Zara Mohammed has been using her knowledge to help others since she started her beauty industry career 20 years ago – teaching makeup skills to patients at the American Cancer Society, inspiring others and encouraging women everywhere. An expert in many different beauty services including fillers, tattooing, facials and eyelash extensions, and mother to four children, three of whom have autism, she also works with autistic people to help them learn valuable cosmetology career skills.

Now this beautiful business owner is setting her sights on her next goal – to open a cosmetology school in Brandon and to make sure that her students are ready for success. Her goal is to empower women to take charge of their careers by learning new skills and techniques that enable them to open their own business and withstand economic ups and downs. Her husband and business partner says, “She is a very inspiring person with a positive attitude who sees the best in everyone.”
