You might be disappointed at first but be patient they will look great!
Freak out #2: after a few days of healing and scabbing the color will almost be gone. This is normal and know that it takes time for the color to come back. It can be a little scary because you think I went through all that pain and spent that money for nothing. Do not worry it will all come back and be the color you wanted!
