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.

Dalton Board & Police Facility Panel Emphasizes Need for Community Engagement

By Sabrina DammsiBerkshires Staff
DALTON, Mass. — Several aspects surrounding the proposed police facility are unclear, but one thing is for certain: the need for community engagement and education. 
 
The Select Board and the Public Safety Advisory Committee attended the presentation. Although they did not fully agree on public engagement methodologies, they acknowledged the importance of public engagement and education in gaining community support and ensuring the project's smooth progression.
 
There will be another joint meeting in the next two weeks to a month, so the board can discuss next steps and ways to engage voters. 
 
Select Board member Dan Esko emphasized that when other towns have undertaken similar projects, they did a lot of community surveying and polling engagement. 
 
"I feel like that's what's missing here in Dalton right now, if we're going to focus on one thing as a priority, put that to the top is my advice, my thinking," he said. 
 
"There's other things too, certainly it's not exclusive to working on other items."
 
Don Davis, co-chair of the Public Safety Advisory Committee, demonstrated that the committee has recognized community engagement as a necessary strategy since the beginning of this process.
