Dear Gary,
"I just wanted Salon owners who are struggling to have the success I’ve had thanks to you. So, for those who are in doubt you can direct them to my story:
Before attending seminars by Gary Ahlquist, my salon sales were less than I had always anticipated. The staff did not have the team attitude that I had dreamed of and I knew it was time to take action. So, I went to a show and sat in on one of Gary Ahlquist’s cash flow classes. After listening to his “Salon/Spa Cash Flow Course” on a daily basis, I hired him as a consultant to come to my business (which I actually brought him back a second time for a re-evaluation) and making the changes he suggested in my salon, I began to see amazing positive increases throughout my business. The "retail store" concept made unbelievable leaps in my retail sales and the professional look of my salon.
Specializing in “Hair Color” made my staff and business stand out in our community. On average I would say that my overall service sales started growing at an elevated pace and retail sales tripled as a result of my experience with
Gary
’s systems. I grew my business to become the top salon in my area filled it with professional staff, and then sold it for a great profit during the highest recorded sales period of the history of my salon ownership.
Gary Ahlquist has made a huge impact on me and my salons and any professionals who come in contact with him will eagerly long for more of his sound business principals."
Bless You Gary,

"I first heard Gary Ahlquist speak at a hair show in 1995. I asked him to evaluate my salon and advise me on improvements. Among several great suggestions, the one that helped the most was installing a retail area. He helped me grow from three shelves provided by retail manufacturers to having professional retail shelving which improved the salon’s appearance and multiplied retail sales.
Ten years later, I began preparing to open a new salon. Because
Gary
had been so instrumental in the past, I called him again. He educated me on how best to start a new salon through finding a location, negotiating a lease and putting together a business plan. To reinforce this one day course, I listened to his “Cash Flow Course” on CD’s several times and still refer to it when I have questions. It is a wealth of information for any salon owner and has been instrumental in the success of my new salon."

“Just a note to say thanks for getting us motivated again to grow our business. We met you in
Hershey
,
Pa.
for one of your seminars and we purchased your “Cash Flow Course”. I am an engineer and I help my wife manage the business. I have a business background (CFP courses and MBA courses) and I know that what you teach is sound business techniques, but you present it in a way that is easy to understand and motivational.
We are in the midst of implementing your recommendations in a number of areas and I look forward to the positive impact on our cash flow. I have completed a business plan to implement the six areas that you describe in your course and I have completed the general text “shell” for our website.
We have been in business for over 6 years and our cash flow has been growing slow and steady for that range of time 10-15% per year, but we haven’t really made any major investments or changes that would really stimulate growth and you have motivated us to take the necessary steps. With 3 kids (6, 3, and 11 months) we need all the motivation we can get!”
Keep up the good work!

Dear Gary,
Not only are we profitable (after 6 months in business), doing about $10,000 per month in retail from our store, but our latest marketing promotion after you consulted with us for the third time, has us four months booked in advanced and 3-4 new clients a day calling to book appointments.
Our new slogan around the business with the staff is what ever you tell us to do and when any one questions it we say “this is PURE
GARY
” and we’re doing it.
We are thinking of expanding our 2500 square feet to 10,000.
Thanks-a-Million: not that I am going to pay you that when we reach it and we will.
