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.

    Stop it with the guilt trip. I am already in Europe for a vacation. I am not flying for a hair appointment.

    As for scraping by, it is not my job to give people money because they don’t have a sustainable business.

    This is the same client mentality that gets my waitress friend enough tips to pay for her luxury car with 2 days of tips at the restaurant.

    Lastly, y’all know that they expect more than a 5 dollar tip. Don’t act like they don’t. I think their job is important, but I don’t want to tip.
