If you get it done before you highlight (not suggested) then tell them how much you're going to highlight. Eyebrows shouldn't match your hair perfectly, it makes you look plain.
I've heard some people say box dye works but I wouldn't try it if I were you.

I've tried boxdye and it did nothing. If you have dark hair, your eyebrows should be a shade or two lighter.. to soften up your face. If you light hair, then dark eyebrows are okay.
The only way to lighten your eyebrows is by bleach and that's not wise to do by yourself. You don't want that stuff to get into your eyes. You also don't want your eyebrows to get lightened too much and it could actually fry your hair or burn your skin. Going to a salon is the best thing because it's safe when professionals are doing it.
I would also try lemon juice. It's a natural bleach so I guess if you dab some on your eyebrows before you go out in the sun, it will make it lighter slightly. You won't come out with great results though.
But I think you'll be okay with highlighted hair and dark eyebrows. If it bothers you that much, maybe you can thin out your eyebrows or shade them in with some eyeshadow or eyeliner. [ queenhearts's advice column | Ask queenhearts A Question ]

Or ask the person at the salon to do it for you, or try lightening with lemon juice, but that could easily sting your eyes so be rally careful. Eyebrows are often SUPPOSED to be darker. SO don't do anything crazy like dyeing dark brown eyebrows bleach blonde, unless you want to look scary. Eyebrows don't have to match hair color, I think they're designed to match SKIN tone, actually.
