"The salons that will excel are those with trained, supported managers who know how to think, execute, coach, and drive results — every single day." - Candice Gliatto, Salon Owner & Qnity Director of Education and Coaching
Real Leadership. Real Results
"The Qnity Manager Training has elevated the way I think about what being a leader means... helping me grow into a stronger, more intentional leader creating the kind of culture and accountability that assists my team and business to thrive.
I've learned big ideas are a lot easier to bring to reality when broken down into visual, verbal, repeatable systems that our team can relate to.
Instead of simply 'talking' more, I'm learning to communicate in ways that are so much more effective.
Jennifer Akers, General Manager, Hollywood Hair Salons
“Engaged team members lead to greater profitability and less turnover."
"My goal is to continue moving from simply managing tasks to creating an environment where the team feels recognized, engaged, challenged and empowered."
Emily Gobble, Manager, Hollywood Hair Salons
“When I joined the leadership team at Hollywood Hair, I didn’t have any formal leadership skills or experience. What I did have was a love for numbers, a deep understanding of our salon, and two and a half years of being part of the team.
Qnity has given me the tools and confidence I need to become a stronger leader and move closer to my professional goals. The classes I have taken have been focused on making my everyday responsibilities more manageable and helping me become more intentional with my time and energy.
Bethany Hoyt, Sales Team Lead Hollywood Hair Shiloh

This Is Not Just a Leadership Course.
This Is Business Readiness.
Most training programs teach soft skills. This program teaches your manager how to run a business — financial confidence, operational structure, team accountability, and the communication tools to hold it all together.
For salon and spa owners who are serious about growth, profitability, and building a business that doesn't depend entirely on them, this is the program that makes it possible. A capable, trained manager is the foundation your salon's future is built on.

Most leadership training teaches soft skills. This program teaches your manager how to run the business they lead: financial confidence, operational structure, team accountability and the communication tools to hold it all together. It’s built specifically for salon and spa managers and led by Candice Gliatto, a salon owner who has worked alongside hundreds of salon and spa businesses.
-
A manager who leads with more structure, clarity and confidence, and a team that feels the difference. Graduates describe communicating more effectively, building stronger accountability and creating a more intentional culture. That matters to the business: the manager drives most of the variation in employee engagement, and engaged teams stay longer and perform better.
-
Both. New managers get the foundation most never receive before stepping into the role. Experienced managers get the business side of leadership: financial confidence, operational structure and a coaching approach that creates real accountability. One general manager came in with more than 15 years in the salon industry and left with a stronger understanding of how to lead the team.
-
Yes. All 8 sessions are live on Zoom, 90 minutes each, from 11am to 12:30pm CT. The cohort starts January 25, 2027 and runs through May 24, 2027. If your attendee misses a session, they get the recording.
-
Yes. This program works for whoever is leading day-to-day operations whether that is the owner, manager, or another key leader. You choose who's the best fit for your business.
-
No. Each seat is tied to one individual for all 8 sessions. Consistency is what makes the peer coaching and accountability work for your attendee and for the rest of the group.
-
They'll get access to the recording. The seat still belongs to them for the remainder of the program although it isn't transferable to someone else for a single session or the rest of the cohort.
-
Each attendee needs their own seat. With only 30 available, we recommend reserving early if more than one person from your team should be in the room.
