Welcome to Cosmetology 2021 2022 Hello My name

Welcome to Cosmetology 2021 -2022

Hello! My name is Mrs. Darby I was born and raised in Michigan and graduated from Pinckney High School. After graduation, I went on to earn my cosmetologist license at Brighton Institute of Cosmetology in Brighton, Michigan. After working in the industry for 18 years, I decided to take my career to the next level and become a senior licensed cosmetologist. From there, I earned a degree in education to become a state certified cosmetology instructor. I love what I do and I’m excited to teach future cosmetologists.
