Anastasia Soare

I'm surrounded by a lot of women and they really inspire me every day.

I realized that nobody paid attention to eyebrows. In Romania, it was the norm. I thought, 'This is Hollywood. We work with the most incredible, beautiful models and actors and this is important.'

The fact that I didn't speak English I think was the most difficult thing for me.

In Romania it was normal that when you got a facial someone would tweeze your brows.

I don't ever take lunch. If I were to go to lunch I would waste four hours.

I have a Pasquini, the old-fashioned Italian coffee machine. I have to make my coffee because I know exactly how much I want and how strong I like it.

In 1997, I decided to open a salon in Beverly Hills. At that time there were no products for eyebrows, so I developed a line.

Eyebrows are the most difficult beauty feature to master - we all have different bone structure, brow texture, and coloring.

In Romania, during the communist regime, we were very culturally suppressed. At 18 years old, I wasn't allowed to wear bell-bottom jeans and eyeliner. I couldn't understand why!

When I'm in the bathtub, I could have my champagne here and my caviar, just to be glamorous enough. I work really hard and I deserve everything.

I don't like to see mess.

For fragrance, I only wear Portrait of a Lady by Frederic Malle. People at work know I'm there when they smell it.

I do my hair and makeup every day like I'm going to a party.

Brows should begin directly above the middle of your nostrils. The highest point of the arch should connect the tip of the nose with the middle of the iris.

Hair on the eyebrow droops because of aging, so a groomed eyebrow on a man opens the eye and makes him looks younger.

Brows more or less can sculpt the face and minimize features you find less flattering.

I'm blessed. I wake up happy every day.

While designing, sewing and cutting patterns for clients, my mother was always telling me to make sure the upper part of the body was balanced with the lower part, an A-line skirt to minimize hips or shoulder pads if a client was smaller on top. I was training my eye to create balance.

Brows that are too round tend to elongate the face making eyes look droopy and tired.

I use the golden ratio to create the perfect shape on my clients' faces.
