PSA: My old shop mentor said to book a full week off every 3 months and I skipped it for 2 years
She ran a salon in Columbus and swore the quarterly break was the only reason she lasted 15 years without burning out, but I figured as a one person shop I could not afford to close for a week. Last March I hit a wall where I was snapping at dogs and dreading the phone, and after finally taking her advice I came back with more energy than I'd had in months. Anyone here actually block off time like that, or do you just grab a random day when you feel it building up?
