A huge champion for what ROP is all about, that welcoming smile on Virginia’s face is truly genuine because there’s no place she’d rather be than in the salon making people feel beautiful. She’s loved doing hair since childhood when she gave all her Barbies pixie cuts, and now, after 20 years at Robert of Philadelphia, she’s a multi-talented hairstylist who does it all but still loves doing short, edgy, haircuts. For Virginia, nothing tops the memories she’s shared with her clients. “I’ve laughed, I’ve danced, and I’ve cried with them. I’ve done the hair of whole families, from grandmothers through grandkids. It’s such a beautiful, intimate thing.” Virginia’s spritz of advice is to never stop learning because if you stop learning, you stop growing.
