I feel bad writing this because Montana was so sweet, nice, clean and professional with me, but I am unhappy with my eyebrows.
She didn't seem to measure my face/eyebrows with exact measurements like I have seen others do. It left me with a really nice eyebrow and a bad one. The width of the eyebrows is the same, but on my right eye, the strokes start up slightly higher then on the left and they go above my hair line. It looks so weird especially after a few months even with eyebrow make up. The middle of my eyebrows also come in considerably shorter on one side.
When she did the drawing first, I said the inside looks weird on one of the sides and she said that's because I have more hair there. I didn't notice the height difference because I was concerned with the middle of my brow. When it was healed, it still looked shorter because the strokes are much thicker and intense then my little hairs. It wasn't fixable at the touch up appointment because it would have made the height difference more obvious. When one thing is misplaced it's a domino effect for the rest of the brow.
The strokes healed on me (and on others on her instagram) reaaaally thick, thicker then other artists, so if the stroke is where you have no hair it is really obvious.
I have had one laser tattoo removal session at VCI, it cost me $600 and I need 3-5 more sessions for it to be completely gone. You can get it cheaper, but I'm scared cheapo laser places will make my hairs fall out permanently. My schedule and budget cannot allow for me to continue laser at this point so I look ugly with a bare face. But it is light enough for me to cover with makeup now.
I don't think I will get microblading in general again after this. I noticed it makes girls look more masculine without makeup anyway.. with the heavy brows and bare eyes. Unless I had legit no eyebrows I wouldn't get it. You can be beautiful with sparse eyebrows. Look at Bella Hadid and Karlie Kloss.
BTW: No microblading artist seems to make this clear enough but they are NOT semi permanent. All cosmetic tattooing leaves something behind forever. I can tell with me some spots have entered very deep layers of my skin.
My advice if you are considering microblading: Try improving your skin, weight (baby face), teeth and hair before getting microblading, you will be a lot prettier with those and you probably won't feel like you need it. Experiment with professional eyebrow shaping and tinting too.
If you still want it, research the best artists in your country/city, and make sure you LOVE them, not just that they are 'good enough' or the best you can find at this time. And make sure they post pictures of both eyebrows together. A lot only take a pic of one brow, or both brows on an angle because they aren't symmetrical enough. Be very very picky and take your time analysing the drawing of your eyebrows before your artist starts microblading. Good luck. read more
