​

I’m Marin Johannah, the face behind One Painted Pony.

In 2014, I moved back to San Diego from Los Angeles, wanting my family to experience a slower pace of life and the kind of upbringing I was lucky enough to enjoy.

​

I’ve spent over 20 years in the beauty industry, and somewhere along the way, I realized I wanted to do things a little differently. I opened my own private studio where I could slow down, connect with my clients, and focus on the hair I genuinely love doing.

My specialties are dimensional brunettes, customized wavy haircuts, and smoothing treatments. I’ve always had a soft spot for hair that doesn’t necessarily fit the typical Southern California blonde mold. I love creating beautiful, wearable hair that works with your natural texture and your everyday life.

​

​When I’m not behind the chair, I’m probably planning my next desert getaway, hunting for vintage clothing, or listening to music. Before becoming a full-time hairstylist, I was a DJ, and music is still a huge part of who I am. You can listen to some of my favorites on Spotify through One Painted Pony Radio.

I’m also an animal lover and care about the impact of the products I use, so supporting environmentally conscious and cruelty-free brands is important to me.

More than anything, I appreciate genuine connections, good conversation, and making people feel comfortable being themselves.

Think we’d be a good fit?
