KEY TAKEAWAYS:

-- Volunteering is the best way to get into fashion shows.

-- Have a team with you to volunteer them, too, because there are a lot of flaky hairdressers who need to be replaced by reliable and consistent hairdressers.

-- Be reliable and consistent if you want success.

-- Find a salon that does a lot of fashion shows if you want to break into this segment of the industry.

-- Promote yourself on social media with appropriate content and hashtags.

-- You MUST show variation and styling skills on social, not just all balayage and cuts.

-- Work for free for a while until you prove yourself and build your resume/portfolio.

-- Runway shows, even when you are not getting paid, you can grab content throughout the process and link to the show’s brand and all the people involved. This is more valuable than the money you might be paid to do the actual hair.

-- Get inspired and inspire your guests to improve your business, customer experience, and personal happiness by doing creative work like runway shows, photoshoots, and classes.

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.
