BEHIND THE SCENES
Microblading at Mitchell’s: Full Brows all Day Long
Raise your hand if you fell victim to the 90s trend of overplucking your brows. No judgement, all of our hands are raised high over here.
We’re pretty darn thankful the pendulum has swung, and thick, natural looking brows are in and seemingly here to stay. But, for folks who weren’t blessed with the thick brow look, whose overplucking left permanent damage, or who are just plain sick of using an eyebrow pencil, microblading might be for you.
We recently had several people reach out to us asking for local places that we recommend for microblading. As always at Quidwell, we don’t recommend anything we haven’t experienced. So, we reached out to one of our favorite spots in town, Mitchell’s Salon & Day Spa, to try their microblading services for ourselves. I got matched up with Carrie at the West Chester location and couldn’t be happier with how my brows turned out.

- 2The Process
The Process
I first visited Carrie for a consult. She took a look at my brows and walked me through the process and what to expect. No blood thinners (think ibuprofen) day of ,no alcohol the night before, no intense exercise day of, stay out of the sun afterward, etc. After we walked through everything, we scheduled my actual microblading appointment. Note, at Mitchell’s this consultation visit is free of charge so if you’re on the fence you can always visit Carrie and she’ll walk you through if it’s a good fit for you.

After Carrie took the first pass at my brows, she numbed them both up with a numbing cream. This took a bit to set in. After it did, she went back and needled each brow again. At this point I couldn’t feel anything at all. Then, she cleaned up the area and showed me my new brows!

In 6-8 weeks, I’ll go back for a touchup appointment and then the brows should last about 18 months. I plan to keep going back to Carrie for top-ups, but the good news is if I don’t for some reason, there isn’t any scaring or discoloration associated with the procedure, so it won’t look bad if I let them fade out over time.
I went to Taft’s a few nights later with a group of friends and one of my pals text me randomly after, “hey, nice brows by the way!” And I’ve been getting a ton of compliments on them since. For me, it’s the ease factor. I like having thick brows, but I don’t like using an eyebrow pencil every day. If it takes even just one step out of my routine, I’m here for it. If you’ve been considering microblading, I highly recommended Mitchell’s and Carrie. You can find her and more information, here.
