After sitting in my chair, no matter who you are or where you come from, you will leave feeling elevated and confident. I will incorporate your face shape, lifestyle, and personality to invigorate your look. When we look this good and feel this great, it's that much easier to live our dreams"[6]

He listed Natalie Portman, Anne Hathaway and Keira Knightley as the three actresses that he would love to someday work with. “I love that these ladies embody such confidence and sophistication. They're the epitome of Hollywood glamour and I would totally rock their hairstyle if given the chance,” Anthony said.[7]

Personal life

Born and raised in the Los Angeles area, he graduated with an AA and license in cosmetology and began “popping around studio to studio” in Hollywood. Pazos is not only dedicated to styling beautiful people - he also does a great deal of work both for animals and for the LGBT community. About two years ago, Pazos rescued two pit bulls named Kenny Powers and Peanut Butter, and calls them, “the sweetest dogs ever.” He makes it a point to mention how inhumane many animals are being treated every day. He says he does not have any tolerance for it.[11]
