this industry is so lonely…
i love doing hair, i really do. but sometimes i wonder what my life would be like if i chose a different career path. this is one of the most stressful careers, that doesn’t slow down, even in the slow season. im an independent 22 year old salon owner (my salon is suite sized), so i am entirely by myself. i gained business incredibly quickly, and i am usually booked 2.5-3ish months out. my mental health has been plummeting and i have to work more and more to keep up with the economy. i have nowhere to go. no where to debrief. i cant afford anything. i’ve already raised my prices twice, but i still like i’m being overran constantly. i just feel so alone sometimes. we just have to swallow that and hear from everyone else constantly. sorry to bring bad vibes, i just need to rant to other people that understand.
