DISCUSSING TRENDS IN THE INDUSTRY | TONY STUART & COREY GRAY | CO-HOSTS | YOUR DAY OFF PODCAST | @HAIRDUSTRY

Tune in to hear Tony & Corey discuss the trends in the industry based on their perspective as Public Industry Figures!

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

-- Trends we see Post-Covid:

  • In-person education!
  • Stylists have been moving to salon suites for more intimacy and control of their environment

-- Commission Salon Stylists (W2) get to show up 5 min before the client and leave right after

-- Suites and Salon Owners do not have the same luxury as W2 employees

  • 7 days a week all day, it is your life!
  • All the extra money you make on your own, you have to do the work to get it or you will fail!

“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.
