Today we’d like to introduce you to Anastasia Love.
Hi Anastasia, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
When Hair Becomes Art
My story began long time ago, in 1999. I consider myself lucky,because even in high school, I already knew what I was passionate about. Hair quickly became more than just strands to me, it became my canvas, where I can create my art.
26 years later , nowadays,I’m still doing what I love. I’m a stylist who continues to be inspired by the beauty and positivity hair can bring. For over 22 years, I’ve specialised in hair extensions, and that service opened up new creative dimensions for me. Extensions aren’t just adding length, they’re tools that allow me to build confidence,shape identity, and transform energy.
I’ve never seen this as just a job. It’s so much more. It’s a lifestyle for me. It’s the way i live-creating beauty, expressing emotions, and helping women feel powerful, radiant, and truly themselves.
To me , hair is Art. It’s a story.And this is my path.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Hair extensions without fear.
When I first started working with hair extensions, I had no idea how many fears people had around it. So many clients were genuinely afraid that extensions would damage their natural hair. And yet, many of these same people had no issue coloring their hair regularly, even though chemical color often cause far more harm to the natural hair.
What mattered most to me was proving that extensions could not only be safe, they could actually help. Yes, Help! With the right technique and proper care, you can grow your natural hair while wearing extensions.
I never wanted to just “Do Extensions” I wanted to build a method, something customised to each clients hair type, goals, and sensitivity. I studied,tested,and created new tricks and techniques based on real life experiences.
Safe hair extensions aren’t a myth. The only myth is the fear , based on outdated ideas and someone else’s bad experience. My job is to show what’s really possible.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
Studio Queen Hair Academy born from experience.
Why I created my hair extensions academy.
Creating my own hair extensions course wasn’t a spontaneous idea. It was something that had been quietly growing inside me for years. After 22 years of working with my clients, thousands of clients, countless trials and mistakes, and plenty of “aha” moments, I finally decided it was time to share it all. I poured every lesson, every trick, every signature method I’ve discovered into one powerful program. A course that’s practical, honest, and deeply rooted in real-life experience. The kind of course I wish I had at the beginning of my journey.
What pushed me to finally launch it? Honestly…frustration. I was tired of watching professionals rely on random YouTube videos to “learn”. We live in a world where everything is available online, but too often, it’s shallow,fragmented, and missing context. The result? Damaged hair, wrong application methods,injured follicles, and disappointed clients. All because no one taught them the “why”, not just the “how”.
I’ve seen too many of these mistakes. I’ve fixed too many of them . And one day, I said-enough.
That’s how my signature masterclasses and Educational Academy was born. It’s not just a course, it’s a complete system. I share my real-life tools, techniques, secrets that actually work. Everything I teach is tested through decades of practice, and it’s designed to help stylists grow with confidence.
In terms of your work and the industry, what are some of the changes you are expecting to see over the next five to ten years?
The future of hair extensions.
There was a time when hair extensions made people nervous. Clients were afraid they’d ruin their natural hair, unsure about the safety and long-term effects. But today , I’m seeing a beautiful shift-and it’s so exciting.
As professionals,we’ve worked hard to prove that extensions can be safe and even beneficial, when done properly. More and more clients are releasing this,and the fear is slowly fading. In the next 5-10years I believe hair extensions will become a standard, mainstream service offered in beauty salons.
The possibilities in our industry are evolving every day. We’re not longer limited to just adding length. Now, we can correct a bad haircut, restore volume in thinning areas, add fullness to bangs, and even create beautiful blonde highlights-all without touching a drop of dye. That means No damage, No bleach, and completely gentle approach to transformation .
Pricing:
- Additional volume on the sides ( hair and installation) around $250-300
- Creating highlights with extensions (hair and installation) around $300-600
- Full head of extensions ( hair and installation) around $1200
