Closing my salon
I own a 6 station salon and have made the decision that I can no longer fulfill my ownership duties and keep my sanity. In the last year, I have gone through a high risk pregnancy, traumatic birth, and the beginning of raising an amazing, medically complex child. Life hasn’t just changed, it blew up. I did not make the decision to sell easily, but I see it as the best outcome for my family so I can focus on them. I plan to keep working 3 days a week behind the chair but not have the responsibility of ownership, the upkeep of the space, and the accruing bills.
I told my team and they were so kind and supportive. They’ve all also reached out to me independently since saying incredibly heartfelt words of support, pride that I’m putting myself first, and how I was a great boss and made the best environment they’ve ever worked in.
I’m looking for reassurance I’m making the right decision basically and that everything will be ok. Am I making a huge mistake?
