FROM SALON EMPLOYEES TO PUBLIC INDUSTRY FIGURES | TONY STUART & COREY GRAY | YOUR DAY OFF PODCAST | HAIRDUSTRY

Tune in to hear how Tony & Corey went from salon employees to Public Industry Figures!

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

  • There are a lot of opportunities in our industry, way more than hair behind the chair.
  • Realizing we couldn't grow at our salon, we moved on and spread our wings.
  • We've seen lots of people go from the salon - suite - to opening a commission salon.
  • We had an idea, developed it, and just went for it and figured it out along the way!
  • We wanted to create a place for hairdressers to get to know celebrity hairdressers and tear down barriers.
  • Now we are bringing our Podcast purpose to life via Presley Poe and Friends Event!

“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.
