Darling & Dapper

Stylist SPOTLIGHT! 🎉🎉

Have you met Taylor yet? You really should.

Taylor has been a stylist for over 6 years, and specializes in custom blonding--but if blonde isn't your thing? She can custom create the perfect color, just for you!

No matter what look you're going for, Taylor prides herself in not only helping achieve your hair goals, but giving you a safe and welcome place to just relax in her chair.

We just adore her!
Send her lots of love from us! Hair by Taylor Ashlea

Extensions have come a LONG way in recent years, and we are totally here for it! Check out this amazing transformation Vanessa Fegyo did using K-Tips!

K-Tips, or keratin-tips, provide the most natural look and feel of all extension installation methods. They are attached to the hair with keratin bonds in tiny sections. You can brush them along with your own hair, and unlike other extensions, can be parted any way you want and will still look natural. Plus they last 3-4 MONTHS!

"Why do I love working with Darling & Dapper!?

Honestly, the welcoming and accepting atmosphere. No judgment here; You can be your weirdest self and it’s celebrated!! These people have been my second family for years, whether they are new or the og’s :) Liz is one my favorite people and has created such a beautiful home for all of us." - Amber

GUESS WHAT?!

Today is Amber's birthday!

She is a magical unicorn who has been with us since almost day 1, and we have had the pleasure of watching her grow from a wee babe receptionist, through hair school, assistant and now one of the most sought after stylists in Hampton Roads!
We're incredibly lucky to have her, and even though shes getting married in June -- she'll still always be our little nugget.

Happy birthday, Amber!! We love you! 🦄
(do us a fav and send her lots of b-day love on Instagram! @haircrafted_beautybyamber)

Obsessed with this perfectly twisted bridal up-do. Classic, yet so modern at the same time!

Are you loving the bridal twist trend as much as us?

This look was perfected by Yesica! Be sure to follow her on Instagram at @yesi_beautyguru_cr8.s

You know what they say—April showers bring May flowers, and we are definitely have all of that happening here at Darling & Dapper. We never get tired of the beautiful decor here!

What's your favorite spring hair trend so far? Bright red bob? A dark beachy wave? Just a few highlights here and there?
(best part is, we do them all!)

Aw! YAY! Thank you SO much for the kind review! We love that you love your hair & appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with us!

(Plus, we totally agree, Vanessa IS pretty amazing!)

Darling & Dapper

We’re so happy to say that we have spaces available for rent inside The Darling Collective!! These suites are a blank space that you can go wild in! But… a quiet kind of wild. They can be used for professional office use, or relaxing services - no hair dryers, political debates, or dance parties.

We’re looking for renters to fill two suites. Suite #1 is 10x14, and suite #2 is 9x13. Both have large frosted windows to let all that natural light in while still being private! With your suite, you will have access to a shared reception area, washer and dryer, bathroom, and breakroom. Rent terms and pricing is negotiable.

If you’ve been to Darling & Dapper, you know it’s an L-shaped building, The Darling Collective is located in the first section of the building right off of Laskin Road! Your neighbors will include a fabulous microblader and a phenomenal esthetician.

Interested in learning more? Give Liz a call at the salon! Or send us an email!

Darling & Dapper We do all the things! Cuts, colors, barbering, bridal hair and makeup.

Darling & Dapper

You read that correctly - we’re looking to grow our wedding team. We’re looking for those who can do both hair and makeup, but if your strength lies in one or the other, that’s fine too!

Since you won’t be cutting or coloring, no license is needed! BUT general knowledge of styling and makeup application is required. We’ll be offering additional Darling and Dapper training as well.

Wondering about hours? Weekend availability IS required. Bonus points if you have some flexibility during the week for trials.

For this opportunity we are looking for freelancers and contractors, so you can totally be working for another salon full time, we aren't stingy, we like to share. We know, we’re pretty rad - if you think you’re ready to join our wedding team, give us a call and ask for Liz! Or, shoot us an email!

Darling & Dapper

We are looking to grow our team - again! If you’re interested you’ll have two options!

Option #1: Commission with a 50/50 split - color, products and backbar included. If you already have a clientele, bring them along! If not, no worries. At least three years of experience preferred *and* killer people skills are a must.

Option #2: Booth Rental. If this option seems like it would be a great fit for you, but you’re nervous to make the leap – we’ve got you. Our introductory business ownership program is available!

Both options will have you working at Darling & Dapper in our amazing, confidence boosting environment. You must be licensed to apply. We are looking for stylists who are ready to grow with us. If that’s you - reach out!

It doesn't have to be a total hair overhaul to be an absolute glow-up!

Our wonderful Hair by Taylor Ashlea gave this client a partial foil with some hairline detailing (and a little trim, of course) for the perfect bright spring look!

🌟 POP QUIZ! 🌟
What is the BEST part about getting your hair done in a salon? (hint: there are no wrong answers)
1. The "YOU" time
2. Feeling pampered
3. Chatting with your stylist
4. Having someone else wash your hair
5. The REVEAL
6. All of the above

(our answer is 6, but we're curious about yours!)

So thrilled to have been a part of this magical day.

Instead of #EarthDay, today shall be known as Yesica Day!! Because let's be honest - the world shown that much brighter when you were born! 🌎

We love you tons and are so grateful to Taylor Shira for shoving you into our lives. 😍 We would be a lot less fun without you! HAPPY BIRTHDAY YESICA! 🎂

Everyone say "HEY VANESSA!"

Vanessa is one of our amazing VB stylists, and has been a licensed cosmotologist since 2018.
When she isn't behind the chair, you can find her taxiing around her teenage linebacker daughter (seriously!) and traveling as much as possible.
Did we mention she's also a proud military gold-star wife?
Yeah!

She loves all things hair, all things people, and bringing smiles to her clients faces (which isn't hard with an infectious smile like hers)!

Now, THIS is what we call a Badass Balayage Before & After!

Hair By William P used the Foilayage technique to brighten and blend her look into this regrowth for the perfect hair refresher.

If your hair could use a spring pick-me-up, we've got you covered!

We know it's spring around here now but we can still share our favorite bridal looks regardless of the season right?!

Claire absolutely nailed her bridal look between the soft updo, makeup choices, hair piece, and of course the fur wrap.

We also really like working at The Maine of Williamsburg so if you know someone still on the hunt for beauty services, connect us!

Thanks for the shot Erika Mills Photography

This hair color had grown out beautifully and the client just wanted to be freshened up!

Not every appointment has to be a massive undertaking, especially when you love your current color.

We can glaze, tone, trim, and treat to just top ya off until the next time.

We are so down with this trend!

Liz prides herself on connecting with clients and fellow business owners, starting her own network group, hosting get-togethers, connecting throughout styled shoots and clients, and building a large word-of-mouth referral business.

We love Liz around here!
