Micro blading when you have cancer.

Here is  what happened.   I lost my eyebrows to cancer treatment.  Over 6 plus years of multiple courses and  types of chemo's have prevented my brow hair from growing back.  Thanks to minoxydl, I have hair on my head and tho sparse, My lashes have returned.  I have told myself to be grateful for what I have.  Yet there has been this little part of me that feels less feminine without brows.  Less expressive, less myself.  Yes, I do draw them on, but that is such a ordeal.  I know, I know, First world problems, right.  Well, no brows is just  another insult to my scarred, breastless body.  I made a call a week ago to Chicago microblading, and spoke with a lovely woman named Tahm.  She asked what I needed this done, and I shared a bit of my cancer background and told her about being browless.  She shared the procedure process with me and then went over cost and care.  I told her  that with all the medical bills I just didn't think I could swing it now, but said If I were able to scrape up the cost I would be in touch.  The very next day my phone rang, and it was Tahm calling on behalf of Havy, the microblading artist offering me the gift of microbladding.  I was blown away.  I didn't need to do anything in return, just get medical clearance to have it done, and allow a photo for the website.  Here is the review I wrote for Havy and her assistant Tahm.  It says how much their gift  means to mean.

Today I had the pleasure of meeting Havy and her assistant Tahm. I have an unusual reason for wanting to have my brows done, I have metastatic breast cancer, treatment is lifelong. All of the different types of chemo treatments have left my eye brows non existent. I was pretty nervous having been through so many surgeries and painful procedures. Havy put me totally at ease. She was super precise in measuring out my brows. She is very gentle and spoke softly, asking often if I was in any pain. I am blown away by how symmetrical my brows are. I can't pencil them in as perfectly as she did. They look great. These ladies are very kind and gracious. I am deeply touched and so so thankful to them both. Havy is an amazing artist. For me, a woman loosing a breast and eyebrows leaves an unfeminine feeling, this procedure gave that part back to me they look so realistic. Well, she literally changed how I perceive myself. To say I am grateful would be an understatement, I highly recommend Chicago Microblading and Havy.



I am so so pleased with how they turned out.  They look just like eyebrows with little hair strokes.  My own eyebrows where never this symmetrical, and uniform.  In a million years I could never brow pencil them on like this.  I am so looking forward to feeling  more "normal" and not having  to draw brows on every single day!!  What an incredible blessing  this is  for me.  If you are  thinking  of having this done, do your research, ask your oncologist for referrals, and check out yelp reviews.  Let me know in the comments below if you are thinking of having this done, or if you have had it done, and what you think about how it turned out.
