meet our ARTIST
For Darlene, great hair has always been a form of art. A Jersey girl with a creative soul, her love for beauty began with childhood Saturdays spent in the salon, where she discovered the magic of a great hair transformation. With a natural passion for painting, design, and all things creative, hairstyling became her favorite way to bring artistry to life.
Darlene has built her career perfecting the art of beautiful, effortless hair. With advanced training from Goldwell and a background as a Keratin Complex Educator, she brings a thoughtful blend of creativity, technique, and hair wellness to every appointment.
Her philosophy is simple:
“Healthy hair is beautiful hair. I believe the best results come from understanding your lifestyle, embracing your individuality, and creating a look that makes you feel like the best version of yourself.”
Her specialty? All things blonde! From sun-kissed balayage and dimensional highlights to rich, customized color, Darlene loves creating looks that feel fresh, natural, and uniquely you. She’s equally passionate about precision cuts, dry and razor cutting, and those perfectly polished, bouncy blowouts.
When she’s not behind the chair, you’ll find Darlene exploring her creative side through art and interior design, traveling, or embracing her love for wellness and healthy living.

And here’s a fun twist: Before joining the Mane.Lobby team, Darlene was actually a client! After falling in love with the salon’s atmosphere, energy, and approach to hair wellness, she knew she’d found her next creative home.
Now she’s bringing her artistry, positive energy, and passion for gorgeous, healthy hair to the Mane.Lobby family.
