A bit of advice needed please...
I'm currently renting a chair in a salon and doing mobile work on a self employed basis, however right now im unsure if I want to stay doing this or seek employment either at the salon or another job.
The salon on a whole has gotten quieter over the last couple months and its a struggle to make a decent amount there with costs of the rent and products etc.
There is 5 of us there in total and up until now all of us have been self employed. One of the girls (the salon owners niece) has now become employed there but we've been kept on doing rent a chair but from January our rent is going up in price. This has caused a bit of friction at the salon as we cant quite see it being fair of us.
We all promote ourselves but right now I just don't know what I want. I love hairdressing so don't want to give it up.
Do I keep my head down and keep pushing at getting new clients being self employed or seek employment as I'm just not sure what to do as in the next couple years im going to want to think about a family or a house etc.
