Hi. I’m Robbie Schaeffer, 27 years old, son of George Schaeffer of OPI fame. Here's a little about me: I’m actually the first Schaeffer with a nail license. I graduated in the spring of 2004 from West Valley Occupational Center, a vocational school in Woodland Hills, Calif. Prior to that, I’d received a marketing degree from California State University, Northridge. However, even though I tried the marketing thing (I worked in OPI’s marketing department in 2003) I realized I wasn’t a cubicle person.
I consider it an asset that I was raised in the nail industry. I have really strong opinions on what makes an ideal salon and on what needs to change in our industry. But, to balance me out, I’ve got a partner in this new venture: Daniel Schilleci, a fraternity brother from college. He’s the management guy. But since he’ll be in Iraq until June or July, his wife, Athena, is currently assuming his role in this project.
The salon I’m opening in Studio City is going to be called Rob|b: An OPI Concept Salon. We hope to open our doors to the public on July 1, 2007.
