Lauanda Davis
Director
Lauanda has been in the Cosmetology industry since 2012 when she started working with her late husband in their school in Springfield, Oregon. Working on the administrative side of the school taught her so much about cosmetology, but she wanted to know more about the "behind the chair" industry and decided to put herself through school. She got her Cosmetology License and right after, her Instructor License. She is licensed in Oregon and Hawaii. With a Bachelors degree in Nursing, and a teaching background, she ended up sharing her time between administration and the instructor position at IBS. Her late husband, Darin Kobatake, was her great mentor during her journey into Cosmetology. His passion, hard work and dedication to the schools was an inspiration to her. Being surround by a wonderful staff and successful students makes her journey a lot more fun. Lauanda is very proud of the school but the first and most important thing in her life is her family.
