I drank the kool-aid

Let me start by saying over the past three years I’ve grown and changed in so many different ways. From my thought processes to self talk I’ve transformed into a version of me that I finally accept fully. I have some goals I’m working towards in many areas of life but I like who I am in this moment.

I’ve always had a list of things that aren’t for me or that I won’t do. I’m not one to follow trends or jump on the bandwagon with anything BUT eyebrow tinting was one that eventually pulled me in.

In September 2021 I finally got professional highlights and over the course of several months got reddish burgundy rinses and finally permanent color. I simply love my hair. As I blogged about previously, I changed careers and began working for a company I just love in November. The closer it got to time for our holiday party, the more I noticed my eyebrows.

Over the years I’ve done everything from plucking to waxing to threading. I even used to use an eyebrow razor and keep them super thin. The older I got, the more I wanted a fuller look. I began noticing everyone’s eyebrows especially on social media. Then people I know started using and/or selling eyebrow tint.

Chile I really thought those big dark eyebrows looked so clownish 🤡. Like why are y’all doing them like that? Do y’all seriously LIKE how that looks? Eeeewww y’all weird af! And why your lashes so big?! But I digress

Back to this holiday party. I needed to look cute so went to my hair stylist to get color the Saturday before and she did a cute pinned up mohawk that I knew I was going to continue to replicate. And she said, “now you got to get your eyebrows done”. I surely felt some type of way because I immediately knew she was talking about tint. She had me make an appt with Kizzy up front who does tint. Kizzy asked if I wanted burgundy since my hair was burgundy.

No ma’am. No, I do not want burgundy eyebrows thank you. But y’all, I got antsy. My appointment wasn’t until the afternoon of the holiday party which was 6 days away. What if I didn’t like them?

So the next day when I went to get my eyebrows threaded, I let them tint them as well. They told me it just looked dark during the process and after but would lighten up after a few days. I could wash my face but bo scrubbing of my eyebrows or the tint would fade quicker.

Y’all I HATED my eyebrows. Really truly hated them. Everyone around me was like they look nice blah blah blah but I looked like a whole clown! Let me tell you I started scrubbing my brows every time I washed my face THAT DAY lol but baby even 5 days later when I went to Kizzy to have them corrected she could still see the tint.

But when I tell you Kizzy made my brows look AMAZING 😍

My brows looked so natural and beautiful and I just loved them! I had already been seeing Instagram posts about microblading but now I needed to investigate because what if I could wake up like this every day and not have to get them tinted every 7-10 days 🤔

So I drank the kool-aid and I’ll tell y’all about my microblading journey in my next blog.
