Browgod’s (A Browsessity focus Salon)

ABOUT

We cater to everything eyebrows. Our skilled specialists are licensed esthetician’s who are experts in the areas of brow waxing, threading, eyebrow tinting, eyebrow extensions, Microblading, and Ombré Microshading.

I loved my BUILD class. I still have bonds with classmates, as well as with Jacquise; who made my experience extremely enjoyable and knowledgeable. I have told other entrepreneurs about the build program since having graduated.

My relationship has grown with build through the bonds I have created and strengthened with other build graduates, such as Good Cakes and Bakes.

My recent developments have been expanding my cosmetic line, Browsessity (A NECESSITY for your brows) which creates and compliments every brow shape, with products that work with each skin type, from oily to dry.
I have also began expanding my business from being the sole worker to bringing other employees on board. I currently am leasing a suit and am expanding to running my own full salon.

My long term vision is to have Browgod’s (A Browsessity Focus Salon) open a staple location on Livernois Avenue, employing other licensed esthetician’s to learn the trade and my specific way of doing things. Helping them grow and learn, inspiring them, providing them with a happy healthy work environment that will foster growth and more opportunity for us. To give the women and men of Detroit, from all around, a salon that is upscale, yet warm, where they can trust they will leave feeling even more beautiful with their soul lifted each time. We build confidence starting with the brows.

Another long term goals is to have Browsessity carried in all major beauty retailers. For it to be the go-to brow cosmetic line; a household name. For my products to be trusted and revered, sought after. Quality.

To the BUILD Institute Community,

On behalf of the BUILD Institute Board of Directors, we want to share that the Board has made the decision to pause operations at the end of 2025.

We recognize that we are living in a time of great uncertainty for small business support organizations across Michigan. This moment offers us an opportunity to reassess how BUILD delivers on its mission, retool our programming, and evaluate new partnership opportunities and our overall business model to ensure long-term sustainability and impact.

In the coming months, we will continue all scheduled programming through December to ensure that all commitments to entrepreneurs and partners are honored. During this time, we will also explore new ways to align our work with the evolving needs of our community, including our network of over 3,000 alums.

Please join us in showing appreciation for the team members and facilitators who have served Detroit’s entrepreneurs and supported BUILD’s mission since our founding in 2012.

If you have any questions about this decision or what it means in the near term, please email us at [email protected].

Thank you for your continued support and for being part of BUILD’s legacy of inclusive entrepreneurship.

With gratitude,
The BUILD Institute Board of Directors
