Precision Brows Opens on North Street in Pittsfield

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.
