Don’t know if this is the right sub, but here goes. (English is not my primary language, so sorry if I am not making sense)

So yesterday I got a brow tint and lift from a beautician (I did a eyelash lift and tint at the same time). Now, I have light blond colored brows (I often use a dark blonde brow pencil to make them more noticeable), have (dyed) light blonde hair and I am quite pale. I never got my brows tinted before and wanted to give it a try. I want to take a bit more care of myself and thought it was a good idea, and doing it with a beautician would ensure me it would not end badly, compared to home kits…

Well, when I got up after the session and looked in the mirror, I was shocked because my brows were pitch black… And with the lift, it is very, very noticeable… The beautician told me not to worry, that it would fade “a bit” within 3 days. Also, she had not removed the tint om my skin, so it was “a bit more visible”. She told me to remove the tint on the skin in the evening (my appointment ended at 4pm). My 7 yo daughter screamed when she saw me coming home… My partner made fun of me… They both find it awfull. It makes me look mean… At 7pm I had enough and removed the tint by scrubbing like a maniac (and probably screwed the lift but I didn’t care anymore at this point). My brow color didnt fade. It is literally black. I send the beautician a polite message asking what tint color she used (scared that she might have used a dark brown, or black) and if it did not fade enough by saturday, if she could do it again but lighter. She responded that she used a dark blonde tint (which it did indeed looked like on my skin), and that it was the lightest tint she had. That it would fade a bit in 3 to 4 days (not 3 days likes she initially said) that it was impressive because I refused to get my brows structured and plucked (she asked me if I wanted her to pluck the few uncolored hairs that were left and I said no because I swell a lot and for a long time (and also because i am afraid i would hate the shape), but she didn’t talk about brow waxing. I feel like she is not taking responsibility by minimizing my feelings and anxiety (the first thing I said when seeing the tint, after a loud gasp, was that I could not go to work looking like this) and blaming it on me, while she did not informed me that it could improve the whole look (she knew it was my first time, and was friendly and talkative the whole time). I’m afraid the 3 to 4 days will juste make me more used to the situation, and notice it less.

I have looked on the internet but I don’t see any mention on brow tint that get significantly lighter after a few days. I did find pages saying that the color gets darker if you leave it on for too long, which I am afraid might have happened, especially since she did leave the tint on my skin . I am felling awfull and very self conscious… I don’t want to blame the beautician because she might be right and it just me panicking about nothing, but this is just so impacting that I am thinking about buying an Amazon kit to make it lighter (an possibly making it worse)…

As anyone ever had this experience and a color that got lighter?
