Darrel Starkey has been hairdressing for over 17 years and running a salon for the past 8. We’ve watched Darrel come up through the ranks, he was part of Project Colour 20/21 and went on to securing a place in the F.A.M.E Team in 2022. In more recent years Darrell has worked on a. number of shoots, finalising in awards across the industry and having his work published in the trade media.

In the past year we’ve seen Darrel grow a business in education, when he introduced his Wigtorship. A two-day mentorship teaching hairdressers how to make and style wigs.

Listen to Darrel talk about the sacrifices he made to get the career he longed for. How he juggles running a salon, his on education and being a brand ambassador.
