I have several employees working my main salon which is a day spa. I open at 7 am and run the desk until 10 am alone and then I do deposit and all the office work that needs to be done and then I take care of all of the maintenance that needs to taken care in all three salons. Finding time to promote lumiere is just too much for me. With the industry being as slow as it has been for the past couple of years, I can't afford to hire help for office work and maintenance like I was able to do three or four years ago. I just want to sell the lumiere and try to concentrate on keeping my salons open. I sometimes feel like that may be a losing battle if we don't have a huge change in what's going on in the industry. I've talked to a lot of salon owners this season who say it's no better than it was last year. I'm sure there are exceptions, as always or at least that's what they say.
