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.

    Salons have been inflating their prices to an insane amount. Like $100+ for a haircut from someone two years out of school. Cut & color is $450 minimum plus they expect a 20% tip. If salons want more customers, they need to lower their prices. It’s simple supply and demand.
