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.

PITTSFIELD, Mass. — More than 300 community members attended the 40 Under Forty Awards celebration on Thursday, recognizing individuals who are dedicated to improving the quality of life for those in the Berkshires. 
 
Berkshire Community College received several hundred nominations this year and narrowed it down to 40 unsung heroes who have achieved many accomplishments, college President Ellen Kennedy said. 
 
Kennedy said it was wonderful to see previous winners nominating the next generation. 
 
"They sort of understand the importance of what this recognition can symbolize to people and the inspiration it can provide to people to be connected and committed to what's happening in the Berkshires," she said. "So it's been exciting to see it evolve that way."
 
The event is a moment to both pause but also go forward, Kennedy said afterward.
 
"So pause and really celebrate all of this talent and interest and these really creative, innovative, hard working, committed individuals, but it's also a moment to push forward on the next round of entrepreneurial innovation that can happen in the Berkshires. And a lot of these people bring that spirit to that," she said. 
 
The winners come from diverse backgrounds, including longtime residents with deep roots in the Berkshires as well as newcomers who have recently moved to the area and are already making a mark, Kennedy said.
