The School That Believes In You

Mr. Bruce is a proud of alumni of Denmark College himself. He brings his knowledge and versatility on the craft of barbering to the senior class. An avid outdoorsman, on the weekends he enjoys fishing and gardening.

Ms. Chávez has been an instructor at Denmark College since 2021. She says her favorite things about teaching with Denmark are that she’s able to help future cosmetologists learn everything they need at the same school where she was taught. When she isn’t helping students shape their future careers, she enjoys the band Fall Out Boy and watching documentaries or playing Animal Crossing.

Ms. Davis is a champion motivator and tactical creator. Guiding students through the education process is her forte but you can often find her sketching out hair styles to create them. When she isn’t at work, you can find her cooking or creating looks for clients of her own.

Mrs. Frye has been an integral part of building the School of Allied Health here at Denmark. She is passionate about connections, whether it is helping students connect concepts or connect to their career, she is understanding, thoughtful, and approachable. She is an expert crafter and lover of home décor, so seek her out for any handy ideas.

Mr. John is an instructor who understands that not every student learns the same. A tenure that is rooted in your success, his adaptability will help you hone your craft. His 40+ years of hands-on barbering training lends itself to hands-on hobbies like fishing and woodworking.

In this ever-changing industry, Mr. Darcell embraces learning and continuing to grow with his students. For 16 years, he has brought his expertise on passing the state board exam as well as practical work on live models. If you have five minutes, catch him to talk about hair shows, barber battles, and meeting celebrity barbers.

Dr. Rao is a medical doctor, but a friendly one at that. He is constantly focused on delivering to the best of his abilities for you. Learning through stories and sharing knowledge is why he finds education so rewarding. When he isn’t starting our medical program, you can find him reading, planting a garden, or cooking in the kitchen.

A kind and nurturing spirit, Ms. Tetter brings her real-world experience to the classroom. She came to Denmark College because of the diversity and the academic freedom that allows her to truly connect with students. Outside of work, Ms. Tetter enjoys reading, cooking, and spending time with her family.

Mr. Raymond Powell has been an instructor with us since Apr 2022 after graduating from the program in 2021. Raymond comes to us after he retired from U.S. Army where he served as an Advanced Individual Training(AIT) Instructor. He made the decision to come back to teach due to his passion for teaching and his love of barbering that was instilled in him as a student. His dedication to helping facilitate careers for his students fuels his drive every day. His other passions include being a father/grandfather, going to White Sox games, managing his fantasy baseball team, and playing video games with his wife.

My journey in the Hair and Barbering Industry has been nothing short of fulfilling. From attending Pivot Point Cosmetology School in 1986 to graduating from Denmark Barber College in 2020 and attaining my Barber Instructors License in 2022, I’ve remained committed to the art of hair styling and barbering. Each day, I look forward to embracing new challenges, staying up-to-date with industry trends, and making a positive impact on the lives of my clients and students. The hair and barbering industry is not just my profession; it is my lifelong passion.
