Hi. I’m Kim Gibson. I’ve been in the salon industry my whole life growing up as a salon owner’s daughter. My mom sent me to Cosmetology School when I was 16 since they needed another Hairdresser. I went on to be a 6 figure stylist supporting our family and putting my husband through college.  

I have been married since 1982 to my childhood sweetheart. We have 2 wonderful children and 7 delightful grandchildren. We spent our early married years serving and developing ministry in the inner-city of Detroit. I walked away from the salon industry for 10 years and worked for 2 different churches as Director of Ministry during transition times in both the churches. The second church I worked for I oversaw the leadership development of the Pastors and Leaders of 5 churches.

I never looked for a “job” in ministry, so when no other churches called I just wanted to go back to being a hairdresser. I really missed the relationship with the clients. Soon after I started the owner announced she was selling. I purchased the salon 8 years ago. I remodeled and renamed the salon in honor and memory of my mentor my mom. Her salon was Charm Hairstyling and mine is Charm and Company Salons in Oxford Michigan. 

Even with all my leadership experience the first couple years I owned my salon I felt like I had a ball and chain. With the guidance of Empowering You taking every training and consulting, my salon increased 75% in one year. It’s my pleasure to work for Empowering You now that my salon does not require me to be a service provider and is run by my leadership team. I now spend 80% of my time working with salon owners all over the world to experience increased profits and develop systems to create freedom!
