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.

    Started an e-commerce business on Shopify in 2020 and was doing really good last year, then orders just stopped over this past summer. After Christmas, I’m closing it down and concentrating on school and finding a steady job again so we can move. I’d love to open a brick-and-mortar store, but not in the shitty town where we live right now.
