Salon Life vs Suite Life w/ SALON MANAGER & STYLIST | Inhye Kim, MD

Inhye Kim: Director of Operations, SALON STYLIST, Mother, an Inspiration, and Awesome Human, weighs the pros and cons of working in a salon vs a suite.

Takeaways:

1) SALON PERKS: Collaboration, NO laundry, "RUNNING YOUR OWN BUSINESS IS SO MUCH WORK", in a salon you do not have to do all the work!

2) SUITE PERKS:No messy co-workers to worry about and NO inappropriateness happening around your guests

3) ADVICE: Stylist- Don't sell yourself short; Salons - Don't lie or exaggerate about your compensation or education, we will leave you eventually!

“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.
