Headquartered in the Netherlands and operating under the Rob Peetoom Global organization, the Skills for Life Foundation is a nonprofit dedicated to advancing and supporting hairdressing education within the beauty industry.
Guided by our Founder, Rob Peetoom and helmed by our CEO, Rochelle Peetoom, our professional team works with one shared purpose – to create opportunities through education and transform lives through skill .
It began with one salon – and a vision. From a single establishment to a global brand, Rob Peetoom built more than a business; he built a legacy of passion, creativity, and excellence. Now, it’s time to give back – by sharing that same passion to empower the next generation of hairdressers .
Today, with a dedicated team of over 300 professionals worldwide, the Rob Peetoom brand continues to thrive through a strong commitment to education, excellence, and innovation – values that remain at the heart of its global success.
“Love what you do, so you never work a day in your life”
A true visionary in the hairdressing world,
Rob Peetoom has dedicated his life not only to perfecting his craft but also to sharing his knowledge through education and training. His mission has always been to elevate the hairdressing profession while expanding opportunities globally.
Throughout his distinguished career, Rob has received numerous international honors, including the World Master Award and the Global Salon Business Award. He was also appointed Knight in the Order of Orange-Nassau and served for over a decade as Artistic Director of Intercoiffure Mondial.
In 2011, Rob began his international expansion by opening his first salon outside the Netherlands — in Bali, Indonesia. This milestone marked the beginning of a global journey, followed by the opening of salons in New York, USA, and additional locations across Bali.
