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 Council OKs Underground Fiber Network
By Brittany PolitoiBerkshires Staff
PITTSFIELD, Mass. — More underground fiber internet cables will be installed in Pittsfield.
On Tuesday, the City Council approved Gateway Fiber's request to install an underground fiber network infrastructure within the city's right-of-way.
The company was given the go-ahead for an aerial network last year alongside Archtop Fiber, marking the beginning of construction with a ribbon-cutting at the Colonial Theatre. Gateway Fiber will offer subscription plans ranging from $65 to $150 per month, depending on speed.
Wards 3 and 4 will see the most work in the first phase, according to an underground fiber deployment plan. Fourteen streets in Ward 4 will see underground fiber deployment; 13 streets in Ward 3.
Ward 4 Councilor James Conant voted in opposition for personal reasons, as he signed up for Gateway Fiber briefly last year and said he had poor service and poor communication from the company.
Some councilors and community members appreciated bringing competition to Spectrum internet services. Ward 5 Councilor Patrick Kavey pointed out that it costs about $90 per month for 500 megabytes per second with Spectrum, and that all three fiber services that have come to Pittsfield are cheaper.
Operations Manager Jennifer Sharick explained that they were seeking approval for underground fiber deployment as part of the next phase in Pittsfield. The city was found to be a "very" viable community for underground fiber.
Gateway Fiber, she said, originally served a community of 250 residents outside of St. Louis, Mo.
"Following the pandemic, we saw the need, and what people need for fiber and reliable internet service to bring residents and businesses the opportunity for connectivity," Sharick said.
