Meet Anastasia! She is an experienced hair stylist who has worked with all types of hair. She's been creating beautiful looks and different hair styles for her favorite clients for many years now. Her utmost priority in her line of work has always been the quality and “lightness” of natural hair. She uses only natural hair (also known as “virgin” hair) that has never been altered by a chemical process or doesn’t have any silicone coating. It’s the best type of hair that is easy to look after, extremely durable and is of the highest possible quality.

Anastasia started Studio Queen Hair in LA about 8 years ago after a failed business in Russia. She was not willing to give up even though she was in a new country as a single mother; and has built herself a successful business. Listen in as we chat about the challenges, how she found her niche and what is next for the studio.

Blazed had a very humble beginning.. Brooke started by selling the clothing from her own wardrobe to make enough money to fund her first collection which she had intended to have designed and manufactured. She quickly realized that the process would be very costly and greenwashing made it difficult to know if she would be working with people who share her ethics and focus on sustainability. Brooke decided to start with vintage instead which has been such an amazing place for her to be! She also decided on Blazers because they were the items she couldn't let go of, they never really go out of style and always make her feel strong and powerful when she wears them.

Brooke sources vintage blazers from around the globe and currently works with a team of 3 women to up-cycle each one and make them even more beautiful and unique! Working with a team who are located nearby allows Brooke to be really creative and she can also ensure that her team are paid a living wage and have safe conditions to work in! They do something different to each blazer that they sell; things like cropping, changing buttons, taking them in at the waist, removing sleeves, etc.

Blazed is about blazing a new trail in fashion. They breathe new life into items that would have otherwise ended up in landfill and Brooke loves seeing her customers reinventing the blazer in their own unique way. Their blazers are one of a kind just like the women who wear them!
