Life & Work with Anastasia Romero

Today we’d like to introduce you to Anastasia Romero. 

Hi Anastasia, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I’ve been a Hairdresser for 10 years, owning my own studio for almost 3 years. I am a mother of an 11-year-old young man Joaquin (11) and a beautiful little girl Jenesis (4). And this past year also becoming a provider to my 2 small nephews after losing one of my biggest supporters to cancer, My sister Andrea (32).

Though my hands can be full and busy, I am grateful to have the help and endless support of my wonder Mother (Patricia) and amazing husband (Brandon). Without them, My life or my business wouldn’t function or be where it stands today.

My love and passion for hair is still very much my calling, as providing services to make people feel good about themselves keeps me wanting more.

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Smooth? Not to say the least. I always remember in beauty school on of my instructors had said, “Most licensed hairstylists will quit the business in the first 2-5 years because building is the hardest part.” And I will say that in this industry you have to have drive, continue education, consistency, and tough skin. My biggest challenge has been to know and charge my worth. Well after 10 years I can say I am confident to Say my prices out loud and feel confident in them.

As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
I am The Hairapist, when you schedule your session it’s not only for beautiful hair. It’s for self-confidence too.

I wouldn’t say I’m a special in any particular area in my profession. Accept to listen, discuss, and understand what your goals are.

We’d love to hear about any fond memories you have from when you were growing up?
When I was about 6 years old, my Grandparents would walk and take my sister and I to church. Coming back, there were these green apple trees, my grandma would climb up and shake them down for my sister and I to catch them. When we’d get home, she’d wash them and we ate them with sugar or salt. It’s the simplest things that make kids happy.
