KEY TAKEAWAYS:

🔅Biggest focus of Cosm. Students: Finances; specifically how to make a salon suite after school work financially

🔅Cosm. Students are being taught to build their IG, and Raegine is seeing success.

🔅Social media and a good financial strategy are not enough, though. They have to have the drive to make it work.

🔅60-70% of students are going straight to suite rental.

🔅Raegine has noticed more success over time with this move. However, their success still hinges on drive and the commitment to continuing their education and not relying on the education they got in beauty school.

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.
