Merria Dearman is a master wigmaker and hairstylist with over two decades of experience helping people feel confident, whole, and fully themselves. Her work is rooted in the belief that hair is deeply connected to identity, especially for those navigating medical hair loss or personal transformation. After studying makeup and hair for film and stage at the Vancouver Film School, Merria built a successful career as a hairstylist before a personal experience shifted her path. When her aunt lost her hair during cancer treatment, Merria created a custom wig that restored her sense of self—turning her craft into a lifelong purpose. In 2013, she opened her New York City salon, where demand for her highly realistic wigs quickly grew. As her business expanded, Merria became a leading advocate for ethical sourcing, working directly with partners around the world to ensure fair practices, safe conditions, and responsible production. Her work has been worn by leading figures in fashion and entertainment and recognized for both its artistry and impact. Today, Merria continues to raise industry standards while staying committed to what matters most: helping people feel like themselves again.
