Denny Kisner

Marketing + Branding Expert

The passion I hold for our industry stems from my deep empathy and commitment to supporting those who face challenges in their daily professional lives. Growing and developing people is not just my job; it is what I love. At Summit, I found the mentorship and understanding that was missing elsewhere. It’s incredibly rewarding to be the supportive figure for struggling salon owners, offering them reassurance and practical help during tough times.

Summit has been transformative for me, both professionally and personally. My first Summit was a pivotal moment; it helped me transition from chaos to clarity in running a salon business. The principles I learned led to profound changes: implementing structured operations, developing leadership skills, and even founding a marketing company. Summit's influence introduced me to valuable tools like the Enneagram and EOS, which further enhanced my leadership and personal growth.

My journey in this industry began at 19 when I performed my first haircut and quickly progressed to opening my own barber shop. Every day since, I've dedicated myself to sharing all that I've learned with anyone willing to listen. Outside of work, my insatiable curiosity drives me to learn and improve constantly. I see the potential in others, often before they see it in themselves, which is a trait that both defines and fulfills me.
