My Journey
My fascination with hair began at a very young age, secretly experimenting with styles and colour in my bathroom long before it became a profession. Although I graduated from Monash University (Caulfield) with a major in Computing, I soon realised my true calling was hairdressing. I completed a Higher Diploma in Hairdressing at A Cut Above Academy (Malaysia) and worked in A Cut Above Salon.
After relocating to Melbourne and completing my Certificate III in Hairdressing, I trained as a Junior Colourist at Heading Out Salon in Fitzroy under the mentorship of Caterina Di-Biase, a multiple-time Australian Hairdresser of the Year. Today, I am the Principal Colour and Cutting Specialist at Lattouf The Pines Salon, and a qualified hairdressing educator and assessor, teaching Certificate III Hairdressing at Francapalli Academy, Hawthorn.
This depth of nearly 20 years experience allows me to approach every service with precision and care, from corrective colour to lived in blondes and tailored cuts; always focusing on what suits each individual client. My aim is to create hair that looks refined, feels effortless, and fits seamlessly into your lifestyle.
My focus is now on bringing this level of craftsmanship and education back to the Vermont community. I am based locally four days a week, offering both personalised hair services and hands on hair education with a strong commitment to the local community.

Google Reviews
5.0on Google“I attended this salon today for the first time. I had regrowth, half head of foils and a trim. I couldn’t be happier with the result. Darren is an incredibly talented artist. I’ve been to many hairdressers over the years and this is the best I’ve felt walking out of a salon. Thank you Darren.”
“Darren made me look 5 years younger. I am almost fully grey. Highly recommended.”
