Daryl Drake

“Your hair is the unforgettable, ultimate accessory to FASHION that heralds your arrival and prolongs your departure.”

Daryl has studied extensively with Kerastase Paris, Bumble and Bumble in New York City, and L’oreal Studios in London, England.  A veteran of the early days of I Soci, Daryl returned to I Soci in 2008 after working in London for 5 years.  Daryl has a background in theatre and costume design, and his time spent in London and his time traveling in Europe has shaped his work and his inspiration tremendously.

“Coco Chanel is my biggest inspiration!  I like incorporating everyday street inspiration and transforming it into a look, a color trend, cut, or style.  I see how the times, both politically and financially, effect how the looks and styles in the U.S. and in Europe.  My future in the industry is focused on creating new looks, inspiring my peers, and above all, making my clients happy.  The best color in the world is the one that looks good on you!”

“Kerastase is my hair care goddess!  I stand by it 100% and I truly believe in it.  It does what it says it does.  I have worked with many different color lines, like Wella, Goldwell, and L’oreal, but I prefer Wella.  My favorite comb I have had for over 10 years now!”
