FROM ESCAPING COMMUNISM TO SCULPTING THE WORLD'S MOST FAMOUS BROWS - THIS IS THE UNFORGETTABLE TRUE STORY OF BEAUTY MOGUL ANASTASIA SOARE.
As a young mother, Anastasia risked everything to flee communist Romania and chase the American dream. She arrived with no English, no savings, and no guarantees she'd ever see her family again. What she did have was a secret weapon: a fierce, no-excuses work ethic passed down through generations of her family - work hard, don't complain, figure it out.
In Raising Brows, the original 'Queen of Brows' shares her inspiring journey from cleaning salon stations to building a billion-dollar global beauty empire. From learning English by watching The Oprah Winfrey Show to later shaping Oprah's brows on live television, Anastasia is a testament to the power of passion and persistence. She disrupted the beauty industry with her pioneering application of the 'golden ratio' to eyebrow shaping - helping women everywhere find balance and confidence in their own faces.
But behind the glitz and celebrity clientele - from Jennifer Lopez to Kim Kardashian to Michelle Obama - was a woman who faced rejection and impossible odds with unshakable determination.
This is more than a memoir. It's a masterclass in resilience, creativity, and the magic that happens when you dare to believe in yourself. Perfect for dreamers, doers, and beauty lovers alike, Raising Brows will leave you inspired to shape your own destiny - one bold stroke at a time.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
'My husband may have never seen me without my brows on, but Anastasia certainly has - she's the only person I trust with them. Beyond her skill and expertise, Anastasia has inspired me in so many ways: as a working mother, a female founder, and as a human being. Her creativity and passion for our industry are contagious, her work ethic unparalleled, and her generosity unmatched' * Victoria Beckham * Whenever I'm speaking to any group about what it takes to be successful, I always lead with Anastasia's story. She embodies self-empowerment, taking a skill she had a passion for, shaping brows, and turning it into a full-blown empire. I've proudly watched her relentless work ethic in building a whole brow movement. The world's current obsession with brows started with her. She is the Queen-mother! * Oprah Winfrey, via People Magazine * 'Anastasia's story isn't just about success - it's about believing in yourself when no one else does, and showing the world what's possible' * Roxie Nafousi * 'Anastasia's story is one of grit, vision, and fearless disruption. She redefined an entire industry while building a global empire. This book is a must-read for anyone chasing a dream and determined to leave their mark.' * Kim Kardashian * 'Anastasia is the American dream. Like many immigrants, with grit, passion, determination, hard work, and love, she made all her dreams come true.' * Jennifer Lopez * 'I'm in awe of what Anastasia has done for the art and the business of beauty.' * RuPaul * 'Raising Brows is more than a memoir; it's a manifesto on the power of vision and persistence. Anastasia has shaped the way we see beauty itself - literally framing our faces and figuratively showing what's possible when you trust your craft and instincts. Her story is inspiring, deeply human, and a reminder that resilience can change culture. A must-read for any would-be entrepreneur and beauty fan.' * Anita Bhagwandas *
