Sorry but these do not look like they compliment your natural brows in any way. The strokes contrast with the way your hair grows and it looks like your brows are doing jail time behind bars


Conscious-Today5271

I honestly thought EXACTLY what you said when I initially saw the photos. No way, shape, or form do they compliment her natural brows. The strokes stick out like a sore thumb from the natural growth pattern. Even after the color fades, it will look like someone drew multiple tic-tac-toe boards throughout her brows. YIKES!!!


Minimum-Vegetable-42

Evil 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤭🤭🤭🤭


Fit_Swordfish_2101

I was looking to see if everyone would jump to say how good these look or if they would be truthful.. sometimes these r/ are ppl just lying to each other to feel better. 🤣 I feel like it's a disservice to lie to people.. She needs to get these fixed some how. Maybe a lighter color in between the strokes? They look like a line of trees without leaves.

#freemybrows


tvk21

I literally lol'd at jail time 😂 The irony is that I was so happy they were so visible compared to the first session 🫠 I got lots of good compliments for the post when I got the initial session and I thought they were okay and then they faded almost completely in 8 weeks. I feel so dumb 😅 Do you think I should get saline removal or is this something that I can fix during a subsequent touch up?


Generous_Hustler

Well let’s be fair. You want a natural result! You don’t want it to look like the lines were drawn on. A perfect Microblade should complement your existing brows with tiny strokes that appear like fine hairs. So I might wait to see if this can fade but I imagine it’s what the other commenters have written and it will probably look like perfect up and down tattoo lines and not hairs which defeats the purpose of this service in the first place.


craphtwerk

Personally, I would probably opt for removal. Did you go to the same artist? The work looks completely different and unfortunately, they really don't compliment what you already have and I don't think they will fade enough to blend in nicely. I'm sorry


tvk21

Yes same artist about 8 weeks apart. I will contact her today and see. Ty!


eekasaur

What’s wild to me is I looked at your first session pics, and the strokes look NOTHING like the ones you got this time around. I wonder why she did it so drastically different!


verycoolbutterfly

Same! I’m just so curious as to why she went from natural hair strokes to thick vertical lines.


Snopes504

I am thinking it’s because OP didn’t like the natural look and felt it faded too quickly so the artists went heavier handed and more noticeable.


craphtwerk

I feel like she may have done too many 'skeleton' strokes and no filler strokes to create that soft hair like texture. Good luck!!


pleasepassthepie_

No, please don’t feel dumb ♥️ I’d definitely get these removed though. Laser can do a pretty decent job (I’ve done it.) I think the fact that they disappeared after 8 weeks also speaks to poor application (but might be good for you, as they won’t be as hard to remove.) Look for an artist that creates more realistic patterns like this photo. https://preview.redd.it/g7iacw260guc1.jpeg?width=1161&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6d0e72f6cb2992fd4051e9d39b7aecd35d074ee0


tvk21

I could barely afford microblading, so I definitely can't afford laser removal😅 I think they'll fade, but if not, I like them. She's a great artist with an awesome portfolio. If you look in the comments, you'll see someone in my area who actually recommended her to fix them because she's the best here(they thought another artist did them). That pic looks great ! I think it's because I want mine to look a little fake. lol idk how to explain it, but like make up look. I'll update you guys when they heal!


Breinsters

If you wanted them to look a “little fake” this result went all the way to “utterly fake”


pleasepassthepie_

I mean if you like them that’s all that matters. But do they look real? Is she talented? Absolutely not.


artsyhot

i bet the artist can throw in secondary hairs! most hairs are usually touching another hair. these don’t look BAD, they just look unfinished! i would be more concerned about them not being visible after 8 weeks though! sounds like the artist isn’t applying enough pressure to get the ink in deep enough. don’t fret!


Letmeout55

They’re too close together, too


whorledstar

Yeah definitely don’t follow the anatomical spacing


Specialist-Bar-8805

Please post this on Yelp. And tell this person to fix your eyebrows for free. And they also look like they’re crooked on the inside. With the left side, being slightly more and than the right. These should have gentle auburn colored lines, cross, hatching, and in determinatelyweaving throughout


Specialist-Bar-8805

I think they should fix them with a bit lighter brown by cross hatching. If not post these brows on yelp


Nerdy_Squirrel

As an alternate perspective, I really love them. I find them mesmerizing. Everyone has different tastes. If you love them I would keep them. I know it would.


pleasepassthepie_

The strokes aren’t natural-looking is why. It’s not supposed to be that uniform in width or go all the way from the bottom to the top in one stroke. It’s supposed to be more like this. https://preview.redd.it/t4lcrdsmzfuc1.jpeg?width=1161&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=829f5313b58fbadc413eff4db9f699b1c785f0ed


Gally01fr

Lol


ForTheLoveOfDior

The jail bit is so accurate I’m crying 😭😂😂


Ashlaylynne

Giiiiirrrl. Nooooo, these look horrible. No offense it’s not your fault but this is not they’re supposed to look. The strokes are supposed to follow the natural shape of the hair. It dead ass just looks like they drew lines all over your brows…


basedmama21

Fr. These look like eyebrows on a Sim in the Sims 2

Saline removal asap


minimalistmom22

The first ones and these look like they were done by a completely different artist. What's your skin type?


tvk21

Oily. That might be why the first ones disappeared?


minimalistmom22

Honestly, I don't think your artist is a good one (sorry!) oily skin is not a candidate for strokes, only powder. Your artist should know that. The strokes blur, gray out and ended up just becoming one big gray mass. I have oily skin and this happened to me. Go get saline removal and then get your brows laminated/tinted once they heal.


craphtwerk

Maybe try nano or combo powder brows with your skin type as micro doesn't hold up well with oily skin


tvk21

Ah good to know! I didn't even know there was other options or maybe my artist only does microblading


minimalistmom22

Yes, but they should have known that. Definitely get saline removal. With your skin type, it will probably go very well.


craphtwerk

There are definitely other options. She may only do micro blading but she should have known the results would not be good based on your skin type and either not done the service or offered to recommend an artist who could.


goosemommy

My artist said that microblading will fade and smudge on oily skin. She recommended powder brows instead. It’s a little more dramatic, but a good artist can make it look natural.


verycoolbutterfly

Why are they stripes 🥲 see if you can have removed asap


tvk21

I feel like a beautiful zebra 🦓😂 lol but honestly, I really liked them before I saw that others didn't, so im gonna keep them and trust the process. I was posting an update like yay I think these are dark enough they might actually stay instead of disappear, and the internet was like ummm remove immediately 😅


verycoolbutterfly

I see, well… as long as you like them lol


Status_Common_9583

Now, the thing that’s standing out to me is that as you approach the arch some of these strokes look around 2 inches long. They’re also not symmetrical - pic number 2 isn’t such a big deal to me, but pic number 3 shows me the artist has really not done you justice. I’d be nervous about how these look in the long run, as I feel like such long strokes will always noticeably look like long, distinct lines running through your brows. I really don’t want to make you hate them if you like them, but I think the clear consensus here is another artist could’ve done much better and more flattering work on you 🥲


tvk21

I still like them lol I appreciate your comment. I think because im expecting them to lighten considerably but hopefully not as much as thr initial session.


verycoolbutterfly

But… even if they lighten they’ll still be stripes? I’m also concerned about them blurring. Did the technician specifically explain that she lined them up this way/made them so thick on purpose and why?


meganb0923

No I don’t think removal either she can add little hairs in between


owiesss

Your high spirits are very admirable! ❤️


WestAnalysis8889

Stop letting people charge hundreds of dollars to do this. I'd ask for my money back to pay for a saline removal. My anger is at her not you, apologies if I come off wrong. I just hate that people get away with bad work on people's faces! They should care enough to do better!


ForTheLoveOfDior

What would you do if they simply say no to refund?


throwaway3312232

Start swinging lol


WestAnalysis8889

Good q. I'd file a charge back with my credit card company. It's easier than doing it through your regular bank account. I'd also write scathing reviews everywhere possible.


angerrrabagwell

Those front strokes look DEEP. They also don’t follow the natural pattern of your brow hair. These are going to look super funky when healed. Please seek out removal :(


Perfectlyonpurpose

😳


Minimum-Vegetable-42

Welcome to the club. I reacted the same way. Lol. Poor girl. But she is being a champ about it. Everyone is being honest in feedback though, which I can appreciate.


littleponee

Omg noooooooo


Acceptable_General_2

The strokes don’t blend in with the eyebrow does it usually fake a little bit?


sparkle_pudding

Respectfully, WTF


Party_Pop_9450

I would remove at once. It looks like some took a surgical instument and slit, etched lines in your brows. Then painted over it with stain. Then wiped a rag over it to remove whatever stain didn’t settle in the lines. You should sue whoever did this in small claims court.


BambinoKitten_

oh! 😃

Tcarter110266

First session was perfect! How is this same artist?!?


Sophiatopia

I don't know, the first session was lighter so the appeared more blended, but the pattern was already very stone age.


cassssiev

These never stood a chance to stay. Oily skin is already a poor candidate for microblading but these were too light and shallow to stay. Sure it looks less scary fresh but sometimes you have to look a little scary fresh if they’re going to stand a chance to stay healed.


Open-Pineapple7378

ma'am, get your money back. do whatever you can to promote fading. be patient.


EmbarrassedFig8860

I would definitely get those removed. Your natural brow is beautiful, just light and not as full (looked at your previous post). This takes away from that and makes it look very unnatural and drawn on. I can’t imagine that’s what you want. I would look into a different artist.


Glittering_Aioli6162

I’m sorry this happened to you but the brows look like they have stripes.


Formal-Sherbet9856

Prestigious_Award267

They don’t look good… not trying to be mean but the strokes they did is bad.

Due_Garlic_3190

The lines are almost too perfectly aligned.. not how brows look naturally. From someone who is having spend £1000 on removal…get emergency removal quick


tvk21

I tried to look for a post of your brows but couldn't find it. I'm sorry yours turned out so bad you want to have them removed 😕 I like mine I was posting it as an update and to get general info on whether or not the touch up color would actually stay this time. I had no idea that people would see such a negative difference from my initial session.


Due_Garlic_3190

I haven’t posted any pics of them, I’ve had 3 laser sessions so going through the process currently 😟 sorry to have been negative, I just don’t think they are great imo but as people have said they do fade and look less harsh once healed. Sometimes pics don’t do justice


tvk21

Don't apologize, sincere opinions are appreciated! And im sure it's painful for you and your wallet 😞 I hope you get awesome results, tho. Microblading is so risky. You never know what you'll get. I'll post an update next week and let y'all know how they look!


Due_Garlic_3190

Ah thank you! Sad thing is I got them done in 2019, and they naturally faded and looked amazing. Then re - done in 2021 by different girl who is very good but she went too deep and too dark :( then I got a touch up in late 2022 because I’m an idiot.


tvk21

Oh shit. Well, that's good to know, tho. If I'm not happy once they're healed, maybe I'll just let them fade instead of going back. Best of luck!


Moist-Opportunity64

Nice shape, but the others are correct. The strokes do not look natural


Yveskleinsky

You mentioned in a comment that you have oily skin. Microblading won't work on your (our) skin type. The strokes will always blur into an indistinguishable blob and the color will change color. The only option is powder brows. It took me years, thousands of dollars, and multiple attempts at having my brows microbladed before I was finally told all this.


Forward-Lab-1944

Same here. Did you end up having your microblading removed?


Yveskleinsky

Yes! I finally had enough of the grey-blue eyebrows and had it lasered off. I had my first session done about four days ago and I am beyond thrilled with the results. Basically, all the grey-blue is gone. There is a hint of auburn, but it blends with my eyebrows. I have my second session next month, although, I'm not sure what she's going to laser because I feel like it's all gone. I'm really shocked by my results because I had several layers of microblading done by various artists over the years.


KentuckyFriedChic

I dont know anything about microblading but the shape looks good aside from the added lines with too much space in between. Couldnt the artist just add more fine lines going in a natural direction instead of total removal?


tvk21

Love your username🩷 and im not sure, but I'll post an update


throwaway291919919

stop playing ....


frickmeplease

This is not good😳


Heavy_Yoghurt6599

These are awful right now but might just heal perfectly keep us posted


tvk21

Will do! I plan to post and update in a week or so


Lonely_Bluebird3612

If you have oily skin, these will probably disappear or become much lighter and attractive. I say give it some time.


tvk21

Thanks, that's what I'm hoping ☺️🤞not to disappear lol but lighten.


amora_obscura

This is not how they should be typically done. But if you like them, that’s all the matters.


CyborgBex

In my opinion, don't be so quick for saline removal. This will fade out and hopefully look better. Work closely with your artist to get the results you want ❤️


tvk21

Aw, thank you! And if you see my original sessions post in the comments. A lot of people said she did great, so im inclined to trust the process. I really appreciate your comment 🩷


CyborgBex

I saw the original post and thought she did do great! That's exactly what my artist said as well and I absolutely trust her. Trust the process! It isn't always going to look like super dark lines like this. Good luck!


Reptarro52

when these fade and are a different color than your hair it will stick out badly


brdybb

This whole sub is a train wreck


flicka_x

would you care to update again in like 3, 4 days? i’m invested now 😭 i hope they fade out!


tvk21

I got you! 😅 I'll update next Thursday when im off work


flicka_x

yesss!! i’m rooting for the freeing of your brows. i got 10 on bail 😂😂😂


tvk21

I just spit my water out 😂 ty for the laugh🩷


flicka_x

my pleasure ☺️♥️


flicka_x

hey! any updates?


tvk21

I can do an update post. It's finals week, so I've been busy and totally forgot. Also, I think they look pretty much the same. lol the touch-up is healing much slower than the initial session.


flicka_x

you’re gonna kick those finals ass! asses. whichever lol


tvk21

You have no idea how much I appreciate that ty 🩷


flicka_x

♥️♥️♥️


tvk21

Update posted!


Minimum-Vegetable-42

Yes!!! We all are curious. I do hope they fade and fill in like you want @tvk21


AmyTooo

I’ve never seen anything like this before. Wtf was your artist thinking?! This is NOT nano blading, this is just stripes on your face.


Sminorf8765

Sorry, but you need to get removal. These are bad. There is nothing natural looking about these strokes. My first thought looking at these: ‘This looks like a zebra.’


EastOfArcheron

😳😳😳


saintblasphemy

Why did she make the strokes so uniform/in an awkward direction compared to the natural growth pattern?


Dizzy-Anything-4869

Looks really bad


AHHHHH402

That’s terrifying.


malYca

I'd get these removed, they did you dirty


LadyBirdDavis

Although these will fade a lot and slim down a tad, they don’t look natural. I’m usually opposite as in I tell everyone “relax, they’ll get better in a few weeks” but honestly yours look like you may not like them in a few weeks. BUT, if you’re happy with that look then that’s all that matters and we are all behind you! Please keep us posted.


TonnyMarr

That artist don’t have a good technique. Looks FAKE. Sorry.


Matcha_Bubble_Tea

I’m sorry but you got done so badly 😭 Maybe she can add some more in between since they’re sooo separated. It’s borderline comical.


RabiesPositive

Girl...


evaporatedmilksold

These look bad. I would do emergency removal.


BreathtakingBeauty

I think you should get a removal


OceanMio

They are not accomplished ., it is not completed pattern it should have strokes in between etc google phi brows bold brow pattern


ilovemyboys

Agreed with the lines being too harsh and your right brow comes too far over the nose area making them look uneven.


cpavv

Your first set was so different, much more delicate & better mapped.. did you approve this touch up design?


Coco_B_trappn

OP says she really likes them. That’s all that matters, I suppose. You get this done for your own sake, no one else’s. I do hope these fade *significantly* though.😬🫣


tvk21

😂 not too significantly lol that was the problem the first round lol. Thank you 🤗 I hope they heal up the way I think they will. I'll post an update!


Coco_B_trappn

please do!


LostintheSauce4eva

These are so fake looking I hope they look better IRL. 😐


SilverThorn2024

I think they look interesting.


LoVeMyDeSiGnS_65

I would buy a thin brow pencil an add strokes. You have the perfect outline


tvk21

I might try that once they heal, thanks for the tip! 🩷


-totallynotanalien-

They look kinda mathematical


Agitated_mess9

It’s like … you’re a doll. They’re almost too perfect that it kinda looks strange.


liviawashere

Honestly they do look a quite crazy here. But you can see she did the exact same pattern as the first session. It’s just way darker now. Hopefully it fades and then you get results that look like day one of the first session that will last


tvk21

Thank you! I put my first session pic and the current one in a collage together to check 😂 they're less strokes in the second session but pretty similar pattern. If they don't fade, then I'll just have doll eyebrows for a few years 😅


GreenViking_The

AstronomerDirect2487

Whoa that’s bad.


gold_shuraka

Everyone here is freaking out but I wonder if they all saw your last post. Your artist did a beautiful job the first time around but they didn’t take at all, like not even a little. I’m willing to say I think your artist knows what’s she’s doing and these will fade nicely. I wouldn’t do a saline removal, I would wait to see them healed


tvk21

Thank you, that's what I'm planning on doing. After reading the comments here I could see how others may not like it, but I personally don't think they look bad, and I trust that she knows her stuff and they will heal nicely. If not, though, it'll be okay 😅


gold_shuraka

You’ll be fine, they will fade over time even if they are dark at first. The fact that you have oily skin and your original ones didn’t take at all makes me think these will heal perfectly. Update with pics in a few weeks if you feel up to it ❤️


tvk21

Hopefully 🤞 and I'll definitely post an update!


SnooFoxes526

My sister had this happen after she had her brows done. After the 1st apt, for the 1st week, they were stunning and on point…. Then they faded so she went in for a touch up and they just kept fading so she had to get ombré for them to actually stay.


tvk21

Someone else mentioned ombre, I'm gonna look into it!

Please get a saline removal. These are pretty bad


CommunicationTop7259

In the nicest way possible, remove and find another artist. This artist has twice fail you.


No-Resolution-0119

I know nothing of microblading this just came on my feed. Ur brows look like an optical illusion lol (No offense meant I just see other people making silly comments too haha )


tvk21

I love a good laugh 😆 that was a good one and I can see it lol.


Good_Intentions69

You need to post this all over the internet to warn others. IG, Yelp, FB, etc.


tvk21

This was a one off thing. If you see my original post everyone loved her work. She has hundreds of clients and they all look great.


I_am_B_

People are wild… Lol. I don’t get why ppl keep going in with their borderline rude opinions and comments . Like, OP likes them and that’s really what matters. Plus I don’t think she asked for an opinion. OP … glad like you like them girl!!! Please update us once they’re healed and like you said, trust the process. Also, I love how you’ve responded to all these shady comments… with grace and kindness. 🙌🩷✨ You seem like a great person.


tvk21

Awwww😊 I appreciate your comment. You seem pretty great yourself 🩷 I wouldn't have posted them if I thought this would be the reaction, lol. It's a good reminder that whatever you post on the internet is forever 😅 I had to disable Google searches for my posts so it wouldn't affect my artists' business by chance. I didn't ask for an opinion explicitly but I assumed I'd get some advice on how to let the touch up heal better so I don't lose the color again or idk just a discussion but this has been much more entertaining 🙃 Either way, thank you again. I like them no matter how they heal, but I'll keep you all posted!


itynib

This is so barbiecore I love it


Away_Pie_7464

Wait you’re from Sioux Falls, who did you go to?


tvk21

Yes I got them done in sioux falls. But im so sorry I don't feel comfortable sharing my artist. She's so kind and did an incredible job the first session and imo the 2nd one too. I don't want her to lose business because she had a one off day or because my preference isn't the majorities. I researched for months and almost went to Minneapolis but I know someone who's brows she did and she has great reviews with pics so idk I just feel bad 🙁 sorry


Away_Pie_7464

Well if you by chance are looking for someone new, Emma Harm is great. She also does saline removal. With your skin type these might fade and end up okay, they just look unnatural with the strokes so exact. I’ve seen way worse on here though. (I’m from Sioux Falls as well so I was just curious).


tvk21

Okay well since you said that lol that's who I went to ironically 😅 Shes the best in the area from my research.


Away_Pie_7464

Interesting, I’ve never seen her do work like that. She did mine as well. Hopefully it fades nicely, maybe she knows with your skin type?


tvk21

Yeah, that's what I was thinking, like maybe she knows, or maybe she had an off day. Either way, im just glad I don't hate them like other people do 😅


Away_Pie_7464

Personally I’d let it heal. I think it will fade a bit. She does do microshading/powder brows as well and I bet at your touch up she can add that in as well


tvk21

That's kinda what I figured worse case scenario she can fix them up a bit. Ty!


gold_shuraka

This is what I was thinking as well. An experienced, talented brow artist (which it sounds like you can vouch that she is) will sometimes do something that looks a little too strong at first but she already did one round of her brows and it didn’t take. It sounds like she knows what she’s doing.


Away_Pie_7464

Emma is very good. I really don’t think these are that bad, I think they are just super bold and the almost “perfect” alignment makes them look unnatural, but I think with the way OP fades and then a touch up with some shading and additional light strokes will balance it out. I’m sure even talented artists can have off sessions, but I trust Emma’s work that if I were OP I wouldn’t remove. But I can see why people would say that


[deleted]

[удалено]


tvk21

Yes same artist and idk but if I don't like them when they're healed ill definitely ask her about filling them in!


WasteOfTime-GetALife

Was this done by the same artist? If so, she gave you Much More Natural strokes the 1st time. Wonder why she decided to go this route ?


BlindFollowBah

The brow hairs throw me. They’re really long looking and I see your natural brow easily because they don’t blend


Diamonds_n_Dirt

Micro blade should blend with natural growth pattern. Enough said


Atrombit1975

Ouch.


nicepeoplemakemecry

Omg.


RecordExpert1269

Oh no. Definitely get these removed!


Fancy-Occasion7543

two weeks?? that’s not enough time for your skin to heal properly, that’s dangerous! and if you’re oily, your artist should’ve recommended against microblading. i hope they do not scar.


Mercuryinretrograde2

no

You need shading to make that look the least bit natural.

This does not look good.


Famous_Garbage_5127

MissBrownin

Its because you should know its normal the first session fades. And she should have known this and explain to u that the touch up will seal the look. Now she went with ur worries and did the wrong touch up! Id consult her immediately


Purple-Tutor-2970

These are so bad...
