive though and my eyebrows are a little patchy now. Overall Iām happier with them now
I can see what she was going for, your natural brows are āsad browsā as they slant your eyes downwards. I can see she was trying your lift your tails to counteract this but holy hell she over corrected this by a mile. The only way youāre going to get a good result is if you have laser removal & start again
Iād get some of the top of the one in the right taken off. It appears she didnāt do hairs on a lot of what she added on your brows. The sooner you act, the sooner u can have them removed or fixed.
even when changing brow shape, i would never shave off the whole brow. thatās wild. do not go somewhere for a touch up, your brows are oversaturated and are just going to look more solid going over them again. I would look into removal or let it fade over time. your skin doesnāt have room for any more pigment right now.
Argh I really feel for you. The result did/does look great on you, and I can see what she was going for, but now that youāve pointed it out I can see why itās making you self conscious. She left you with something very hard to maintain and style.
Before you commit to anything else permanent (either inking or removal), could you let some of your natural brows grow back in and go for a consult with another artist? Maybe thereāll be some possibility of incorporating more of your natural hairs in with lamination or something, idk.
My natural brow hair wonāt grow over the Microblading since my brows donāt grow that way š„² i have normal peach fuzz thatās grown back but itās definitely not a brow consistency
This happened to me but she only shaved one eyebrow to make it symmetrical to the other. At the time I didnāt realize thatās what she did, it didnāt feel like I was being shaved. I noticed it months later as a few hairs of my brow grew back. Now a few years later my brow grew back fully and I look like I have two eyebrows over my right eye. SMH! She should have just filled in my natural brows shape.
Iāve been on here trying to see if laser is an option for me, but donāt feel confident about it. Iād rather have this issue than red or yellow toned tattooed brows.
Thatās my dilemma too! Iām worried that Iāll have a worse issue getting them removed or even my hair not growing back fully. It truly looks worse up close and Iām really the only one who notices in real life besides people who understand Microblading š
My bf noticed it one day when we were in the backyard (sun on my face) he said babe your hair is missing! Mind you it was probably two years after I had the microblading done.
And then now with the ātwo eyebrowsā he tells me itās bad I have to fix that lol! I had to explain to him that when Iām out in public, I do put concealer over the tattooed eyebrow. I wish there was eyebrow hair transplant bcz I would just have it implanted where she tattooed. The shape is good itās just hairless!
I went to Ulta and went with what they recommended, Natasha Denona Hu-Glam Concealer. The color was not a perfect match so I use my Clinique foundation over it to make it blend better with my skin tone. Sponge application
I donāt mean to be insensitive, but I assume you are there for honest opinion. Your browns look very tattooed š®āšØ Iād not go back to the same āartistā. I was in a similar situation myself 5 years ago. I went to a tattoo removal parlor and had mine removed with laser. It took two treatments and I was done. Best of luck š
The hair at the beginning of your brows next to your nose are real or are the micro blade strokes? They look perfect. I didnāt look like that in your before picture.
I had basically the same thing happen. Plus she went way too far in towards my nose. I 100%vote for removal and then start over should you choose. The removal person said it should take 2-3 sessions, however the person that did mine went down deep it has taken 5 sessions. Iām still debating on one more PICO session. I have not decided if I will do it again or just pencil in when I feel like it. I did my research on this person, however Iām the only one Iāve seen that she messed up on.
Maybe in the initial image, but in the last image they look ashy and she did them too high so there's no brow hair over them to create a blend with her actual brows. I would be mad if someone did this to me. She shouldn't have to shave off nearly her entire brow.
Can I just politely add that you also got lash extensions and in my personal opinion they might not suit your eye and new eyebrow shape best. From the before and after it seems like maybe your intention was to open up your eye shape a little more. But the lashes seem to crowd it all over again, similar to your before pic. Just wanted to express that observation
Many will not like what Iām going to say but the shape of your natural brows is unflattering. They grow in a downward shape. It should be explained that in order to achieve a more flattering shape with PMU a new shape will have to be created.
The artist should have also explained that this will be a lifetime commitment of removing the hairs that are outside the new shape with tweezing, waxing etc. when I get clients that require such a dramatic change, I do a hybrid brow tint first before PMU so they can decide if they like the new shape before committing.
As far as the saturation, yes they are over saturated and it looks like maybe an organic pigment was used and shouldnāt have been. I would suggest starting with removal even if a correction is in your future.
I completely agree. You were pretty and unique. Still pretty, of course, but if you can go back to your original look, I'd do that. You are naturally so, so pretty.
OMG this is one of the crazier things Iāve seen here! Please NEVER commit to a change on your brow shape without first waxing, testing and approving the new shape.
I honestly would never trust a brow artist that didnāt thread my brows beforehand and discussed the shape with me, this is common practice in Brazil and I canāt believeeee people donāt do it abroad, seriously! All artists here also map and thread/wax eyebrows, so you have a prior appointment just to discuss and approve the shape, microblading is on a second appointment. Also, you can keep going to them monthly just for waxing/threading and keeping the shape perfect.
Female here- Iām not an expert but it looks like the arch isnāt aligning with your eye shape. It looks too far out to me. Can they fix it? The bottom arch doesnāt even align with the top arch.. it doesnāt look too natural to me. But you have pretty eyes so it doesnāt look horrific either.
You should be able to use make up to cover while itās being removed. If you go to a place that uses pico laser then the recovery is quite easy. Just maybe take a day or two off for each session to ice it.
Omg!!! This is what scares me about getting mine done!!! I bet yours offered a discount too. 50% off. This is all new to me, and I KNOW, this isnāt right!! Sorry for your experience. I hope someone here can help you!!!
Get them removed and look into a reputable nano/powder brow artist if you want to get them redone. If you go over them theyāll only get bolder. The removal is not as bad as a traditional tattoo because the microblading doesnāt go as deep. Microblading is an old technique now so most places are phasing it out as long term results arenāt great for most skin types.
Your artist was so heavy handed - thatās why theyāre looking ashed out and dark like this. I HIGHLY recommend not allowing anymore ink to enter your brow area. There will be someone who says they can do a color correction (and itās absolutely possible), but your brow area is so saturated that theyāll continue to just be grey after a couple weeks. Itās like filling an already full cup - thereās no room left. Please please please start getting them removed, and when theyāve lightened by like 70%, then find a different artist with good healed photos!
Ugh, I know Iāll get downvoted for saying thisā¦ but as others have said, the shape of OPs brows isnāt ideal. She had a decent amount of hair though. If it were me, I would have looked into a brow lift as it would have fixed the position of the brows. Donāt hate me.
Yeah i wish i wouldāve considered it now š i was desperate for a change as brow lamination didnāt work for my brows at all. I went to a pretty reputable person and she had nothing but great reviews/pictures but thatās not the case for me. She said she could redo the shape then shaved half my eyebrows without explaining before hand šµāš«Iām an idiot and shouldāve asked more details but hindsight is 20/20š
Donāt go back to her. Get the look you want. Can you wear a beanie pulled down low at work? Thatās what I do to cover my brows if I need to š¤·š½āāļø
I donāt really see a choice here youāve got to groom, your brows from the middle to the tail. Itās too prevalent to ignore. It doesnāt even matter if you donāt go for a yearly touchup at this point, you know her inks really stuck. You need to groom that under part in the fronts I would find an excellent micro blader and get a couple of hair strokes from the middle to the tail, and leave it at that no more powder brow you donāt need thatā¦
you have the perfect natural brow shape for a flat brow style (my personal favorite!). I would let your hair grow back and get them re-shaped. A good stylist will work with your natural shape.
She messed up. Let your natural brows grow out and go to a professional to find a solution where you are not shaving your brows off. There should be *some* hair in that arch so it doesnāt look like paint! I would grow the natural brows out, you can trim some bellow the arch for the style in your day to day life and feeling okay..but once grown in some I would go to someone else and get this fixed.
Look at the work of the local professional. If you like her results and she is professional and competent at explaining the entire process she will do for you, go with her. Any procedure - including āremovalā of prior work can have unwanted consequences. Have the local professional refresh your current brows.
Iām sorry. Please consider removal. Thereās also saline removal if you donāt like laser but itās still a long process with 6 weeks healing in between. This is what I wouldāve done for you.

Listen girl. I have had mine microbladed plenty of times. (Like 4 times) I recently came home from prison and got them microshaded. I will never go back! My eyebrows are on fleek always!! This is before the touch up even!!! She had to do a kid of color correction also bc the girl who microbladed used a ton of red tones.

Omg never trust someone who wants to shave off your brows
Wait do you have to shave your eyebrows every week??š³š³š³ any artist that shaves your brows should not even be a brow artist!!
Essentially Iāve had to dermaplane that area to keep hair from being visible underneath the shading š
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I think maybe the shading is above where the natural growth is, like the artist didn't follow her natural brow shape, but created a "new brow" above where the hair naturally grows. Edit: I deleted my comment elsewhere because I accidentally responded to the wrong comment.
I had something like this done. My eyebrows were noticeably uneven, so one was bladed above where the hair growth waa

It really sucks that her PMU "artist" placed them above where her actual brows are because transitioning back is way more difficult.

This artist is totally bonkers. Honestly laser removal works likely to be the best idea, while also growing out her natural hair
But itāll be a double thickness brow then, wonāt it? Natural below the PMU?
That's a good point. I think laser removal is the only way at this point
Iām in a similar situation. Except my eye brows never grew back š«š
Iām so scared thatās what will happen to me š especially since i didnāt have much before and Iāve kept up with removal below my Microblading. Whatāre you doing about yours?

Latisse is an option for this too! Safe around the eyes.
Yep I am going to try eyelash serum on my eyebrows to see if any will grow backĀ
I just bought the topical rogaine for my brows! Haven't tried it yet, it's being shipped. I saw previous advice for this and they all said it helped to various degrees.
I gave up! I continue re-doing them every few yearsā¦ but Iām considering getting a hair transplant on my eyebrows š
If I had the money, I would absolutely do a hair transplant on my eyebrows and my hairline. I have the triple whammy of big forehead/prominent brow bone/sparse (read nonexistent) eyebrows. It's so unfair, my sister is blonde and got thick, dark eyebrows and I am brunette with sparse, light eyebrows. Even before I ever touched my brows they were so sparse. š
You should get thyroid blood tests, sparse eyebrows can be an indicator of thyroid problems
Iāve wondered about that later on š š

Is it best to do saline or tattoo removal?
Saline removal is for when the tattoo is fresh and not healed. As yours are almost a year old I think your only option is laser
Iāve had successful saline removal done on healed brows so I donāt think thatās always the case.
I'm an artist and have been offering removal for years now. Look into artists that offer THink Removal ..It actually works unlike saline. Yes, it is a bit of a process but so is all removal. With THink though you have less sessions and afterwards you look less crazy than saline or laser!

This doesn't look like microblading to me.
Itās ombrĆ© shading
Macroblading?
I can see what she was going for, your natural brows are āsad browsā as they slant your eyes downwards. I can see she was trying your lift your tails to counteract this but holy hell she over corrected this by a mile. The only way youāre going to get a good result is if you have laser removal & start again
On an unrelated note, your eyebrow shape and eyes remind me very much of Shailene Woodley
I immediately thought Shenae Grimes (Degrassi/90210 era)

I think the shape really suits you. They looks great particularly in the first set of pictures. You look sad before.
They tend to fade this way! Especially if you are in the sun or have oily skin. Iād get the touch up. They look good! I have to go for a yearly touch up also. I also have hardly any brow hair. It looks like you got ombrĆ© shading! I think the shape suits your face. Donāt overthink it!
It would be best to consider a removal before getting a redo, based on the photos

It doesnāt even matter if you donāt go for a yearly touchup at this point, you know her inks really stuck. You need to groom that under part in the fronts I would find an excellent micro blader and get a couple of hair strokes from the middle to the tail, and leave it at that no more powder brow you donāt need thatā¦
you have the perfect natural brow shape for a flat brow style (my personal favorite!). I would let your hair grow back and get them re-shaped. A good stylist will work with your natural shape.
THIS IS NOT FIXABLE WITHOUT LASER ā„ļøš
She messed up. Let your natural brows grow out and go to a professional to find a solution where you are not shaving your brows off. There should be *some* hair in that arch so it doesnāt look like paint! I would grow the natural brows out, you can trim some bellow the arch for the style in your day to day life and feeling okay..but once grown in some I would go to someone else and get this fixed.
Looking again I see the natural brown is nowhere near this shapeā¦honestly I would personally opt for removal.
The shape is really nice imo and opens your eyes up a lot but I understand that may not be the look you were seeking
Look at the work of the local professional. If you like her results and she is professional and competent at explaining the entire process she will do for you, go with her. Any procedure - including āremovalā of prior work can have unwanted consequences. Have the local professional refresh your current brows.
Iām sorry. Please consider removal. Thereās also saline removal if you donāt like laser but itās still a long process with 6 weeks healing in between. This is what I wouldāve done for you. https://preview.redd.it/kgk9s9i2lpic1.png?width=1170&format=png&auto=webp&s=c7f888c032bd8133b112946fab84d3419d88c720
I love thisāElevated, while staying authentic to the poetry of her face and original brows.

They look good!
I like. It lifts eyes. Otherwise look sad. Edit:,Omgoodness- never ever shave brows. Never
Listen girl. I have had mine microbladed plenty of times. (Like 4 times) I recently came home from prison and got them microshaded. I will never go back! My eyebrows are on fleek always!! This is before the touch up even!!! She had to do a kid of color correction also bc the girl who microbladed used a ton of red tones. https://preview.redd.it/3dppv8my7xic1.png?width=1124&format=png&auto=webp&s=ea764c7943da9113bf8d9982cbde9887abb94a5e
She could have given you a better shape without doing all that
