His artistic vision has been the foundation that spearheaded Darren’s profile in the delivery of Residential design, interior design, Sculpture, Painting, Event Management and his Award Winning hairdressing salon.
It is important to note that Darren is exclusively at DARREN GRAYSON SALON at 45 Gheringhap Street Geelong and the chain salons called DEEGEES HAIRDRESSERS donot belong or have anything to do with Darrens hairdressing career or business ventures.

After an incredibly successful year in his residential design position, Darren, in May of 2007 resigned his role as Chairperson of Judges, and boardmember of the Hair and Beauty Industry of Australia (HBIA) and assisting Artistic Direction to the image projection of the HBIA. To be in a position of responsibility to the board, and his residential clients became to intensive for Darrens high standards and scouring eye for detail. The dedication to ultimate service in his residentual design ruled as primary importance, especially when came to project management.
Darren now dedicates his time to the businesses of primarly the salon, home design and selective major events. From these platforms, Darren injects his own brand of enthusiasm, creativity and skill to both excite and inspire his clients. Having the passion to give much of yourself and your creativity is in it`s self, satisfying because you develop individuals lifestyles especially when they respect and trust your experience and eye for detail.
Darren works with two others in his residential design business, but is solely responsible for the design conception and project management of the homes.
The Darren Grayson Salon Team is made up of dedicated stylists where Darren works along side with 5 days a week. Darren and his creative team were invited to produce and perform an inspirational show intitled `FLAUNT` at the "2006 Australian Hair Expo". They designed 10 entire looks including garments and accessories. 2007, the team were invited back to present our follow up presentation intitled `SEDUCE 007`. 2008 has been dedicated to the developement of new concepts for the salon and the residential design business.
It was in 1990, Darren commenced working in the areas of interior design and structure, and has well and truly placed his own home design stamp on numerous lifestyle homes created for his clients, from External and Internal Structure and Landscaping, to Lighting and Furnishings, with 2006 achieving his first international front cover, 12 page feature of a home he had completed. Darren believes "you can apply yourself to all avenues of aesthetic design if you have an eye for shape, balance and form".
Ten years ago Darren's artistic abilities lent themselves to designing and coordinating event management. "Creating a temporary ambient environment to excite the senses as the event dynamically unfolds, and to ensure the client’s special occasion is what they want and more, are essential components of the formula for ensuring success and satisfaction in my work".
Darren extends his talents to Paintings and Sculpture, a selection of which can be found in some of his home design projects, creating some wonderful spaces for his clients in which to enjoy their day-to-day home life.
One of the keys to Darren's success is his ability to direct a client's vision, or to inspire a vision and guide them through the creative process as the project evolves. Darren enjoys taking on projects that incorporates all aspects of design to create the complete picture - whether it’s a personal image, a wonderful home, an unforgettable event or a piece of striking art. He believes when you employ a professional to create your look, it is paramount the designer and the client understand one another. The best results are truly achieved when both parties trust one another.
` Home Design, Event Design, Interior Concepts, Painting and Sculpture and personal image are all linked by the common thread of ‘aesthetic understanding. My expression of that is what allows me to achieve my results. The very ‘diversity’ of project types I take on definitely contributes to my satisfaction in all my projects simply by virtue of the fact that working in that environment allows ideas more or less to feed from one another. The flow of ideas and the chance of continued inspiration has the opportunity to be greater."
