Anastasia Beverly Hills - Brow Freeze

Product Information

Hillbrow was on the ‘cutting edge’ of apartheid’s social, political and geographical demise.” [ 19] Anastasia Beverly Hills has spent years being queen of the brows. Whether it’s a big, bold, and bushy brow, a softer brow or a structured brow created with pencil, pomade or powder, you can find everything you need in this treasure trove of a brand. It's little surprise that Soare was a student of architecture, given that symmetry, balance and proportion are at the root of her iconic method. The Golden Ratio follows on from the likes of Pythagoras and da Vinci, using mathematical scale and precision to create three simple steps. Follow them carefully and you'll have flawless eyebrows, which are completely individual to you. Anastasia Beverly Hills cosmetics offers complete tool kits including pencils, brushes and tweezers to help you achieve this at home. With her many years of expertise as a makeup artist, founder Anastasia Soare started her namesake Anastasia Beverly Hills brand in the form of her flagship salon in 1997. Just three years later in 2000 – and with her patented Golden Ratio technology for shaping the perfect brow – she created her first product. Fast forward 14 years or so, and it’s this technology that has revolutionised the world of brows with a whole line of products that are loved by millions. a b c d Musiker, Naomi; Musiker, Reuben (2000).

Having sketched a social, political and economic history, what remains to be explored is the impact of the HIV epidemic on the people of Hillbrow and the nature of the public health response it generated. In the public imagination, Hillbrow’s long association with sex work, criminality and foreigners, has provided fertile ground for constructions of the suburb as “emblematic of diseases of the social body, an ambiguous space of potential infection and contamination” [Nuttall and Mbembe cited in [ 34]]. It is therefore appropriate that Hillbrow became the setting for some of the earliest HIV prevention and support centres in the city. Originally envisaged as the ‘healthiest’ of suburbs, this high-rise inner-city suburb situated in the clean air above the sprawl of mining camps in old Johannesburg later became a progressive space of racial integration and experimentation with newfound identities. Although its more recent history has been marked by corruption, crime, poverty and decline, and while longstanding associations with sex work and drug use persist, a more positive reading of the last decade may yet be possible. Various examples of neighbourhood development have emerged in Hillbrow in recent years. These include efforts such as The Better Buildings Programme through the Johannesburg Property Company that intends to reclaim and rehabilitate buildings taken over by slumlords, and the EKhaya Neighbourhood Programme that seeks to clean up neighbourhoods and make the streets safer [ 42] .Hillbrow enjoyed two massive growth spurts in the twentieth century. By the 1920s, new technology (elevators and reinforced concrete) meant that it was possible to build a few multi-storey buildings, although height restrictions were enforced and private houses still far outnumbered apartment buildings by the early 1940s. With the removal of height restrictions in 1946, however, Hillbrow entered an intensive phase of construction that lasted until the late 1960s. Over this period the number of apartment buildings increased by 250%, while office space doubled. Hillbrow became a high density, high-rise, inner-city neighbourhood, only one kilometre from the centre of Johannesburg [ 4]. Building construction extended outwards towards the neighbouring suburbs of Berea and Yeoville. However, largely due to the implementation of the Rent Control Act of 1949, which was intended to protect the interests of white working class tenants [ 17], no new building developments occurred after the end of the 1960s.

In the early decades of the century, additional health facilities were developed to meet the growing need. Many of these were located on ‘Hospital Hill’, the region adjoining Hillbrow to its east. Here, a ‘non-European hospital’ was established in 1921, followed by a branch of the Johannesburg Hospital in 1924, and a nursing training college, based in three houses across the road. Also on ‘Hospital Hill’, the Transvaal Memorial Hospital, better known as the ‘Children’s Hospital’, was built in 1923.
