I'm very curious....how do you salon owners find so much time to post on all the different forums? I'm under the impression that owning a salon doesn't give you a whole lot of free time. I won't be an owner until December, but I"m working full time now at another job, and barely have time to READ everything, let alone post! Do I have the wrong impression of salon ownership or what? Can anyone shed some light on what I can expect as far as time management once our salon IS open?Thanks!Laney

I do believe a lot of people misunderstand self employment. It won't be the first time I've been self employed....and I do realize it's a 24/7 job, understandably. We had friends that actually thought we could take off and go to the Bahamas or travel whenever we felt like it, and the last straw was when the comment was made that I didn't have to worry about bills because the business paid for everything! Can you imagine???? I know we'll be putting in long hours, but wondered how you find time to relax and let out the stress when needed, when you're undoubtedly exhausted.Thanks!Laney

Like Chunn, I too often have to put in anywhere from 8-15 hours a day.But I do have employees working for me at all times, so I am able to jump on the board quite frequently and check out all the forums.I also have a computer at home so I log on from there also.

chunn makes me work 20 to 22 hours a day. And he only allows 10 mins for lunch...and then all I can eat is Taco Bell, because its cheap...a real slave driver....(just kiddin Mike)
