“This fantastic trade opened up my creative skills to create beauty for people every day.”

— Anastasija Nadeau, Founder with Iris Apfel, Newport Flower Show

I started this fantastic journey back in 2004, finishing my esthetician’s certificate in Academy. Then, as the only esthetician in a busy hair salon, in 2005, I went to become a hairdresser through an intensive one-year full-time program. I was so eager to learn that I passed my stand boards & got licensed three months before graduating! At the same time, I started working part-time as an assistant to a leading hairstylist in CT, where I attained hands-on working knowledge. At first, I was slower and more meticulous at my trade to achieve perfection. Now, I feel like I can do it with my eyes closed. It became a part of me!

Over the years, I added to my list of services by continuing my education, learning to better myself, and giving my clients the best they deserve.

I became an independent salon owner about seven years ago, and it’s a lot of responsibility for what you do and over people, performance, beauty, and perfection! This fantastic trade opened up my creative skills to create beauty for people every day. I love being in my salon environment and going on-site and working to create beauty for great wedding parties!

“Fantastic Salon! I have been with Anastasija for over ten years, and she does beautiful work. She listens patiently and gives great advice. I wish I could give this salon more than five stars!!”
