How did you find your experience at NAAMA?

The team at NAAMA understood me, which is the most important thing. Before NAAMA, every other place that I spoke to seemed quite hesitant. I suggested to one that they laser the tattoo bit and leave the microblading, but there was a risk that it could result in hair loss. I went to NAAMA for a consultation, and we talked through the process. They suggested that I take away the parts of the microblading that I didn’t like and leave the bits I did.

How does it feel like now that your microblading is almost gone?

I had never had any problem before with microblading, but this new technique was different. I wouldn't let anyone use any combination of microblading and tattooing on my eyebrows ever again. I was so uncomfortable with the results of it. Lots of people kept saying, “they're not that bad. You don't need to remove your microbladed brows.” But that was part of the problem; some removal places I went to speak to didn't understand why I would get them removed. They were the classic kind of Instagram eyebrow, but I just didn't like them on me. Now I feel so much more comfortable in my own skin.

What results did you see?

I saw instant results and the biggest change from session one to two. The dye mixture they microbladed with to get the right shades began to break down and the dark pigment lightened. If you look at my previous pictures, my eyebrows really did look solid. Then between each session, they’ve gradually changed as the different red and yellow dye pigments started to break down. Now my eyebrows have a very slight shade to them as opposed to looking solid and extreme. I’m even happy to walk around without makeup on.

How did you find the removal process? Was it painful?

No, not really. I've had laser hair removal and it's not as painful as that. That was kind of my barometer. The difference from my first to my second session was so big, that it immediately felt rewarding.
