Robert Cromeans Retires After a Trailblazing Career with John Paul Mitchell Systems

Robert Cromeans Retires After a Trailblazing Career with John Paul Mitchell Systems

Aug 28, 2024 | HOME INFORM, INDUSTRY NEWS, INFORM, INFORM HEADER

How this hairdressing icon helped build a global empire and inspired thousands 

After more than three decades of shaping the hair industry, Robert Cromeans, a legendary hairdresser, salon owner, and platform artist, has announced his retirement from John Paul Mitchell Systems (JPMS). Known for his extraordinary artistry, business acumen, and passion for education, Robert leaves behind an inspiring legacy that will continue to influence both established professionals and aspiring hairdressers alike.

Robert’s journey to becoming a global icon began when he joined JPMS as a young stylist, quickly catching the eye of industry giant Jeane Braa. Under her mentorship, Robert rose to prominence, eventually becoming the artistic director in 2000 and the global artistic & business director in 2016. During his time at JPMS, Robert played an instrumental role in the creation of iconic collections and the development of business systems that transformed the way salons operated.

Among his many achievements, Robert’s entrepreneurial success as a salon owner stands out. He founded several salons, with A Robert Cromeans Salon in San Diego, California, becoming a beacon of innovation. His salons weren’t just places to cut hair – they became centres for creativity, learning, and business growth. Robert was responsible for pioneering Take Home, The Wash House, and The Color Bar, business systems that empowered salon owners and stylists to streamline their operations and improve client experiences. 

 

For many hair professionals, Robert’s influence extended far beyond the walls of his salons. He dedicated much of his career to education, traveling to over 40 countries to teach, mentor, and inspire others. His charisma, humour, and deep understanding of the industry made him a sought-after speaker on stages across the globe. He shared not only his innovative techniques but also his philosophy on how stylists could succeed in business while remaining passionate about their craft.

John Paul DeJoria, Co-Founder and Chairman of JPMS, spoke of Robert’s incredible impact: “We are immensely grateful for Robert’s service, dedication, and friendship. He has made a lasting impact on our company and our industry. His legacy will continue to inspire and influence generations to come.”

As Robert steps into retirement, his legacy offers powerful lessons for today’s stylists and salon owners. His career demonstrates the importance of combining creativity with a business savvy approach, of constantly seeking out new ways to innovate and grow, and of always investing in the education and success of others. Whether through his salons or his global educational tours, Robert has shown that the key to long-term success in the hair industry is more than just talent – it’s about vision, leadership, and a commitment to inspiring those around you.
