Raising Brows - My Story of Building a Billion-Dollar Beauty Empire

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.
