KEY TAKEAWAYS:

  • Instagram has videos on how to create content, how to grow, and even on their algorithms…all on Instagram itself!
  • Based on your consistency and engagement of your stories, IG will use this data to delegate how your photos and videos will show up in the feed.
  • Use questions, polls, location, and hashtags on your stories to enhance engagement.
  • Direct Messages count as engagement!
  • Pitching someone? Trying to get a job somewhere? Use the 'Close Friends' function to get specialized content in front of big names AND push your content up in the feed!
  • Be consistent in posting; it is literally the most important and easiest thing you can do!

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.
