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.

Hinsdale OKs Police Department Audit After Fatal Shooting

HINSDALE, Mass. — The town has approved $25,000 for an administrative review of the police department, more than two months after police fatally shot 27-year-old Biagio Kauvil during a mental health crisis.

Town Administrator Robert Graves said the shooting on Jan. 7 is not the only focus of the audit, and it will be several months before the Select Board receives a final report.

During a special town meeting on March 11, an article appropriating $25,000 from free cash for an independent consultant to conduct a professional evaluation and audit of the Town's Police Department was approved. The audit includes a review of the department's policies, protocols, operations, and procedures, and concludes with a written report.

"The Berkshire County District Attorney's Office and Massachusetts State Police are investigating the shooting, and we await their conclusions. As we look to move forward, the International Association of Chiefs of Police, our insurance company (MIIA/Cabot Risk), and our legal counsel have recommended that the town hire an independent law enforcement consultant or firm to conduct a comprehensive administrative review of our police operation," Graves wrote in an email to iBerkshires on Friday.

"This event is not their focus; they will assess the overall operation. We want a written assessment of our police operation's strengths and weaknesses to help Hinsdale make future changes and improvements."

He said after completing the procurement process and signing a contract with a reputable consultant or business, it will most likely be several months before the Select Board receives the final report.

"Still, it will help the town and police department move forward," Graves wrote.

Last weekend, family and friends of Kauvil stood in Park Square asking for justice. A flier for the standout reads "Biagio was killed by police while experiencing a mental health crisis. Now, over seven weeks later, authorities have not yet provided any updates.
