Key Takeaways

🔅Cold plunge: reducing inflammation

🔅Focus on your lifestyle and diet before dunking yourself in ice water. The science about inflation can be misleading and misinterpreted, but inflation can also be good and important for your recovery

🔅Stop with the cure-all. There's no such thing. You have to work to be healthy and not be in pain.

🔅Intermittent fasting: heightened, temporary brain function + energy storage. Again, pay attention to your body. Are you getting enough nutritional density on a 24-hour cycle?

🔅Rest & Relaxation: Rest is not recovery. Rest over-self-prescribed and over-prescribed by doctors.

🔅We're too used to making life soft and easy. This is not helping you; it is hurting your physical body. Recovery is a lot more than rest.

“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.
