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.
Online e commerce here, been free falling for months, record lows after record lows. Entertainment and hobbies consumption is way down last I saw (we sell crafting supplies online exclusively).
Im surprised. I would think people cutting out dining and movies would spend on craft items?
