KEY TAKEAWAYS:

-- Success may mean having a lot of businesses, having a lot of items, or having a lot of money. It may also mean you have a happy family and enough money to pay your bills.

-- People don't stay with you just because they like their hair.

-- Build your brand and business around why people come to you other than good hair.

-- Manual Labor vs Intellectual Labor vs Emotional Labor: Understand how to manage your emotions and see the difference between these types of labor.

-- When you are having an emotional period, grieve, cry, and feel your feelings, but then you have to keep moving forward.

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.
