Loreal did my microblading and microshading. She was very nice and tells you what she's going to do step by step. My eyebrows turned out amazing.
It took 3 hours to finish.
It was my first time doing those and was kind of nervous because of the anticipation of the pain. Loreal told me color depend on my hair color. She didn't let me choose the color. She talked me through the process. She first measured and aligned my eyebrows so it's symmetrical. She didn't shade it for me to see how it looked. It was just lines that she drew. However, she asked me if I liked how it looked with the lines before starting the microblading.
She did the microblading the first round and told me that it feels like getting eyebrow threaded. And then the 2nd and 3rd time around she put the numbing cream. The numbing cream did work but there were some parts of my eyebrows that really hurt when she microbladed the 2nd and 3rd time around. The 3rd round, she did microshading. I'd wish maybe there were more numbing cream around the edges of eyebrows so it covers more area. A few times when she was microblading her hands were on top of my eye ball and eyelid which made my eyes really uncomfortable and become teary. I know she probably needs the skin to be tight to get accurate strokes, but wish it was more gentler. Even with the numbing cream the blade that was digging into my skin hurt so so so much!! I was sweating with the light that's so close to my face and with the pain with each etch of the blade into areas of my skin that wasn't numb. However, at times she would ask how I'm feeling or if anything is uncomfortable and would adjust her hand in a different position. I wished how she positioned her hands would not dig and put pressure into my eyeballs.
She uses bright lights so just beware it gets hot esp when it would hurt every time the blade dug into the areas were it wasn't numb. So I suggest wearing light and comfortable clothes. I wished she could have turned off the lights when letting the eyebrows set or numb during process.
In the end, she gave me instructions and a little kit for after care. However, she didn't explain anything to me and just told me to look at the card. I wished she explained more about it. I read the card at home and was still confused. So I googled a lot of different after care instructions on YouTube and Google. Loreal did text me how my brows were doing and if I had any questions. When I told her what I was doing as after care because I didn't know and wasn't explained to me, she told me I should have asked her. So, she then told me instructions for aftercare.
My eyebrows turned out really good!!! I really like the shape and color!!! Everything was symmetrical and the thickness was what I wanted. I had to get use to it since the first day it's a really dark color, but after 4th or 5th day (for me), it's better.
I like that she has music throughout the session. Made me relax.
