Hi, I'm Darby 

Great hair isn’t just about the look—it’s about the feeling. I love helping my clients feel confident, radiant, and completely at home in their own skin. Whether it’s a fresh cut, effortless color, or a total transformation, my goal is always the same: to bring out your natural beauty in a way that feels authentic, modern, and lived-in.

 

I started my journey at the Aveda Institute of Chapel Hill, then took a leap to New York City, where I spent three years honing my craft behind the chair. From there, I crossed the pond to London, training at Vidal Sassoon’s renowned 16-week postgraduate course, where I mastered precision cutting and advanced color techniques. Now, as a Raleigh native, I’m back home—and I couldn’t be more excited to bring everything I’ve learned to my incredible clients here.

 

I specialize in lived-in color, balayage, dimensional highlights, color correction, and precision cutting. My approach? Effortless, low-maintenance, and tailored just for you.

 

When I’m not behind the chair, you’ll find me traveling the world, spending time with my dog, and soaking up inspiration from everywhere I go.

 

Can’t wait to meet you and create some hair magic together!
