| - Mine is a story of 'buyer beware.' I have very fine eyebrow hairs and went to Julia for microblading in the hopes of having beautiful, hassle-free eyebrows. The result is that I am emotionally distraught and aesthetically maimed with mis-matched eyebrows now because of Julia's work.
I take responsibility for not doing significantly more research before deciding on someone to do my microblading, or I certainly would not have selected Julia. She lacks close-up photos of her work, has only 3 reviews on Yelp, and not many more on her website where she can cherry-pick the best ones. But shame on Julia for trying to convince me that her microblading on my brows looked great, and that what I was seeing in the mirror was "just a reflection" and not what my brows really looked like. Her analysis would be laughable if it was not so flawed and deeply upsetting.
I last saw Julia about a month ago for a touch-up to the original work where she promised to "even out my brows and make them perfect." She did not improve the mismatched shapes at all, but only made them darker which I did not want. Since then I have had numerous consulting appointments with professional microbladers and have heard a consistent theme to date... that my brows are definitely mismatched with one having a high arch mid-way in the brow, while the other is relatively flat with a rounded arch at the end; additionally, I've been told the brows are over-saturated so that the individual hairs are not visible which is the whole point of microblading to achieve natural looking brows.
I can only pray that my brows lighten and completely disappear over the next few years. At that point, if they have not completely faded, I will need to resort to time-consuming and expensive saline treatments to remove Julia's work before I can have my brows properly microbladed.
In the meantime, each morning I must re-shape each brow with a brow pencil to get a closer match so that I'm not embarrassed to go out. Needless to say, the past several months have been emotionally devastating to me and I don't know what the future holds.
Julia has offered to "fix my brows" if I come in for a third appointment. In my opinion I would be crazy to let her work on me again given the outcome of my first two visits. The damage is done.
Buyer beware.
