Hey folks! I run a small nail salon, and things have been steadily growing, which is awesome — but now I’m staring down the reality of needing some extra funds to upgrade equipment, maybe refresh the décor, and support a little marketing push. I’ve looked at bank loans, but they feel slow and confusing, especially when you just want something flexible that fits the reality of running a salon. I’ve heard there might be financing options out there that actually work well for beauty businesses, but I’m unsure where to start researching or what’s realistic to expect. If anyone here has gone through something like this or knows what options worked for your salon, I’d really appreciate hearing your experience!
