KEY TAKEAWAYS:

🔅David has a long career in health and fitness with a focus on biomechanics.

🔅Dealing with spinal issues, David helped heal Jenny where doctors couldn't and started Industry Aligned to bring attention to the physical side of hairdressing!

🔅Everyone has pain; this is a normal part of human physiology. Pain is a great teacher. If you did not experience pain, you could end up injuring yourself even more!

🔅Younglings, you are no different than the older hairdressers; YOU HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR BODY.

🔅ALL BEAUTY PROS: you have no excuse for not being informed about your health... do your research

🔅Folks of all ages are experiencing nerve damage, neck pain, wrist pain, etc.

🔅David does not believe you should be handing off your responsibilities to others; you need to learn to take care of your life, body, and mind. Too many people who do not experience long-term results blame their coaches, trainers, and practitioners instead of owning their personal responsibility.

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.
