A Few Things About Me

Hello! My name is Tazia Moss and I want you to know how excited I am about the beauty industry. My Mom is also a hairdresser and I loved growing up watching her take care of and transform her clients. I enjoyed the times that I got to go to the salon after school and watch her work. I realized at a young age that I wanted to be involved with the industry because I realized I could use my creativity. I also love getting to know people, and I think people are incredibly fascinating because of their different looks, cultures and personality traits. I am someone who enjoys accomplishment and results from hard work. I get along well with others, and I am skilled at learning new concepts quickly. I work well under pressure and can communicate clearly and effectively. I believe you will find me well qualified for this experience. I represent the beauty industry well because I work hard, and I make sure any job is done right.

Where I Have Been

I received my nail license in 2007 and have worked in a couple different salons. While working, I continued going to school at Utah Valley University where I graduated with a bachelor’s degree in communications, emphasizing in public relations. I enjoyed my years at college and knew my degree would help me as I pursued my true passion: working in the beauty industry. Getting my degree showed me that I am capable of anything, and I am excited to use what I learned to help me in my future career as a beautician. When I am at work, I realize how much I love being a nail technician because I never feel like I am working when I’m doing my clients nails. This made me decide to expand my abilities within the salon, so I decided to go to Paul Mitchell The School. And that leads me to…

Where I am Now

I am so grateful that I joined Paul Mitchell and am becoming a hairstylist. While I’ve been at school I’ve been on Student Council, The Take Home Team, Green Team, Shellac Nail Team, Be Nice or Else Team, and the Design Team. These teams have given me great opportunities to get involved with fashion shows, fundraisers, pageants, styling, makeup, cut-a-thons and promoting Paul Mitchell hair products. I recently returned home from Las Vegas, Nevada from a Paul Mitchell Hair show. I received amazing training and information while meeting some of my mentors. I have also been certified in Anastasia Eyebrows and Bella Lash Eyelash Extensions. I take pleasure in learning and implementing each thing I learn. I enjoy several areas of the beauty industry. I love talking to clients while giving them their services because they can become your good friends for life. I know I will always be involved in the beauty industry because it is my true passion.

Where I am Going

I will be graduating from Paul Mitchell the School October 2012. I want to cut, color, texture, do hair extensions, wax, apply eyelash extensions, acrylic nails, manicures, pedicures, glitter toes and shellac nails. After I’ve gained a sufficient amount of experience I want to open my own full service salon. I believe that my experience taking marketing, business and advertising classes at Utah Valley University will also help me in owning my salon. This is something I have always dreamed of, and I know it is something that I can do. I enjoy learning and I know that going to Beacon would be a wonderful opportunity to learn from professionals, get hands on experience, and make career contacts with those in the industry. This trip would allow me to become connected with professionals and other beauty students as well. These connections could help me obtain a job in the future. I know if I were to go I would learn the latest beauty techniques. This trip would strengthen and build my resume, help determine what aspect of the industry truly excites me, and broaden my perspective. I’m grateful for this opportunity. This is a chance of a lifetime and I can’t wait to be a part of it.
