Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox person Anastasia Soare (née Bălămaci) (born 28 December 1957)[1] is a Romanian-American businesswoman, and the CEO and founder of Anastasia Beverly Hills, known as the "Eyebrow Queen".[2][3] As of 2022, Forbes estimated her net worth at $660 million.[4]

Early life

Soare was born in Constanța, Romania.[5][2][6] She is the child of Dumitru Bălămaci (who died when she was 12) and Victoria Babu, who owned a tailoring shop.[7] She studied art history and architecture in Romania.[6][8]

Career

Soare spoke very little English in 1989 when she moved to Los Angeles, where she worked as an aesthetician at a beauty salon and soon realized that eyebrows were an under-explored area. "I developed a technique for how to shape eyebrows according to people's bone structure and natural eyebrow shape".[2] As her manager did not think there was enough of a market, she rented a room in a Beverly Hills salon, providing facials, body waxing, and eyebrow sculpting.[2] By 1997, she was running her own salon on Beverly Hills' Bedford Drive.[2] As a beautician, she has stated that her first two clients for an eyebrow treatment were Cindy Crawford and Naomi Campbell.[8] Other clients have included Faye Dunaway and Jennifer Lopez.[2]

Soare is the CEO and founder of Anastasia Beverly Hills beauty brand, available in almost 2,000 stores internationally.[2] In 2016, Soare stated that she owned 100% of the company.[6]

In June 2022, Forbes estimated Soare's net worth at $660 million.[4]

Personal life

In 1978, she married Victor Soare, a ship's captain.[7] The couple have a daughter, Claudia (known professionally as Norvina), who is also active in the makeup business.[8]

In 1986, while his ship was docked in Italy, Victor Soare visited the American embassy and asked for asylum. He reached the United States six months later.[9] However, Soare and her daughter were not allowed to leave Romania to join him in the United States until 1989.[6][9] Victor and Anastasia divorced in 1994.[7][9]

She lives in Beverly Hills, California, US.[10]
