Help - my eyebrows are BLACK!!!
Two days ago, I went to a new day spa and had my brows and lashes dyed. My lashes get dyed black and my brows are dyed brown; I do this every few months. The normal person I go to was all booked so I went to a new place. :-[
The woman did it wrong. First she did my lashes in brown and had to redo them. While the dye was on my eyebrows I told her it looked dark and was she sure she was using brown. She said she was. Yesterday morning after washing my face and examining, I can tell that my eyebrows are a dark black!! Help!!! I have blonde hair!!! Brown eyebrows bring out my eyes, black looks absolutely stupid. How can I fix this?!?!?!
(I'm not willing to go back to the bad place, and after calling my normal day spa they said there is nothing that can be done and I'll have to wait for it to grow out.)

DEMAND A REFUND!!!!!!! That's bullshit! I'd go get a second opinion on what can be done to change your brows! Worse comes to worse, and I know this may seem drastic, but get dark low-light in your hair to even out the darkness of your brows. Your hair can be lightened up when your brows fade a bit. Thin your brows as much as you can so you don't look like Groucho Marx too.
Re:Help - my eyebrows are BLACK!!!
I would definitely demand a refund...bad service means no pay.
I am concerned about you dying your eyelashes, though...that has been shown in several reports to be unsafe and can cause all sorts of problems with your eyes. Please be careful.
Re:Help - my eyebrows are BLACK!!!
Yup... demand a refund. Tell them you are an entertainer and you are unable to work because of this. Just go crazy on them! :D That's a big thing to "opps - I made a mistake" on! If you don't mind me asking.. how much did you pay?
Re:Help - my eyebrows are BLACK!!!
You should leave the eyelashes alone, but you are safe to re-dye your eyebrows. I have done it twice consecutively within the same week and although they were a tad sensitive, all went well.
Re:Help - my eyebrows are BLACK!!!
Demand a refund from the woman. And YES the dark can be lifted, not by her however. Consult with others who do eyebrows all the time, go from there. AND, ask to sign a paper (could be on a damn napkin, does not matter) stating your brows will be LIGHTER. I dyed mine once when i did my hair very dark, i lifted the colour myself with my streaking kit. But DON"T.
She did you wrong, and i know the cololur will lift.

Yes, demand a refund, or say you wont be back there.
I had my hair done two years ago. I was blonde, and they put in dark chunks of chocolate. (or so I thought and wanted) Well when it came out, I looked like a skunk. It was blonde hair with BLACK chunks. I looked hideous. I went back a few days later to correct it, and the jerk charged me again. Being shy, I paid it. Well I tried to fight it from my credit card and they took his side. So I never went back.
But I'm smarter now and I'd never pay, or demand a refund.
Im sorry about that hun.
About dyeing your eyelashes? Why dont you just use black mascara? I do on a daily basis. And you can always lighten your brows by buying some light hair dye and leaving it in for a few minutes at a time until you get the desired color.
Good luck and keep us posted.

That happened to me once, I was going blonde (HUGE MISTAKE) when they got done with my hair, my hair was platinum blonde and my eyebrows were completely black, I was in a state of shock that i started crying. It wasted my money took me forever to wait to recolor it back to normal.
Re:Help - my eyebrows are BLACK!!!
I get my lashes and brows tinted, I am truly a natural blonde, sometimes my brows comeout too dark too. If your tech used a vegatable dye simply apply yogurt to help lighten them. Keep the yogurt on for 10-20 minutes, you might have to do this a couple of times until you reach your desired shade. Now if it was a "permanent" color go to your local Sally's and pick up a bottle of Metalex and apply it to your eyebrows with a Q-Tip. Be sure to apply Vaseline to the upper part of your eyelids and be very careful.

Re:Help - my eyebrows are BLACK!!!
Jolen lightening cream is a super mild bleach specifically for lightning eyebrows and facial hair..... the formula is very thick so it will not run in to the eyes.
I use it every time

Re:Help - my eyebrows are BLACK!!!
wow that sucks.. kindof funny.. but sucks.. CALL IN or go back and Tear someone a new butthole! thats some messed up shit there..
Re:Help - my eyebrows are BLACK!!!
if I wanted to lighten my brows the slightes, Jolen will do the trick? I might try that....
Re:Help - my eyebrows are BLACK!!!
Damn.. Without a doubt, DEMAND your money back, AND make them redo it as well.
That's so wrong.
Re:Help - my eyebrows are BLACK!!!
Hmmm although the woman you went to didn't demonstrate it...I say you should go to a professional to get it fixed! At home kits can turn out even worse than a botched pro job...don't make a new mess! Go to someone with tons of experience, tell them you're problem, and get it fixed right the first time. Oh, and? Make a loud fuss at the salon you got your eyebrows screwed up at...IN front of customers.
