David Wenzel

Salon & Spa Business Consultant
Multi-Six-Figure Salon Owner • Vision-Driven Leader

David Wenzel is a salon and spa business consultant, award-winning salon owner, and leadership strategist with deep roots in the beauty industry. Known for blending financial clarity, elevated guest experience, and strong leadership systems, David helps owners build profitable businesses that don’t rely on burnout or constant owner presence.

As the owner of a successful, multi-six-figure salon, David understands the real-world challenges salon and spa owners face: staffing struggles, inconsistent profits, lack of systems, and feeling trapped behind the chair. His work is grounded in practical strategy, proven metrics, and human-centered leadership, not theory.

David has spent years transforming his own salon into a systems-driven, team-led business, earning industry recognition while building a culture rooted in accountability, growth, and exceptional hospitality. His approach focuses on turning chaos into clarity by helping owners move from overwhelmed operators to confident CEOs.

Through consulting, coaching, and immersive training programs, David works with salon and spa owners nationwide to increase profitability, strengthen leadership teams, and create businesses that support both financial success and personal freedom.

“Before Empowering You, I was like a raft floating in the deep sea. I had no real control of income projections. No way to get from A to Z. I had utilized agencies like the SBA, however they did not know our industry. With the help of a specialized consultant like Kim Gibson, who is a successful owner, it has helped me understand my numbers and price myself correctly to stay in business, but to give me the tools I need to create a culture of success.”
