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 Says 'Yes' to Soccer at Crane Park

By Brittany PolitoiBerkshires Staff

The pitch will have the logos of the city and the US. and Massachusetts soccer associations. 

PITTSFIELD, Mass. — The city is gladly accepting a "mini-pitch" from the U.S. Soccer Foundation to bring games back to Crane Park. 

Fueling excitement around the World Cup, U.S. Soccer has been working with the Massachusetts Youth Soccer League to make these facilities available to 20 communities — one of which will be at the park at the intersection of Benedict Road and Springside Avenue. 

The City Council accepted the gift on Tuesday during its regular meeting. 

A mini pitch is a compact, modular field typically used for soccer, and it can also accommodate inline skates. It has a galvanized steel border with built-in goals and a rubber plastic surface that is clicked together; installed on the existing inline hockey court. 

Ward 2 Councilor Cameron Cunningham said he has gone door to door speaking with nearby residents, and they are "really excited" about the upgrade. He also sees it as a great addition. 

"They say that nobody really uses the court a ton now, and they are excited to see kids back on there playing," he said. 

Decades ago, the Crane Park facility was a wading pool. It closed in 1980, and before the turn of the century, it was filled in and marked for hockey. 

Parks, Open Space, and Natural Resources Manager James McGrath explained that the wooden border around the rink is showing its age, has been vandalized and tagged, and the facility is seeing a "real decline" in use. 

"This would seem to be an appropriate spot for us to remove the board system that's in place and install the mini pitch system through this grant," he said.
