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.
I was wondering if it was just me! I officially went back to the beauty industry after taking a hiatus during the pandemic (I am a freelance makeup artist and the company I worked alongside had major changes at that time as well), and I had a relatively decent summer for it being my first year back, but October and November have been crickets!
