-- Remember, our business is low-tech and high-touch.

-- Very little, if any, data backs up the claim that social media builds your book better than word of mouth and reviews. Data only shows that it is an integral part of a marketing strategy.

-- Clients that come from social media may tend to be looking for the hottest look, salon, barbershop, or stylist. This is not the persona of a long-term client; beware!

-- Know your numbers, discuss price increases with clients and colleagues, and just make sure you are using data to make smart decisions! (See Pricing Playbook for a guide)

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.
