Woman left with huge "scary" eyebrows after botched microblading treatment
Crystal Weinstock, 37, a mother-of-two from Houston, Texas, decided to try microblading and paid $340 for it. However, she was disappointed with the result.
She said her new brows were so bad that her 3-year-old daughter was too terrified to come near her.
Crystal, a dentist hygienist, said: “I had been thinking about getting microblading on my eyebrows for quite some time.
“As a busy mother, I found that trying to fill in my brows and make sure they were the right shape took so long. I thought that having microblading would be a great idea.
“I never in a million years could have guessed that they would have turned out like they did. It was horrifying. When my three-year-old daughter saw me the following day, she actually got frightened and freaked out.
“I’m now having to have removal sessions to try and break down the pigment and I may have to have laser treatment. It could take up to a year to get them looking better.”
Crystal said she attended her first micro blading session in November last year, however due to bleeding, the session was cut short and the pigment didn’t stick.
So she tried a second session four weeks later, in December.
Crystal added: “I was so excited to have perfect eyebrows and not have to worry about doing them myself. I was shown a picture of what my brows would be like after and I loved it. So in December, I went back for my second session.
“The bl££ding happened again but this time we carried on hoping the pigment would stay. I left the appointment happy with how they were looking but unfortunately it didn’t last as the pigment didn’t stick to my skin.”
Crystal added: “The semi-permanent make-up artist said she did some research on how she could get the pigment to stay better and talked about the nanoblading technique.
“After lots of back and forth, I didn’t get my next session until the end of April. She told me her equipment had arrived and to meet her at the salon. It was quite late and last minute, but I was looking forward to hopefully having some better results.”
