EAST ALTON - Beauty by Brandy is a new beauty salon that will hold its soft opening on May 2 at 20 Terminal Dr. Suite #106 in East Alton. Owner and operator Brandy Sparrowks said the store is a long-time dream of hers come true as she offers an ever-expanding array of beauty services to the area. “Beauty by Brandy is my very first salon that I have ever owned,” Sparrowks said. “I’ve done hair for 24 years, and then I recently trained in brow permanent makeup and I’m training in lip at the moment, and then eventually it’s going to be eyeliner.” Sparrowks said permanent makeup is commonly used as a solution for those who draw on their eyebrows but don’t want to do so every day and usually last 3-5 years. She said she also offers more temporary brow solutions, such as henna brows which last 6-8 weeks depending on your skincare regimen. Tooth gems and botox are among several other services on the way in the near future, Sparrowks said.
