KEY TAKEAWAYS:

  • The Collective part of the business means that the stylists work in tandem and as a team on clients.
  • They have an apprentice program for beginners.
  • If you are in school or recently graduated, you will execute a model for Therese and the team to know where you are technically.
  • The training program to get "on the floor" has been updated for Rising Stylists, who are more advanced than previous generations due to online education access.
  • Rising Stylists move onto the floor and take clients for only what they have tested out on and shown strength in.
  • Casals has tiered pricing, and once the stylist is booked out with waiting lists, Therese works with the stylist on setting their own prices and running their chair like a business.
  • Casals is a genderless pricing salon, and the tiered system gives clients of various income levels options, regardless of gender.
  • Seasoned Stylists will perform a model to show their craft and perform a self-assessment, and the ideal candidate is willing to share their art with others and grow the next generation.

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.
