Hannah was born and raised in a small town in Pennsylvania. She is a middle child with an older brother and a younger sister, and the three of them are blessed with two incredible parents. She holds her family closer than anything in her life, even though her move to Tampa has separated them by 1k miles. In PA, her childhood was filled with, what are now, amazing memories. She lived in a place where her and her siblings could ride their bikes up and down the road without a car passing for an hour. She reminisces on building waterfalls in the creek and building forts in the woods. Now that she looks back on those rolling hills and open skies, she remembers falling asleep to the sound of the stream out of her window, and says “I am forever thankful to my parents for gifting me with the experience of “freedom” at such a young age."
Maybe that life-lasting feeling of freedom set Hannah apart from the typical 19 year old, because in 2016 she moved to Dublin, Ireland on a “Work-Holiday” Visa and pursued her career as a Hair Stylist (just after graduating from Toni&Guy Academy in PA.) She had the incredible opportunity to study under world-renowned, Salon Owner and Wella Educator - Mr. David Campbell. Not only did she continue her education at the Academy of House of Colour, but she worked as a stylist in 1 of the 5 House of Colour Salons in downtown Dublin. Hannah’s year in Dublin changed her perspective on life, and her career forever.
With her Visa nearing expiration, she returned to Pennsylvania and embarked on her career in American hair. She worked, full time, as a Stylist at Blu Salon and Spa in Lancaster. While she gained another 1.5 years of experience, she says she "saw more in my future than staying in a 'relatively' small place for the rest of my life.” After lots of saving, researching, and planning, Hannah packed her life into her Jeep and drove south.
Since her move to Tampa in August of 2018, she has fallen in love with her new journey as Director Stylist @ U.b.U Color Salon. With bright eyes, Hannah says that for the first time in her life, she loves every aspect of her job, thoroughly, every single day. She feels blessed to have the U.b.U team who does nothing but support and encourage her, and each other.
Naturally, Hannah has always felt a sense of adventure and curiosity. This becomes obvious when you ask her what she likes to do in her free time. Not only does Hannah love to travel (which she discovered during her life in Ireland, traveling all throughout Europe), she loves to be active, artistic, and social. Hannah played soccer for 11 years, and excelled in track and cross country in high school. She also loves yoga, golf, tennis, boxing, cycling, running, rollerblading, and spends time in the gym just about every day. You can find her at Crunch Channelside, Cycle Bar, or Title Boxing Club throughout the week! 
Hannah's other hobbies clearly relate to her career which requires a high level of artisticness. She has played the saxophone since she was 7, held 1st chair in four different bands, and played with the Greater Harrisburg Concert Band through summer of 2014. Her knowledge and love for music have inspired to her practice again in hopes to play in a local band or jazz band in the near future. Along with music, Hannah has a love for design - she has recently started refurbishing furniture “just for fun,” and she loves to draw. Other fun facts about Hannah: her favorite food is Vietnamese, she is a morning person, her favorite color is army green, she always remembers a face (but maybe not a name), her middle name is Joi (Joy spelled with an i), she attends Radiant Church of South Tampa, she is not naturally blonde, she is a Cancer but says she relates 100% to her moon sign- Libra, her mom is her best friend (and twin), and her favorite quote is “Focus not on what is seen, but what is unseen."
So if you are in interested in Fitness, have a love for Music and the Arts, if you are into Furniture Restoration or just want to talk Travel, Hannah is the chair you should be in. Come get that Fabulous look you are looking for while you discover new adventures with Hannah.
