We had the good fortune of connecting with Jan Zanellato and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Jan, is there something you can share with us that those outside of the industry might not be aware of?
You can never stop learning in this industry! With constant changes and evolving trends, regular education is essential to staying ahead and mastering your craft.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I’m grateful to have developed a well-rounded skill set in this industry—because I’ve always been eager to learn, grow, and improve. I never saw myself as “too good” to practice or expand my knowledge, and that mindset has been my greatest asset. I truly love both learning and teaching, because when you can teach something with confidence, that’s when you know you’ve mastered it.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Mother Wolfe Hollywood
Ospi Venice
Concert at Hollywood bowl
Laguna beach
Skal lido village

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
A huge thank you to Vidal Sassoon and Bumble & Bumble academies for providing the foundation that helped shape my career. And a special shoutout to Framesi for an incredible color basics class back in the day—it all played a key role in my journey!
