AS-Psychology, RYT-500, Practitioner of Mindful Meditation, and Licensed Cosmetologist 

Welcome! My name is Daniel Jacob Hill, as a native to Salt Lake City, Utah my career as a hairstylist began at Taylor Andrews Academy of Hair Design in the summer of 2008, over a decade later I'm here to change the game!
Within my career as a hairstylist I created opportunities to work backstage at New York Fashion Week, Sundance Film Festival, and Ballet West. My love for the theater created a path for me to join Utah Opera and Symphony (2012-2018) as a wig and makeup artist. In 2017 I was offered the opportunity to be the wig and make-up designer for Utah Operas productions of The Long Walk (2017), co-designer of Don Giovanni (2017), and La Boheme (2017). 
Between 2009-2018 I worked for the haircare company, UNITE as an Educator and Regional Artistic Director where I regularly gave public speeches to distributors, clients, and other educators, while also teaching hair cutting and hair styling classes to other industry leaders.

As a practitioner of yoga and other mindfulness practices since the age of 18 I hold a wealth of knowledge on eastern practices like yoga, pranayama, mindful meditation, and  sound bowl ceremonies. In 2019 I traveled to India to expand my knowledge on Sivananada Yoga, Ashtanga Yoga, Pranayama, and Ayurveda. 
In the summer of 2019 I published my book Pattern Breakers. A book on assisting those in the customer service world create healthy patterns, boundaries, and cultivate a strong foundation of empathy to assist them in their work and beyond.
In April 2022 I opened up my first salon, Omni salon + wellness, inspired by years of experience as a hairstylist, my desire for merging wellness practices into the salon experience, and design inspired by traveling the world.
​My purpose within my career is to empower and motivate people to look and feel their best, while also assisting individuals to grow and transform into a new powerful way of living!
