Woman left ‘horrified’ after her Microblading ended very badly

The microblading It is a procedure that more and more women resort to in order to improve the appearance of their eyebrows and face in general. Also, something that makes it even more attractive is that it is a great alternative to reduce the time spent on makeup.

However, it is important that it is performed by people certified in the technique to obtain optimal results, otherwise you risk having your experience similar to that of Crystal Weinstock, a woman who was horrified to see her eyebrows after a microblading. This is his story.

Crystal Weinstock, a mother of two from Houston, Texas, decided to try the microblading, a pigmentation technique performed with microneedles that puncture the skin. However, her experience left her so horrified that she wanted to share it on TikTok to alert other women. As expected, her misadventure did not take long to go viral.

The 37-year-old woman paid $340 for the procedure, which, in addition to helping her look better, would save time applying makeup. Unfortunately, the end result was anything but expected, as her eyebrows looked much larger than they were before, so much so that because of her strange appearance, her little daughter was afraid to approach her.

As a busy mom, I found that trying to fill in my brows and making sure they were the right shape was time consuming. I thought microblading would be a great idea. Never in a million years would I have imagined the result. It was horrible. When my three-year-old daughter saw me the next day, she really freaked out. Now I have to have removal sessions to try to break down the pigment and she may have to have laser treatment. It could take up to a year for them to look their best.

In a clip that has sparked the outrage of TikTok users, Crystal says that the artist asked her for an initial deposit in October last year, to make the microblading in November. However, on the day of the procedure, they had to stop him because he bled too much, which also prevented the pigment from transplanting into the skin.

It turns out that the problem was that Crystal had oily skin, so they arranged a second session a couple of months later. But the bleeding problem happened again and the girl suggested another technique called nanobladingwhich although he did not dominate, he promised to put it into practice before having it done.

Four months passed and Crystal came to her session nanoblading, whose disastrous result was documented. As if that were not enough, the “artist” disclaimed all responsibility under the excuse that it was not her fault and she even refused to reimburse the money.

Crystal says she was told the appearance of her brows would improve when the swelling went down. But the next morning her eyebrows didn’t look any better than the night before, so she panicked and started contacting specialists in microblading for an emergency fix.

The woman found Erica Kovitz, a specialist in microblading in California, more than four thousand kilometers away from his home in Houston, who became his guardian angel, since he created a campaign of GoFundMe so that Crystal can pay for the transfers to your appointments and reverse the procedure.

I recently had my second waxing session with Erica Kovitz of Beverly Hills Microblading in California. She is committed to helping me on this reversal journey and even created a GoFundMe campaign for the travel expenses for the rest of the process. It’s all a matter of waiting.

According to Crystal, it could take up to a year of removals and lasers to fix the problem. Even with all this, she wants the artist’s work to continue to grow, although she admits that her behavior was not appropriate.

And despite feeling humiliated and embarrassed to share her story, Crystal hopes her experience with him microblading help other women so they don’t have to go through the same ordeal.
