Today we’d like to introduce you to Moe Mata.
Moe, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
I got my start in the hair industry back in 2011-2012, up in Northern Arizona! Beauty school & doing hair wasn’t something I saw in my future but I’m glad it ended up working out, haha! I started at a MasterCuts in the Flagstaff mall and ended up staying in the corporate salon world for like 6 or 7 years before I finally made the leap to go independent and start my own business in 2021. It’s kind of been a whirlwind ever since! Taking a risk on myself has been the single most rewarding decision I’ve ever made. My most recent career pivot was opening my own private salon studio in Tempe this January! Located off Mill & Baseline is where Hair Ghoul Moe now resides. 🪦
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
The path has been anything but easy, but I wouldn’t want to walk any other one to be honest. After almost 6 years with my first company, just a day before New Year’s Eve of 2019 we were given notice via email saying that at end of business day, we were closing 6pm the next day. Happy New Years, hahaha! This industry has definitely taught me to always be ready for anything. Trust in yourself and what you bring to the table, and everything will work out. New starts are around every corner, and sometimes they are exactly what you need! 🙂
Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
I call myself a hair artist and I specialize in alternative and craft haircuts. I used to be the one stop shop for cut and color, but over time I have really honed in on my love for all the weird and funky haircuts anyone could dream up. Anything involving a razor or texture, and I’m your guy!
I’m known for having a safe and welcoming little freak corner where you can really let your mask slip and truly be yourself.
I am incredibly proud of the space I was able to create to provide the best possible service to all my Ghouls. ♡ It is currently nominated top 100 suites globally so proud is definitely an understatement. 💚
I think my authenticity and my dedication to my craft is really what sets me apart from the rest.
I love what I do, and I simply cannot hide my love for it or all of my ghouls hahahaha!
How do you think about happiness?
My dogs. Sunrises & sunsets. Weird hair. Good ass music. Art. Supportive creative pals ♡
All things that help fill the “Moe cup”,
I’m a simple guy.
What else could ya possibly need?
