Mihreteab S
FOUNDER AND CEO
Mihreteab is the visionary behind Gozdos, driven by a personal experience that revealed a gap in the beauty industry. When his girlfriend (now wife) visited him in Seattle from North Carolina, they struggled to find a salon with availability and fair pricing to get her hair done. That moment sparked an idea: what if getting your hair styled could be as easy as ordering food—convenient, personalized, and brought to your door?
With a background in technology and a strong entrepreneurial mindset, Mihreteab set out to build Gozdos: a platform that connects skilled hairdressers with clients seeking high-quality, on-demand services at their preferred location. Today, he leads Gozdos with a mission to make beauty care more accessible, flexible, and empowering—for both clients and professionals.
