Hair Love, LLC (Bladed Love)

Hair Love, LLC, which operates as Bladed Love, is an independently operated, state licensed permanent makeup studio in Minneapolis. Founder and owner Taquisha Jallah is a Minnesota native who has worked in the permanent makeup industry since 2017. She describes herself as a Certified and MN Licensed Permanent Makeup Artist. The studio focuses on brows and lips and says it caters to professional women of color. Its services include ombre powder brows, a gradient style that the site says can be worn bold or subtle.

Brow tattooing is done in two steps. After the first session, a touch-up follows about 6 to 8 weeks later, and the studio recommends further touch-ups every 12 to 18 months. Before tattooing, the brow shape is drawn in pencil and the client and artist choose the pigment color together. The site says a topical anesthetic is applied and that all tools are single-use and disposable. A procedure takes roughly 3.5 hours. Through Bladed Academy, they also offer private Microblading/Shading Training and Hyaluron Pen Lip Filler training with Taquisha.
