Powder brows or nano blading?

Ready to take the plunge, doing as much research as possible. I have very sparse very thin eyebrows, so my preference was to do nano blading to add more strokes. Day to day I use Anastasia Beverly Hills brow pomade as I virtually have no hair on the ends of my eyebrows lol. 😂

From what I’ve read, no matter what the strokes will eventually just blunt together and become blurry.

Do you guys have any advice based on healed before / after years later - is the consensus that powder brows are preferable?

Stylists aren’t doing money pieces how I ask. Do I DIY?

I’ve been to 3 different stylists, paid a really good amount, and none of them are giving me the money piece that I’ve asked for. I always say please make it bold, please make it thick, I want BLONDE! I always show a photo reference. With stylist #2 I actually messaged her really politely and asked if she could pop a few more foils in the front because she didn’t give me a money piece at all really, it was still so dark. (I’ve never had to message a stylist before asking them to touch up so the whole thing was so awkward for me. I never want to seem difficult.)

I’m overall happy with the last place that I went to, and she’s such a sweet girl. The issue was that she had another girl come over and help who hadn’t done the consult with me and hadn’t seen my reference photo so the money pieces ended up being a lot more thin than I hoped. I did leave feeling blonde so I hadn’t said anything but it’s been two weeks since my last appointment and every time I look in the mirror, I can’t help but see how there’s chunks of brown in the front when I wished it was SO much bolder.

I guess my question is: is there a safe way I can pick the little brown pieces out and just get it specific to how I want it? Maybe once I do it they kind of have to follow that guideline? I hate to message her and feel nitpicky, also don’t want to seem like I’m going to be a difficult client because I would like to keep seeing her in the future. Any suggestions or advice? 😭
