Today we’d like to introduce you to Anastasiya Karakantas.

Hi Anastasiya, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.

My Story: From Passion to Profession

I’ve always believed beauty and style are more than surface deep—they’re expressions of who we truly are. My journey began with a pair of scissors, a brush, and a dream to help people feel confident in their own skin.

I started as a hair and nail artist, passionate about creating healthy, custom looks for every client. But soon, I realized it wasn’t just about the perfect haircut or flawless nails—it was about the whole picture. That’s when I expanded into personal styling, helping both women and men discover their hidden power through fashion, hair, and self-expression.

Today, I own a boutique salon and offer personal style coaching in person and virtually. With over 300 glowing reviews, my mission is simple: to bring out the best in you. Whether it’s a head-turning hairstyle, statement nails, or a look that finally feels like you—I’m here to guide you every step of the way.

Style is your story. Let’s tell it Exquisitely!

I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?

It is always tough to start fresh in the new city. Being from Ukraine myself going to the East Coast first and meeting the love of my life and figuring out what I want to do to the beautiful desert of Arizona where I had to start all over by myself, of course with the help of my beautiful and supportive husband. I won’t lie, it was very tough. It still is sometimes but the smiles, the positive attitudes, the hugs and the love I get from my clients makes it so worth it! I’m glad I can help every person who walks through my doors with a passion , an open heart and a caring attitude.

Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?

I’m a beauty and style expert specializing in custom-created hair, healthy nails, and personalized fashion styling for both women and men. At my boutique beauty salon, I focus on bringing out each client’s individuality through looks that are as unique as they are!

I’m known for my ability to transform and elevate my clients from head to toe—whether that’s through dimensional hair color, flawless encapsulated Polygel nails , or curated wardrobe styling. Every service is tailored with care, personalized approach , precision, and a deep understanding of both aesthetic and lifestyle needs.

What truly sets me apart is my holistic approach. I don’t just “do hair” or “style outfits.” I listen, consult, and collaborate to create full transformations that reflect who my clients truly are. Whether you’re visiting me in person or working with me virtually, my goal is always the same: to help you feel confident, powerful, and completely yourself…Exquisitely!

I’m most proud of the trust I’ve built—with over 300 raving 5-star reviews—and the long-term relationships I’ve formed with clients who return not just for beauty services, but for a transformation that runs deeper.

This is more than a job for me—it’s a passion. It’s about helping people own their beauty, their style, and ultimately, their power. Exquisitely!
