Kathryn, I live in a small town in Michigan about 5000 population, and a sister town with an additional 10000 people but the regular salons don't hire nail techs, and the nail salons are all asian. I tried to work in one of the asian shops, but after three days I couldn't stay without endangering my own license. NSS. Even walmarts nail salon is empty. I think Michigans unemployment rate is at 11% now. But that is only counting those receiving unemployment benefits. In my AND my husbands family, only 3 people have a job right now, two of which is under 12k a year. No one gets unemployment benefits. My back up being a degree in animal science, and toxicology scientist has not even helped. I've applied throughout the united states, but have not even had a phone interview. Since my husband is a waiter, things are only going to get worse. He depends on tips. He has made only 150 bucks this month so far. We are going to have to sell everything we own in order to pay bills. Selling all the stuff in my salon is the first thing to go, considering my doctor told me if I continued to play with artificial nail products I would be deaf within a year. (Chronic ear infections from allergies to it) I just don't see the light beyond this, only fear of what comes next. I do still have hope to win the lotto though lol... ......

Missy, I'm so sorry to hear about your shop. Where are you? Are there any other salons you can work at? I know here it's hard because we're in such a small town. There's about 3 oriental shops that won't hire anyone but orientals so they're not an option. It's slow here in central FL so even the full service salons aren't hiring. Hope you can work something out.
