Deidre Rosado offers mcroblading and threading of brows and hopes to soon include lip blush and more services.
PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Deidre Rosado is ready to give your brows the perfect sculpted look.
The permanent-makeup artist opened Precision Brows at 644 North St. with a grand opening on Wednesday
The studio offers threading and microblading, which is described as a semi-permanent solution to define eyebrows.
"Microblading is basically a form of tattooing that is done differently than actual tattooing. We use a pen with a flex blade and a pigment versus ink that will eventually change color overtime," said Rosado.
She explained that she picks the color based off someone's natural hair color and shapes the eyebrows based on bone structure.
"I've always been into stuff like this and microblading was really interesting to me, so I just kind of did it. It's been a lot of hard work," Rosado said.
Threading is the use of twisted cotton thread to pluck out hair from the root and can be used alone or with other brow treatments like microblading.
Rosado trained 100 hours with Sarah Delaney at Zero To Microblading, a training program that also covers business operations, and a 200-hour apprenticeship with April Jordan, owner of Rock'n Ink, before opening her studio.
"She's meant to be one of the business leaders for our area, she did an amazing job very she was very particular and adamant but always question if she didn't know she wanted to know so she was so focused and stayed on top of everything she was so focused and her having her own business is something that is meant for her," Jordan said. "I’m proud of her, super proud of what she accomplished."
Jordan says it is nice to see a new place like this in Pittsfield for people to come and enjoy.
"I just want to see her thrive, I just want to see Pittsfield come up and people be able to do these cares and maintenance to themselves and you know it's a lot of things that we lose sight of just taking care of who we are but having a professional business like this gives woman or man the opportunity to clean their look up and feel nice," she said.
Mayor Peter Marchetti also stopped by to welcome her to the neighborhood and listen to what she does. He helped with cutting a red ribbon to open the studio.
Rosada says she will soon be offering lip blush services, and hopes to add more services soon.
Precision Brows is open Monday through Friday 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., Saturdays 10 to 7 and Sundays 10 to 6. Appointments can be made by calling 413-553-1059.

State Orders Release of Pittsfield High Investigation Report
By Brittany PolitoiBerkshires Staff
PITTSFIELD, Mass. — The Pittsfield Public Schools have been ordered to release non-exempt parts of the PHS investigation report by May 8 after a community advocate filed a public records request.
"Pittsfield residents deserve transparency when it comes to the actions of public officials within taxpayer-funded institutions," petitioner and Pittsfield resident Ciara Batory said in a press release on Monday.
"The community has a right to understand how serious issues are investigated and addressed. This decision is a win for every parent, student, and resident who believes in open, honest governance."
Batory has children in the school system, she said, "although they are not yet in high school, I am deeply invested in the future of our entire school community."
On April 1, Batory formally requested a copy of the investigative report into alleged wrongdoing by two administrators who have since been cleared by an outside investigation.
School officials initially promised complete transparency in the process but have since cited legality as a hurdle for releasing the report on "unsubstantiated" claims. Chair William Cameron said via email on Monday that the School Committee will discuss further action in executive session during Wednesday's regular meeting.
PPS initially denied Batory's public records request, and following an appeal to the secretary of the commonwealth's Public Records Division, Supervisor of Records Manza Arthur ruled on April 24 that the district failed to justify withholding the report in full and ordered that any non-exempt portions of the report be provided.
This ruling also suggests that the public interest in transparency and accountability may outweigh individual privacy concerns.
Batory provided screenshots of the ruling sent to Anne Marie Carpenter, PPS director of human resources, diversity, and inclusion.
"The School is ordered to provide Ms. Batory with a response to her request, provided in a manner consistent with this order, the Public Records Law and its Regulations within ten (10) business days," it reads.
