Meet the Coach

KIM GIBSON

SALON & SPA BUSINESS COACH · FORMER MULTI-6-FIGURE OWNER · FAITH-DRIVEN LEADER

Kim Gibson is a salon and spa business coach, former multi-six-figure owner, and leadership expert with decades of experience in the beauty industry.

She purchased her own salon/spa in 2013 and transformed it from an owner-dependent business into a systems-driven company run by a strong leadership team. In 2021, she successfully sold the salon with all SOPs in place and a thriving team ready for the new owner, proof that her strategies work in the real world, not just on paper.

Before returning to ownership, Kim spent 10 years as a Director of Ministry, overseeing leadership development for pastors and leaders across multiple churches. That background in organizational health and people development is at the core of how she coaches today.

Since 2017, Kim has been a Certified Coach with Empowering You, working with salon and spa owners worldwide to increase profit, elevate leadership, and build businesses that can run without the owner in the building. Her focus is simple: clear numbers, strong systems, and confident leaders who are free to step fully into the CEO role.

“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.”

“My experience with Empowering You has forever changed my life and the future of my salon. I started to take control of our numbers, from our client count, retail sales, rebooks, but most importantly our mindset. My fears of losing my salon, fear of failure, and lack of structure has been restored and with Kim’s help I now fight for my salon’s success and have an amazing team to support me in it! Thank you Kim!”
