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.
Yeah, that was my first thought. If that’s the case, then it has been one month away from closing up for the last ten years.
Most small businesses don’t have all that much of a margin.
