Is your salon a wash-out?

Have you ever known a summer like this? Each morning you look out your curtains hoping for a ray of sunshine to blaze through the window, but each morning there's the same outcome - rain, rain, rain!Much as it's put a dampner on plans for heady summer evenings, fun in the sun and topping up tans; there are also really serious implications of the perpetual rainfall. I feel desperately sorry for anyone who's been turfed out of their homes, or had to dramatically change their lives because of flood damage; especially small businesses, including hair salons, that have taken a real battering. I just wonder how people go about getting back on track, and have nothing but admiration for the never-say-die attitude you see in the people hardest hit. If you're someone who's been affected by the torrential rain, I'd be really interested to hear how you've gone about getting on with your business. The other thing about this, quite frankly horrid, weather is just how miserable everyone becomes. I can only imagine how much you guys must be pining for a little sun so that your clients start arriving with smiles on their faces. Surely it would only take one day of unbroken sun - it wouldn't even have to be that hot! - and the country (and your salons) would be a happier place. Kate@HJi
