hi! I’m “d”

Hi friend, welcome to Studio D Luxe! Im Darlene, but those closest to me call me “D”. I’m originally from Chicago and now proudly serving the Naperville and Saint Louis areas.

As a fellow self care queen, I know exactly how important it is to feel pampered, calm, and glamorous in a relaxing ambiance. I’ve designed my studio suite salon experience in a way that will leave you feeling uplifted, recharged, and more confident than ever before.

After 15+ years behind the chair, I’ve never been more in love with my clients or my craft! I specialize in ammonia-free color systems, and extensions, and I teach other stylists how to master both with intention.

While most stylists offer a great first visit and solid maintenance care thereafter, I see my role as your stylists a bit differently. Every appointment is one-on-one, thoughtfully timed, and tailored to you. Because your hair should never feel one-size-fits-all. From ammonia-free color that creates a more breathable experience to the way your hair grows, moves, and lives day to day, nothing is overlooked.

In the wild..

When I’m not at the salon, you’ll usually find me giving all the sass to the trainers in my workout classes

Being personally victimized by dairy

Playing Skip-Bo with my family

Under a heated blanket or looking to start a fire

Watching my comfort show, Schitt’s Creek

Or wandering Target with a Diet Coke like I don’t have 17 things on my to-do list

If you’re ready for hair that looks good, feels right, and actually fits your life, you’re in the right place.
