KEY TAKEAWAYS:

-- My priority was continuing education, and diversity is second only to education.

-- To me, diversity is important, not only in the clientele but diversity in the team.

-- Rising Stylists want to feel confident that their boss is interested in building them.

-- Rising Stylists also want to feel confident that they can go to their boss when they need help or have an issue.

-- Building a diverse team with a diverse clientele will make the salon more appealing to Rising Stylists.

-- ATTN Rising Stylists: Know what is important to you: education, clientele, diversity, money, etc.

-- ATTN: Salon Owners: Apprenticeships should have clear expectations communicated regularly so the Rising Stylist does not feel they are being held back.

Robert Hughes

“I THINK HAIRSTYLISTS ARE THE COOLEST, NICEST, AND MOST FUN GROUP OF PEOPLE ON THE PLANET! I AM PASSIONATE ABOUT USHERING IN AN EMPOWERED-STYLIST FUTURE, AND I ABSOLUTELY LOVE GETTING STYLISTS FROM ALL WALKS OF LIFE TOGETHER IN A NON-COMPETITIVE ENVIRONMENT WHERE WE CAN LEARN, LAUGH, AND GROW TOGETHER.”
-Said by ME!
Robert started his hair journey as a kid in rural America offering haircuts on the street to kids in the neighborhood, not realizing, one day, he would find himself working the front desk at a hair salon while in high school. From there, his experience from salon-to-salon has included the front of the house, back of the house, stylist, educator, and consultant. It was during this movement through various salons he developed a passion to empower stylists and educate owners on how to raise the industry standard of excellence, mutual respect, and professionalism amongst stylists, managers, owners, and clients. Robert currently is the General Manager and a Master Stylist at Violet Salon in Georgetown, DC.
