“Qnity gives us the template, and we can leverage our creativity and pick what we like. Some say, ‘here’s the system, follow it.’ Qnity says ‘here’s the system, let’s apply it to you.'”
– Amanda Hair | Owner, So Chic Salon Brands
“When I opened Hello.Salon, I was narrowly focused on the culture of the salon and my previous business partner was concentrated on the financial side of the business. When she left the company, I was quickly overwhelmed with more than I could have imagined. The word I can best describe the feeling is DROWNING. Not having any kind of business education and zero systems set in place to help run the business, I needed something or someone to help guide me in how I was going to execute all of it.
I started working with Qnity and was introduced to the most amazing tools and people ever. Robust use of the 8 Seasons Calendar, Five Functions Planner, and QPlan, has greatly contributed to my success. My team and I are fully engaged in keeping the 8 Seasons Calendar and Five Functions Planner updated and aligned with each other. The 13 Week Tracker took my team’s execution to the next level. I was able to strategize and oversee the weekly leadership activity for my new Operations Manager AND get a new front of house manager up and running in less than a month.
Our leadership team meets once a week to check in our progress and thanks to the power of small steps, we all feel confident and clear on what needs to be happening at all times. I even use it for my personal weekly list of ways to stay engaged with my staff and to ACCE them. Our execution rating went from a 3 out of 10 to a 9 out of 10. I honestly don’t think my business would still be open without Qnity. Being an owner is one of the loneliest and hardest journeys I have ever experienced. Qnity has saved me from not giving up. I now feel like a business owner and not just a hairdresser owning a salon.”

“These past 6 months of coaching us are showing up in our approach to strategy, operating discipline, leadership development and ultimately our bottom line. Worth our time and money? You bet!”

“In 2019, I was in a 400-square-foot office with 2 rooms that I shared with an esthetician. I had been there for 7 years. I had one nurse but we had to work different days since there was no space.
I knew I had been playing small for years but I was ok with that, it’s what made me comfortable. In the back of my head, I knew I needed to grow but it was scary and I was nervous about the unknown. I didn’t feel like I had a clear path and so I was worried that I would fail.
I remember the day that I went to Citrus Salon and Candice Gliatto was doing my hair, I asked her if she knew of any good business classes. There was a pause and she swung my chair around and was like, “Yes!” Shortly after I had a call with Heath and Carrie. Both were great but Heath and I had an instant connection. It was invaluable for me to have a coach and a system that helped me visualize and simplify the steps to my future growth. I finally was not scared to be successful!
I negotiated a lease for a 2600 sq foot location, over 6 times bigger than the space I was in! I moved in January 2020 and Covid hit. It was scary. I cut out so many things to be able to stay afloat, but the one thing I prioritized was my coaching with Qnity. Honestly, I’m not sure how I would have gotten through without the clarity and direction Qnity gave me. We recovered and have been thriving. In fact, since I started working with Qnity I have gone from 400 square feet and 1 employee to 4000 sq ft plus a second 3000 sq foot location, with 8 employees (more to be added soon!) and our revenue has more than tripled.”

“At Finley’s, developing leadership was a huge gap. With the help of the Qnity in Action program, WE made dramatic improvements. We put 3 people into key positions, and promoted all from within. We’re a lot more confident as leaders and all the managers feel good.”
– Scott Finley | Co-Owner, Finley’s Barbershops
“Execution was ranked as our lowest gap when we first began Qnity. We were the salon that wanted to do every idea we thought about. We also thought every idea was a 10. Using our tools, we were able to see the big goal using the 8 seasons calendar and then create the smaller steps with the 5 functions planner and then the 13 week tracker.
We cannot lie, getting into the habit of using them was a challenge for us. The beauty of leaning in to the tools is that everything becomes simplified and mentally more attainable, meaning we aren't getting in our own way by making it harder.
My favorite execution moment: We entered the Kevin Murphy sales tournament and set a goal to be in the top 3 globally and number one in all of North America. By executing a plan ahead of time, setting goals and working backwards, KKBB was able to achieve that goal. That was a big win for our team.”
I have done a LOT of work on my business and Qnity is the best decision I have ever made for my company.”
