Eyebrows are, in my opinion, the most important feature of a face. They shape the face, convey expression, and allow me to say things like "eyebrows on fleek" (because when else would I, a 34 year old woman, be able to use the word "fleek"). My eyebrows have gone through it all - they've been plucked, waxed, shaved, tinted, and threaded. I participated in the Kate-Moss-eyebrow fad, and my eyebrows never fully recovered. Mine are sparse in areas, and the shape was never fully realized. I became fairly decent at drawing on brows, but whenever I wasn't wearing eyebrow makeup, I felt self-conscious, and unattractive... unkempt, I guess. I pretty much didn't go in public without doing my brows.
Enter K Beauty Brows and wonderful Hae, an eyebrow artist! I arrived at her salon, which was clean and cute, and she got right to work. She explained everything and answered any questions I had, and then began measuring and doing other scientific things to find out where my eyebrows should be, how far they should extend, where the arch should be, etc. She took this very seriously, which I very much appreciated, and took time to redo things as needed so we would get the best results. She showed me her plans in the mirror, I approved, and it was go time!
The tools used look scarier than they end up feeling, for anyone freaked out. Hae told me she was starting the microblading process, and after a couple minutes I asked if she had started yet (she had) because it was so painless! She uses a numbing gel, and can always add more if needed. For the most part, the microblading/microshading work was noticeable but not painful - a 1 on a scale of 1 to 5 (5 being most painful). I would say the most painful part was when Hae had to put slight pressure on my eye to get a good angle!
It's now been two weeks since I got my new brows, and I'm so so happy. They healed quickly; a little bit of flaking and soreness but they are fully healed now and faded to a beautiful color and natural intensity. Hae gives you an after-care kit with everything you need for proper healing. I have never worn much makeup, but as mentioned earlier, I always did my eyebrows. Not anymore!! I can't explain the feeling of waking up, brushing my teeth and washing my face - that's it for my morning routine! Quick run to grocery store? Not a problem because I look cute. Guy I'm dating sleeps over? Awesome because I look cute when I wake up. Warning - you're going to take more selfies now because how good you look with your eyebrows on fleek.
