Key Takeaways

-- From a young age, Tuesday was doing hair and got into the industry in an unconventional way.

-- Going from working for someone to working on her own, then back to working with others before opening a salon! Lots of experience!

-- Educators: Teach what you know and have the experience to set your students up for success.

-- Entrepreneurs: Make sure the people advising you and teaching you have the experience you lack and want to learn.

-- Social media is not where we should be looking to understand the work it takes to accomplish something. Social media is where folks show their wins after all the work.

-- Diversifying your experience in business, teams, clients, etc., is a great way to understand how to achieve your goals.

-- The pathway to your goals is not a straight line. It is mired with twists, turns, struggles, triumphs, and relationships.

-- Tuesday had two parents with different paths, which showed her the value of BOTH textbook learning and experience. This built a foundation of learning, education, hard work, and success.👉Follow Tuesday on IG here.

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.
