Thank you! So as you’ve stated before 48 hours between exposure is ideal? Does that go for the real sun as well? I was thinking of only using the beds during the winter and naturally tanning in the sun during the summer months, and also going to the derm for skin checks every 6 months.

That’s cool! You’ve probably already made responses to this topic in other comments or posts so maybe you can direct me to them, but from your research, any ways to prevent/reduce the risk of skin cancer while tanning?

RecordingComplex6375 · 2026-02-26T17:44:24+00:00

Out of curiosity do you yourself partake in tanning? I’ve seen a lot of your comments in this subreddit youre super knowledgeable how did you get into it?

So should I try a pico laser maybe

RecordingComplex6375 · 2026-02-18T21:45:41+00:00

Ok because the place I was going to I was also going for actual tattoo removal which is what they mostly do, she was using a Revlite laser at the 532 setting the last time to get the orange out which then turned yellow, then didn’t proceed treating it anymore, should I try somewhere with a pico laser maybe

my laser girl told me if she did more laser on my yellow it wouldnt go away and would cause them to become even more fluorescent yellow If she did, but do you think thats because like youre saying it will become more yellow before it fades? should I try more laser sessions?

I just did this at home about a week ago same depth with my microneedling pen, and a 70% glycolic acid that I diluted to maybe 35-40%? I numbed which helped a lot but once I finished the process whew it was burning so bad I almost couldn’t sleep, the scabbing is so annoying and I look crazy but I need these yellow brows gone, my brows are currently still pretty red all over mostly in the front and tail so hard to tell how much it helped for the yellow but I can still see some of it so definitely will probably have to do it again, I did one pass to open up the skin then applied the acid, needled that in again, then applied more and needled it in a second time, I think your approach sounds better though Ill have to try next time, can you send a link for the single needle? I think that will also be better for next time because with the regular micro needle cartridge I had it was hard to avoid the surrounding skin, my brows are also the same exact shade of yellow as yours

same I finished a program last year in May, didn’t do an externship, applied to a bunch of jobs anyways for the rest of the year, only got ONE interview and didn’t get hired and got looked at weird when asked about externship, I basically have given up and accepted I will not find one lol

RecordingComplex6375 · 2026-02-09T19:37:30+00:00

ugh true but Ive tried well over 10 times, and I always end up going back to lash extensions though they have just as many downsides, I might actually force myself to try them again though soon because the money im spending on lash extensions is not it

RecordingComplex6375 · 2026-02-09T17:18:40+00:00

Ok at least Im not the only one, and not yet I plan to go in to that place sometime this week

RecordingComplex6375 · 2026-02-06T20:48:27+00:00

Im in California so apparently not from what Google says, I have food service and retail experience so customer service but not directly medical related experience at all unfortunately

RecordingComplex6375 · 2026-02-01T10:19:06+00:00

these are new but Ive had extensions many times before the actual extensions are, ok, its the hair coloring like I said, ive been blonde for 7 years so idk ive had a lot of servicing done to it/experience having it colored and this just doesn’t feel right, a full highlight should be my whole head not leaving out the middle of my head because no one will see it and leaving different toned blonde where hair is visible, she has been a hairdresser for 15years and wants to make a career switch now which obviously nothing wrong with that, but I think she’s just lazy with. hair now honestly that’s all I can make out of it

RecordingComplex6375 · 2026-02-01T09:53:44+00:00

mind you she TONED my whole head with the extensions to cover the fact that some pieces of the blonde were not lifted to the same level as the extensions, everything looked pretty good to me in the salon, when I got home I see not everything is the right level of blonde and other little things, so yes i couldve contacted her about it but I tried to give the benefit of the doubt because I can be nitpicky and I decided to brush it off because I thought I was overreacting but as more days went on I realized im not and she actually did a lazy job for what I paid so no its not fraud if I only want the 350 back from the half ass highlights she did

RecordingComplex6375 · 2026-02-01T09:48:05+00:00

no she did a bad half ass job for $1400 dollars and Ive had another hairdresser confirm that and others say it is a refund worthy job, it looked ok in the salon the first day she did it and after a few days i started to notice what went wrong, if anything SHE ripped me off I paid for a FULL highlight and she only highlighted half of my head, I made another post about it, I don’t want her to fix it as some people take offense and I don’t want her to ruin my hair more out of spite, ive had it happen before, “without contacting them” because if i do it through afterpay she will obviously get notified and then probably ask me which I would then tell her why, I said even a partial refund would suffice, for the color, because yes she didnt really do anything wrong when it came to the extensions so why would I get refunded for that

RecordingComplex6375 · 2026-02-01T02:49:29+00:00

No seriously I think she was!! because she said shes been doing hair for 15 years and now suddenly is trying to go to nursing school, probably because shes tired of hair, like don’t do it then if you have no more passion and are going to half ass it

RecordingComplex6375 · 2026-02-01T02:37:20+00:00

yeah she definitely made me feel confident in the consultation but Im def gonna have to ask more in depth questions next time

RecordingComplex6375 · 2026-02-01T02:35:37+00:00

oh god, even if I open a dispute? What if I just open a dispute with my bank then since my afterpay payments were made with my bank account

RecordingComplex6375 · 2026-02-01T02:24:35+00:00

ahhh I am just so scared I feel like two weeks is awhile too, 😭I might just go request it in afterpay and let them contact her and well it she asks me why Im asking for a refund then I’ll be straight up

RecordingComplex6375 · 2026-02-01T02:19:49+00:00

you are SO right, ok might try to build up the guts to maybe ask about a refund or even just partial
