Living Life at a Ten

Céline Williams |

Kristen Gale is the spirited force and founder behind THE TEN SPOT®️ beauty bars’ rise from a singular Toronto location to an acclaimed international franchise with over 40 bustling bars across Canada and the U.S., with a dozen more in the pipeline.

Starting her business at just 24 years old, Kristen has become a trailblazer in the beauty and franchise field with her entrepreneurial flair garnering her numerous accolades, including a spot on Canada’s Top 40 Under 40, the Chatelaine Magazine W100 list, and recognition as one of EY’s Winning Women. Under her leadership, THE TEN SPOT®️ has clinched prestigious awards such as Profit Magazine’s 500 Fastest Growing Companies for four consecutive years, Entrepreneur’s Top Global Franchise list for two, and the CFA’s Franchisee’s Choice Awards for five years running.

Kristen’s mantra, “LIFE AT A TEN®️,” is far more than just a slogan – it’s the driving force behind everything she does and is the embodiment of her approach to both business and life. She’s passionate about empowering women to live their LIFE AT A TEN®️ and believes business ownership is one of the very best ways to do so, since nothing gives you the freedom and control over your life and earning potential like entrepreneurship does! In addition, Kristen’s newly launched signature online LIFE AT A TEN®️ Program, shares her proven strategies, insights, and hands-on experience to empower high-achieving, overwhelmed women who “have it all” to CEO THE SHXT OUT OF LIFE®️; helping women shift from stressed-out and stuck to optimized and energized, thriving in every aspect of their personal lives so they can create and live their own version of LIFE AT A TEN®️.
