Union Beauty Lab Offers Paramedical Microblading Techniques Performed by a Master Artist

March 28, 2022 – Dallas, TX – Combining the skills of a master artist and paramedical professional, Bianca, the owner of Union Beauty Lab, has a background that is here to help clients who are looking for that ultimate eyebrow–lip appearance. Alongside this, the expert offers permanent eyeliner, beauty marks, freckles, and scar camouflage. So, plenty of ways you can get yourself pampered!  

Working in the industry for the last five years, Bianca now specializes in treating women who have lost their hair. Many clients are 35 or older and may have a history of over-plucking their brows, living with health concerns and diseases, or losing their hair due to age. Some women may also be dealing with hyperpigmentation issues as well and could be looking for a way to correct those blemishes.

Microblading, which may also be known as feather stroke brows, 3D brows, micro stroking, or micro-pigmentation, is a method of implanting color pigment into the skin to make the appearance of hair strokes. Small, disposable needles are used to essentially tattoo new colors into place. This is a semi-permanent cosmetic tattoo that gives you long-lasting results. There’s an extensive catalog of services you can look at for your preferred brow treatment such as powder brows (for the oily skin types), brow ombre, brow lightening, etc. 

Microblading is used by people all over the world, and it’s available for both men and women who want to look their best. Bianca focuses on natural-looking work. Unlike the bold brows that are seen on celebrities, she provides natural-looking microblading techniques that are subtle and light-handed. Nonetheless, for those who face the issues of thicker and darker brows, this expert also has a solution for you called brow lightening. 

Not all procedures are the same. In fact, some skin tones and conditions make microblading and lip blushing more complicated. That’s why she has placed an emphasis on learning to work with blondes because blonde brows are among the most difficult to complete and match well. Bianca’s medical and artistic background has encouraged her to work with more challenging treatments and to focus on helping her clients get the final look that they’d like to achieve. 

For clients with dark lips, hyperpigmentation, and other blemishes, she offers lip blushing. This procedure helps neutralize the appearance of dark spots and blemishes. The lip blushing treatment neutralizes melanin and takes care of changing the color of the lips to a color that the client is happy with.

After treatment, expect to spend one to two weeks with some irritation and a “foggy” look to the area. After that, around week four, the skin heals completely and makes the new pigment more visible. Two sessions are suggested for most people, with the second session, the enhancement session, set for six to eight weeks following the initial appointment. The second appointment is used to perfect the color and to make sure that the new color is symmetrical. Additionally, this is when more density may be added to areas that still appear sparse. 

While treatments start at around $700 to $900 for the first application, Bianca is proud to state that the retention of the work lasts longer thanks to the advanced methods she uses. To the clients who are looking for a better return on their investment, this is great news. Clients can expect an average retention rate of around 18 months to two years, which is far above the average of one year of retention in the industry. It’s possible to schedule a one-year follow-up for touch-ups. Some people may need them more or less often depending on their skincare routines, lifestyle, and overall health.

Union Beauty Lab was recently featured in the Dallas Voyage, while Bianca herself was interviewed in Paper City. With a record of over 1,000 treatments under her belt and over 5,000 hours of specialized training, Bianca is prepared to work with people dealing with all kinds of lip and brow concerns. 

As a paramedical microblading clinician, Bianca believes in offering these tattooing procedures as a luxury medical treatment that helps clients feel and look their best. Clients travel from outside the state to get the ultimate expert treatment provided by her, so an appointment is highly recommended. Book your appointment today by reaching out at (214) 945-0099.

Businesswoman Latesha Isbell Howard advocates for economic equity for minority women-owned businesses

Businesswoman Latesha Isbell Howard advocates for economic equity for minority women-owned businesses

Find out more at www.successwithlatesha.com.

“The problems of racial injustice and economic injustice cannot be solved without a radical redistribution of political and economic power.”

– Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

In the business world rooted in racism and economic inequity, we can either talk about the problem or take action. Latesha Isbell Howard, a business management consultant and marketing manager for a Fortune 500 company, is all about action. With over 25 years in the business industry, she noticed a problem within her community with the lack of financial knowledge, access to capital, and entrepreneurship education, so she decided to launch Savvy Diva Enterprises.

“A lot of us were not taught about credit and personal finances,” said Howard. “Financial literacy and entrepreneurship aren’t taught in high school or college, and that’s why I offer these services.”

Her company specializes in business credit, funding solutions, education and resources for minority female entrepreneurs. She also provides additional resources that support personal credit optimization, helping clients to become lender ready.

Operating in the corporate world with her Master’s in Business Administration and a Bachelor’s in Finance, Howard has gained valuable expertise to help her clients to structure, fund, and operate their small businesses like Fortune 500 companies.

“I love what I do, but I am only making small ripples in the ocean. God says it’s time to go bigger!” said Howard. And this is why she has launched a huge initiative to serve 2,300 minority women-owned businesses annually. Savvy Diva Enterprises has developed an entrepreneurship academy, small business incubator, community development loan fund, real estate investing program, and youth financial literacy and entrepreneurship program.

“This is a call to action to every bank with CRA goals, every corporation or municipality with community and economic development goals, every philanthropist that wants to leave a legacy, and every government funding program that supports entrepreneurship or financial literacy. We’re also seeking partnerships with nonprofits whose mission aligns with ours,” said Howard. To learn more about how you can support this initiative, click here.

“Together we can change the lives of an underrepresented, underserved, and underutilized population,” said Howard. A study by McKinsey & Company states that “in a parity scenario, Black-owned businesses would generate $1.6 trillion more than they do today.” This point illustrates why economic equity is vitally important.

This trailblazing wife, mother, entrepreneur, and stage 3 breast cancer survivor lights up when she talks about teaching clients how to turn their passion into a plan and transform the plan into profits. “I love to see people win; helping these women level up in their business and finances is my life purpose,” said Howard.

KCG is back with Summer Rain, another hip-hop hit

blank

What stands out about the artist is that he draws inspiration from a range of different places. These days in the hip-hop genre, it feels like rappers are either influenced by new or old artists. However, this isn’t the case for KCG. In this brand new track, it sounds like he is inspired by old school acts such as Biggie Smalls, Tupac, and Jay-Z. Yet, there is also fresh and contemporary energy that recalls the likes of Kendrick Lamar and Drake, to mention but two modern legends.

In Summer Rain, KCG’s rap flow is authentic and genuine, which is rare to find in the scene today. It’s clear from the very start that this song comes from a deep place in the artist, and that means that the listener can easily connect with the lyrics and the meaning underneath.

There are moments in Summer Rain that feel like a cathartic stream of consciousness. For example, the lyric “I wrote this song just to reminisce” sounds down-to-earth, direct, and honest. This storytelling technique is an artistic approach that iconic beat poets and authors are famous for. These include the likes of Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, and William S. Burroughs. KCG recalls these innovative and pioneering writers as he has a similar authenticity and dedication to telling a story and connecting with his listeners.

The production aesthetic in Summer Rain is warm and smooth, yet there is also a contemporary vibe to it that keeps it fresh and in the moment. The mix also balances the vocals with the instrumental backing, allowing KCG to shine throughin the composition. This is the kind of detail that sets artists like KCG apart from the crowd and showcases the difference between professional seasoned artists to the amateurs on the scene.

On top of this, KCG’s performance breathes life into the engaging lyrics, and it’s easy to understand the nuanced and detailed lyrics in the track. His delivery has a fluid rhythm that is infectious and you’ll find yourself humming the vocal melody to yourself long after Summer Rain has finished.

Fans of old-school hip-hop and modern rap will both enjoy Summer Rain and KCG’s distinctive approach and style.

Don’t miss out on this exciting new release from KCG. Check out Summer Rain on your preferred online platform at the link below!

Speaking of which, we’re back, baby! You’ve missed the nightlife, haven’t you? We all have. For more than a year, date night has meant a pizza dropped off at your doorstep by a teenager in a mask who makes a run for the car as soon as he detects movement behind your door.

New York City’s Faith & Fashion Icon Pens Inspiring Opus in a Fight for Her Life

blank

The House of Faith and Fashion: What My Wardrobe Taught Me About G-d releases on May 13th, 2021 and is a collection of essays and conversations that fuse together fashion and faith — two subjects that are traditionally juxtaposed, yet are brought together seamlessly within these pages, as if they had always belonged and had never existed separately. The attention-grabbing cover was designed by none other than Elizabeth Sutton, giving perfect visual representation to the beauty found in the content inside.

Through The House of Faith and Fashion, Tobi works to reveal G-d’s presence in fashion, jewelry, art, beauty, and style through the unique lens of Jewish teachings. She completed the book during the fight for her life against Müllerian ovarian cancer, an aggressive carcinoma requiring equally aggressive medical care.

Through her cancer diagnosis and the challenges of treatment, Tobi created an extraordinary chronicle of faith and fashion that elevates the creative process to divine proportions. Her collection of thoughtful, profound, and sometimes poignant essays illustrate to readers how the creation of fashion and art can become a channel through which to express one’s faith and connection with their spirituality.

“Brilliantly redraws the borders between spiritual and physical beauty.” — Chief Rabbi Pinchas Goldschmidt

The House of Faith and Fashion began as a weekly column for a local newspaper and has since flourished to a robust treasury of essays that weave spirituality into every aspect of the fashion and creative industries. The book continues Tobi’s work with top international designers, fashion editors, jewelers, artists, and influencers like Manolo Blahnik and Carolina Herrera. Tobi weaves spiritual awareness into her work with fashion figureheads at events like the Metropolitan Museum’s Costume Exhibit and New York Fashion Week to create an opus that takes a fresh new look at style and spirituality.

“I definitely found my niche, that’s for sure,” Tobi explains. “Nobody else has put together chief Rabbis and fashion editors together to discuss their craft and then bring it all [together] with clear Biblical and Judaic thought,” she says.

The book is clearly organized and divided into five chapters, each with about twelve to fourteen essays. This format is designed specifically to make the book easier to pick up and put down as needed to fit busy lifestyles.

“It’s not really about me; it’s not my memoir,” Rubinstein says. “I became ordained as a path to gaining more understanding and digging deeper. It’s not necessarily a title I go by. I’ve learned that my title is myself and that titles really don’t matter in life. It’s about relaying your message in a way that you can impact people. [I believe] that creativity on all levels is a gift from G-d.”  

“For so many decades, fashion, art, jewelry, and beauty has been looked at in this vain, purposeless, self-contained way,” Tobi continues. “I’m putting a new layer to it, saying ‘No, it’s not.’ In my first essay, The Haute and the Holy, I talk about the fact that the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s most successful costume exhibit was Heavenly Bodies, about the Catholic church. I refer back to the two chapters in the Bible about the outfit of the high priest, which is the most ornate, couture outfit you could think of, from the jewelry, the lace, the colors, the dying, the patterns, the gold trim, and the placement of the gems.”

In this never-before-seen collection of visceral, thought-provoking essays, readers will discover that faith and fashion aren’t necessarily two separate roads. Biblically, clothing had great importance; purple robes were reserved for royalty because the dye was so rare and costly to make. Spirituality has never taken such a practical turn before, framing the beauty of creation within the lens of the fashion industry.  

Tobi summarizes the book best with a single phrase: “The House of Faith and Fashion” ultimately pays homage to the first master couturier, which was G-d.”

 ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Tobi Rubinstein began her notable career in fashion after being brought into the industry by an exclusive manufacturer for Victoria’s Secret and JC Penney. Tobi then licensed with Nicole Miller for Childrenswear and helped develop Crunch Gym’s popular activewear line. In 2001, Rubinstein and her partners created “Chedda,” an innovative men’s urban clothing line designed for mass-market release at K-Mart.

In 2011, Tobi took a leap into reality TV and a successful lecture and radio series by creating The House of Faith and Fashion. Her goal was to consistently fuse creative outlets like fashion with spirituality. She made media appearances on WABC, WNBC, Lifetime, I24, Huffington Post, Page Six, and other outlets, having the opportunity to fashion icons like Patricia Fields and Badgley Mischka about their faith within their craft.

Tobi found further meaning by in-depth study of Jewish thought and teaching. This led to the combination of both her loves into one solid purpose — The House of Faith and Fashion: What My Wardrobe Taught Me About G-d.
