it was no surprise when he detoured from traditional educational avenues—leaving Dillard University behind to attend The Academy of Scientific Hair Design. He then went on to attend The National Academy of Beauty Arts with special studies under the scientific educational system of Redken. When DaRico opened the ultra lavish, Fusion Salon in his home town, St. Louis,
Missouri—after venturing away from hair care for a short stint—he created a cult of clients who filled his books with standing appointments for months in advance, and secured a waiting list of people eagerly awaiting the chance to enjoy the electrifying experience known as DaRico Magic. DaRico continued cultivating his craft, building his brand,
bettering the entire hair care community. Upon landing in LA, with nothing but a plan to prosper in this new territory, DaRico quickly became a top stylist at the iconic Elgin Charles Salon in Beverly Hills, where he grew his clientele while training other stylists and simultaneously securing editorial bookings through his agent at The Crystal Agency. During this time, he was booked to ensure editorial excellence for publishing powerhouses including: Italian Vogue, Harper’s BAZAAR, Foam, Zink, People Magazine, XXL, Sophisticate’s Black Hair. But it wasn’t until he was booked to create a style to fit charac-
and networking with other professionals for over a decade when he secured a chance to serve as Shaquille O’Neal’s personal and commercial stylist in Los Angeles. He’d fly back and forth between assignments with Shaq, while keeping his standing schedule with his high-profile clients at Fusion Salon. Eventually his gifted abilities were commissioned in California, and DaRico forced himself out on faith with a focus on not only bettering his brand, but also

After DaRico was honored to have the role of Regional Designer for Sebastian International’s Advanced Education Program, his work was reviewed on a global level. Throughout his exceptional career, brands such as Johnson

into a prominent position with industry executives. In his role at L’Oreal: Mizani, DaRico quickly became the educational lead for his team, and within two years he landed the role of haircut designer for the complete L’Oreal family where he would create and design five unique styles, facilitate the education for the haircuts which included everything from diagramming to demonstrating for the core team who would then instruct the educational team. The team would then teach his styles to the world.

He continued that position until he was offered the opportunity to serve as the Brand Ambassador for ORS, where he worked for a year before joining the Clairol family where his work is currently featured for the brand’s Textures and Tones collection nationwide.

Fit Xercise
What is the duration of exercise that we need? We need at least two hours and 30 minutes of exercise in a week of moderate aerobic activities (brisk walking or swimming) or one hour and 15 minutes of vigorous aerobic activities (running). We should also have strength training exercises at least twice a week. As a general goal, we should include at least 30 minutes of physical activity in our daily routine. If we want to lose weight or meet specific fitness goals, we may need to increase our activity even more. If we can’t set aside time for a longer workout, try 10-minute chunks of activity throughout the day. Remember, the more active we are, the greater the benefits.
