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.
Auto repair business here. People are driving until their wheels fall off before doing any repairs. I’ve noticed more customers driving with bald tires. It tough times for most people.
