This week, on the podcast, host Eva Hartling speaks with Kristen Gale, CEO of THE TEN SPOT, Canada’s largest and fastest growing beauty bar and retail company. Kristen is the recipient of multiple awards, including Top 40 under 40, Growth 500’s fastest growing companies by Canadian Business and Maclean’s, and PROFIT 500’s fastest growing companies in Canada for numerous years. Over 15 years ago, Kristen saw an opportunity to close the gap existing in the beauty market between lower-end nail shops, and the expensive and often over-the-top spas. She dreamed up an offering that combined the efficiency of the former, with the service excellence of the latter. Kristen successfully targeted the demographic of women aged 18 to 65 with a goal to deliver what all busy women want: a one-stop-shop for getting all of our beauty maintenance services in one “spot”. Today, the rest is history: THE TEN SPOT is now a successful network of beautifully designed studios, both company-owned and franchised, in which customers receive a range of exceptional nail, waxing, eyebrow + eyelash, as well as facial services, and where teams receive a living wage and commissions, benefits, exceptional training, and ongoing educational opportunities.........This season of our podcast is brought to you by TD Canada Women in Enterprise. TD is proud to support women entrepreneurs and help them achieve success and growth through its program of educational workshops, financing and mentorship opportunities!

Kristen Gale | CEO, THE TEN SPOT | Combining Exceptional Service and Efficiency At Fastest Growing One-Stop Beauty Bar

In this episode of The betterHUMAN podcast, we’re joined by Kristen Gale. Kristen is the CEO + Creator of THE TEN SPOT® Beauty Bars, one of the fastest-growing beauty services company with locations across North America. Starting with a single store in Toronto’s then up-and-coming Queen West neighbourhood, THE TEN SPOT® has become a beloved brand, channelling Kristen’s edgy, honest humour and commitment to excellence. Kristen is guided by her values of inclusiveness. Her company’s motto – ‘we exist to make everyone feel like a TEN’ – derives from a sense that every person has the right to feel great about themselves. Drawing on her father’s advice of ‘do whatever you want, just make it a business,’ Kristen encourages others, especially young women to follow their dreams and in practical terms make their ‘Plan A’ a reality. Kristen also speaks to how entrepreneurialism can help level the playing field for women. As a mother and business owner, Kristen has also mastered work-life integration as an alternative to work-life balance. In this episode of the betterHUMAN podcast, Kristen focuses on the life lessons she learnt the hard way and the core personal &amp; business values guiding her path in an ever-competitive world.  As a business leader, Kristen focuses on the need to love the business before becoming a business owner. As an entrepreneur you're faced with a never-ending to-do list and whilst you tackle the challenges if you can still love the business side of things you're more likely to succeed in business. Kristen also gives specific advice to young entrepreneurs to first be an employee in the business and learn the foundational knowledge required to operate the business. Kristen has shared precious lessons for young female entrepreneurs to succeed in the business world that will act as a guiding path for young aspiring entrepreneurs in times of need.
