For Darby, great hair is about more than just how it looks—it’s about how it makes you feel. Her approach is rooted in helping clients feel confident, radiant, and completely at ease in their own skin. Whether you’re looking for a soft refresh or a total transformation, she specializes in natural, lived-in color, balayage, dimensional highlights, color correction, and precision cutting, always tailored to you.

 

Darby began her journey at the Aveda Institute of Chapel Hill before moving to New York City, where she spent three years refining her craft. She later trained in London at Vidal Sassoon’s prestigious 16-week postgraduate course, deepening her mastery of both precision cuts and advanced color techniques. Now back in her hometown of Raleigh, Darby brings a global perspective, technical excellence, and an eye for effortless beauty to every appointment.

 

Clients are drawn not just to her skill, but to her calm, caring presence. She’s incredibly reliable, deeply intentional, and brings a sense of luxury and ease to the salon experience. Her warmth, combined with her diverse life experiences, makes her one of those people you instantly feel at home with—and one you’ll look forward to seeing again and again.
