Meet the Founder & Instructor
​
Shanitra "Shan" founded M.O.B. Academy on the premises of helping transform the braidless skillsets and business mindsets of beauty professionals. She wanted to help her beauty peers build a business not just through their skillset but through learning essential business skills that would help sustain and grow their business.
Shanitra’s former restaurant management and HR Specialist skills helped create and shape her business work ethics in her beauty business. In those roles is where she learned invaluable customer service, communication, management, and time management skills. She resolved employee conflicts, facilitated group orientations, and customer service trainings. These core skills are what foster the business environment for her own beauty business. It’s what has helped her sustain and continue to grow her beauty business.
As M.O.B. Academy continues to grow the business sector of the academy, Shanitra begins to realize that what our academy offers is not only built for beauty pros but for all who want to grow, strengthen, or acquire new business skills.
All of our business trainings are lead by Shanitra "Shan" who has over 20 years of customer service, conflict resolution, and time management skills. She has over 8 years of running and growing a beauty business, with over nine years’ experience in performing the no-braid sew-in weaving technique.

"The most important advice that I can give to a woman just starting her career is that although you may start at entry level if you work hard, you can advance to the next level, the next, and the next. You have to do the work!!!"
"The difference between the microlinks and the braidless sew-in is the type of hair that is used and the way it's installed."
