OUR CLIENTS SAY...

Y'NIQUE WRIGHT

Y’nique Touch Salon

What I wanted most out of Elevate was structure and clarity. As a salon owner, I had been running my business based on experience and instinct, but I wanted stronger systems around my finances, marketing, and long-term planning so I could grow with intention instead of just surviving month to month.

The most valuable thing I took from Elevate was learning how to look at my business through data instead of emotion. I became more consistent with tracking revenue, expenses, and client behavior, which helped me make better decisions. For example, I gained a clearer understanding of my monthly overhead and how many clients I need to serve to stay profitable. That shift alone helped me approach pricing, budgeting, and scheduling more strategically.

Elevate also helped me refine my vision. I now have clearer short-term and long-term goals for my salon, including stabilizing operations, increasing visibility, and creating additional income streams beyond services. The program helped me move from just working in my business to thinking like an owner who is building something sustainable.

Top Priority Investigations 

When I joined Elevate, I wasn’t lacking ideas or the ability to generate revenue. I knew how to go out and get business. What I needed was structure. My systems, financial accountability, intentional growth planning, and consistent lead generation were shaky at best. I wanted support in building a stronger foundation so the business I was working so hard to grow could actually sustain that success.

Elevate helped me become a much more confident and disciplined business owner. The biggest value was the structure and accountability. Learning how to operate better systems, track my finances intentionally, and grow the business strategically instead of just reacting to opportunities as they come.

Just as important, it meant a lot to me to be poured into by another Black woman who encouraged me to show up fully as my authentic self. I felt seen, heard, and genuinely supported, not with lip service, but with real time, attention, and measurable results. Over the course of the year, my business revenue grew from 30% in 2025. That growth reflected the systems, accountability, and confidence I gained through Elevate (your support, Reland;)
