Despite her challenging past as a single mother of two boys and post her divorce, Mahnaz, with zero financial support, managed to graduate from a PMU school in the 90’s in Iran and rose up to create her own business – a testament to her resilience and fighting spirit.

The year was 2006 when boundless ambition took her to Los Angeles where she polished her English, and began her foray into the world of PMU at the grassroots level, providing services from her home. This endeavor flourished into a thriving clientele that encouraged her to enroll in a PMU Academy in Los Angeles to obtain her state credentials. Her enigmatic talent caught the eye of Master Instructors who guided her towards instructing, acknowledging her innate skills and potential.
