I own a hair salon. Typically, November is my busiest season. It has been SO quiet. A lot of my colleagues are also saying the same thing and have had to close up shop because of it - or get a second job.
People keep saying it will get better and the economy will bounce back but I don’t know. I am so close from just throwing in the towel, closing up shop and getting a corporate gig.
The overall macro economy in the U.S. Is seriously stagnant, it isn’t necessarily bad but it isn’t good. The best I’ve seen it was a year or two leading up to Covid. Whether the storm best you can and hope for brighter days.
