KEY TAKEAWAYS:

  • Nick runs a Private Membership Association (PMA)
  • A PMA means that the Federal and State Government rules do not apply as long as no one is in immediate danger and you are not conducting evil practices (verify legal language with a lawyer)
  • There are service-providing members and service-receiving members
  • A PMA is allowed to pay for the lifestyles of its members.
  • Service-Providing Members are instructed to form an LLC and collect a % of dues collected from service-receiving members.
  • The PMA needs to have meetings regularly to maintain legitimacy
  • All members can have varying levels of influence. There are also founding members.
  • Service-receiving Members pay a lifetime membership or a monthly membership. Or you can make the dues payable based on the services they received on each visit...for example: "What amenities did you take advantage of today?... Your dues for the day are..."
  • Check out Revel Alliance on YouTube: search- "Revel Alliance YouTube Private Membership Association."
  • PMAs do not require and do not have to comply with state licensing, health department inspections, alcohol service, etc.
  • PMAs do not have to wait around for licensing when first opening. This means you are not paying rent for a property you cannot use while you are waiting for the state to grant you licensure.

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.
