When you go to a popular salon the prices are expensive and there's most likely a wait. With a local salon, you're treated like a friend and a valued person as well as their client. You're supporting someone, not a corporation and that makes people, myself included, feel good about spending their money.

They're usually inexpensive

Because they are a small business they only charge as much as they need to.

They really care about giving you what you want

When a small salon is working on your nails, hair, etc. they're going to take their time and perfect it for you because they care about their clients LOVING what is being done.

The salon is not going to rush you out

Giphy

When going to big salons, they pump customers in and out as quick as possible. Small businesses are likely to make you comfortable to ensure you're happy with your experience.

Your money isn't all they care about

Giphy

You won't ever hear a small salon owner or stylist beg for a tip. They treat you well so you'll come again and if you tip (as you should) they will greatly appreciate you.

They take pride in their work

Giphy

Many small businesses styled hairdressers and nail technicians will take photos of your hair/nails to show off the job they've done. This means they think they've done really well and cared about the end product.

They make you feel at home

Giphy

They know you as a person not just a number on their list of customers.

Supporting a small business is empowering

Giphy

When you are supporting someone who is working hard just like yourself it feels awesome to be able to help that person out!

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
