Today we’d like to introduce you to Hannah Mejia.
Hi Hannah, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
I am a San Diego native and have always been immersed in an artistic culture. I started my journey with hair 15 years ago and have loved it every step of the way. I love being a colorist and helping transform clients into who they truly dream to be with their authentic self. I am an international educator with Danger Jones and enjoy traveling to educate and meet new artists around the world!
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
I have two sons and having them at a young age this industry has been so good to me. Being a single mom for a good chunk of time was really my only struggle to feel as though I was spread thin between mom love and behind the chair. But all of my clients were so great and supportive through a hard time in my life and I’m forever grateful for that.
Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
I specialize in all color, but what I’m more known for is my creative bold colors. I love helping client express themselves through their hair color and I love creating something new to match lifestyles and personalities. I work for an amazing color brand Danger Jones that truly does put the artist first so it’s great to have that support behind me. I won a Behind the Chair Award in 2024, which is a global hair competition. I feel like who I am personally is what sets me apart from other artists. I really truly love sitting with my clients and getting to know them so I can really
Customized their hair to fit who they are as an individual themselves
Networking and finding a mentor can have such a positive impact on one’s life and career. Any advice?
While in school they tell you to do and try everything and I really think that’s so important. If you feel passionate about one thing after that then stick with it! Continued education is a huge part of the industry since it’s always changing, and for networking as well! You’re growing yourself and your community. Graduating from school I found a commission salon to assist stylists and continue to grow myself and work my way up from there.
