KEY TAKEAWAYS:

👉 Relationships that we build with our clients are very special. There are all different types, too! Some are more transactional than others, and some are more intimate than others. The work we do and the impact we have is so much more than the transaction of haircuts, colors, and other chemical work.

👉 If you dread going to work in the morning at your shop or salon, you should go on vacation, take a break, and ask yourself if you love this enough. If you do not love it, you will probably be miserable.

👉 This industry is not for the weak. It is a lot of stress on the body, so stay on top of your posture and physical health… not to mention, working with so many different people with personalized needs is very mentally draining as well. Do you love it?

👉 Go to shows, introduce yourself, ask to shadow or assist to get your “foot in the door,” and remember that relationships are key to your success.

👉 Remember you put your pants on one foot at a time, and most doorways only allow one person through it at a time, so move at your own pace and focus on one step at a time, and you will be on your way to success and happiness.

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.
