UPDATE: Anastasia Soare, the visionary founder of Anastasia Beverly Hills, has just launched her memoir, ‘Raising Brows: My Story of Building a Billion-dollar Beauty Empire,’ priced at $32. Released on July 15, 2025, this compelling narrative is now available through major retailers including Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
Soare’s memoir is more than just a personal story; it serves as an inspirational guide for aspiring entrepreneurs. “Everybody was telling me, ‘You have to share your story’ because I always like to support young entrepreneurs,” Soare shared. She emphasizes the importance of resilience, stating, “If you believe in your dream… you should not give up.”
The memoir dives into Soare’s challenging upbringing in Romania under a communist regime, detailing her family’s struggles and her eventual move to the United States. She recalls waiting two and a half years for political asylum, an experience that shaped her tenacity and drive. “I talk about the time growing up in Romania… the hurdles we went through to come here,” Soare explained.
After arriving in the U.S., Soare faced the daunting task of starting anew, grappling with language barriers and financial instability. Her journey took a pivotal turn when she found work at a beauty salon, which ultimately led to the creation of her billion-dollar beauty empire. “I realized that I looked surprised in all the pictures. I knew that was the eyebrows…because in the ’80s, that was the fashion,” she reflected.
In ‘Raising Brows,’ Soare candidly reveals the intricate dynamics of building her business, including her relationships with high-profile clients and the emotional rollercoaster of entrepreneurship. She hopes that her story will resonate with others facing similar challenges. “They should think, ‘If Anastasia was able to do it… I can do it too,” Soare asserted.
The memoir has already garnered positive reviews from influential figures, including Kim Kardashian, who praised it as a “must-read for anyone chasing a dream.” Soare expressed her gratitude for Kardashian’s support, noting, “She validated my work… If she said that the book is amazing, then I feel complete.”
As the buzz around ‘Raising Brows’ intensifies, Soare’s hope for the memoir is clear: to inspire a new generation of entrepreneurs to pursue their dreams against all odds. “I worked so hard for so many years that I never had time to stop and look back, but writing this book, I had the chance,” she concluded.
With the launch of her memoir, Soare not only shares her remarkable journey but also ignites a spark of motivation for others ready to embark on their own paths of success. The urgency to read her story is palpable—this book is poised to become a transformative resource for aspiring business leaders worldwide.
