KEY TAKEAWAYS:

🔅If you want to learn and be trained in a way that speeds up your progress toward the big goals, starting at a company with a robust training program is more valuable than starting on your own or at a place that throws you on the floor or charges rent.

🔅Current Generation of Rising Stylists expects school will give them everything they need so they can get started with their career without the need for further education and experience. Lots of ambition; we love ambition!

🔅Regine is grateful for the apprenticeship she took after hair school. The additional learning and experience that she got through training after school elevated her in a way she would have never accomplished without many years of training and paying for her own education.

🔅Education is so very fulfilling when you are the one responsible for someone learning something new or you see a "light bulb" go off.

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.
