Hue Hair Studio is a boutique salon located on West End Avenue in Nashville, TN. The concept was created by Allison Paschal and Robert Roethemeyer, who have been friends and colleagues since 2008. After years of styling at the same salon, they wanted to challenge themselves and their growth; ultimately deciding to start their own studio together. Creating a laid-back yet informative culture where they can train assistants, stay ahead of the latest and greatest trends, and maintain strong relationships with their clients, Allison and Robert took their expertise and passion for their craft and transformed it into a community loved by many.
Hue Hair Studio opened their doors almost three years ago and currently have nine stylists and three apprentice on their team. Their goal was to create an environment that invites clients into a relaxing and chic salon atmosphere, all while striving to maintain quality services and memorable experiences for their guests. Training and education also remained a non-negotiable when Allison and Robert began to add to their team; Specializing in everything from haircuts to healthy lived-in color, dimensional work, extensions, gray coverage, and beyond. Each month all assistants attend a class hosted by Allison and Robert to learn the ins-and-outs to perfect their skills. In addition, Hue Hair also offer classes to external stylists, often hosting influencers and content creators to partake in the fun.
Allison and Robert are in awe of the loyalty of their clients – since majority of their business is referral based, they have formed special relationships with each person who walks through their door.
“I joke that I can’t remember what I ate for breakfast, but the second you sit down in my chair I’m like, ‘how is your son enjoying college?’ or ‘did your daughter make that move to New York?’ It’s all about the interpersonal connections.” Robert shares.
In addition, staying up to date on new technology, techniques, and products is a priority at Hue. Allison and Robert love keeping up with all the hair trends and are excited to now be offering a new hypoallergenic color line that helps clients who are sensitive to standard color. In addition, the pair have perfected the V-Light technique, becoming certified in this new, undetectable way to insert hair extensions, helping add to hairline loss. The beauty industry is everchanging, and Hue is committed to offering the most up to date and healthiest technologies to maintain the integrity of the hair.
“The process of opening and owning a salon has been extremely humbling,” Allison shares. “I’m learning to trust our great staff to help match my energy and balance me along with a great business partner. I still want to take care of my clients one hundred percent, but know that sometimes I am needed elsewhere. Utilizing the team to best our clients has been such a big help and relief.” Robert adds, “Having that teamwork and communication [contribute] to the organic side of a business not having to be perfect almost makes it even better.”
