I am so upset. I’ve had my eyebrows treated 3 times over a month’s time and the electrologist messed them up. I’ve been plucking my brows since I was 15 and have never let anyone else touch my eyebrows before, but I drew a thick outline with eyebrow pencil very conservatively, leaving outside only a few hairs that I was sure I would never want. She was arrogant and disrespectful enough to ignore my directions and pluck whatever she wanted, then she wiped off the lines before letting me see the results at the end so I couldn’t tell right away. Now my eyebrows are overplucked, assymetrical, and badly shaped. I had been growing out my eyebrows for months to try to get to my ideal shape, and now for the rest of my life I will have messed up eyebrows at this time of year (and perhaps for several months out of the year, as overplucked eyebrows can take 6 months to grow back, and the hairs she treated aren’t ever coming back). I am so angry at her and don’t want to give her anymore of my money, which is too bad in a way because she is very good at areas where she can satisfy her impulse to pluck every single hair, but I can’t go back to someone who did this to me. So I have to find a new electrologist and probably I will have to travel out of the city and chance having to waste time and money with another electrologist who doesn’t know how to treat hairs effectively.
So my warning to all of you who value your looks, is to not let anyone touch your brows. It’s not worth it, and there’s no way to know who to trust. This woman has glowing reviews on Yelp, and a woman on Yelp told me she was great at brows and respectful about not taking too much off. She is very professional and skilled at electrolysis, and YET she did this.
And if any of the electrologists on the board can give your professional opinion, please: Is there any chance that eyebrow hairs can grow back looking normal if they were treated with blend by a skilled electrologist? If I was treated from mid-Oct to mid-Nov, when do you think I will not have enough eyebrow hairs each year? At this same time, or earlier, or for several months?
Lastly, any recs for good electrologists in the Bay Area?
Thanks.
