KEY TAKEAWAYS:

-- Started Off in a Salon, and after 5 years, was ready for a change!

-- Not wanting to start over, Therese began teaching with the Aveda Institute, which lasted for 8 years.

-- Then, she got to get back behind the chair and then run a salon, expanding a brand to a new area!

-- Working at a salon while in school was important in gaining experience and pushing her career the furthest it could go.

-- RISING STYLISTS: Bring in Models, friends, family, and maybe even clients’ children for practice and faster growth when just out of school and growing to the floor!

-- Hair Schools have tons of regulations and rules that reduce the focus on the students and focus more on attendance and regulated curriculum.

-- Therese was able to buy into the business over time instead of making an upfront investment! This made being a salon owner easier and less risky. Find a partner or investor!

-- Splitting up tasks helps spread the burden of running the business.

-- Running a salon is a lot of work and takes you away from doing hair!

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.
