Totally feel you — beauty and salon owners have such unique cash flow needs, and traditional loans don’t always make sense when you’re juggling inventory, staff, and seasonal ups and downs. What helped me when I was looking into support for my own business was focusing on solutions specifically geared toward salons and service businesses, rather than generic loans that feel rigid and slow. I found some useful info about nail salon financing that breaks down options designed with salons in mind. Seeing that made it way easier to figure out what might actually fit my situation and what questions to ask lenders rather than guessing.
