Thank you Karen. I have made my list of supplies and will be giving notice tomorrow . She has decided to down grade the salon to about 500 sq ft. 2 hair stations and dryer chairs , mani table stuffed somewhere in waiting room and oh there won't be room for 2 nail tables so we will have to share or work something eles out. Also using the pedi room for a dispensary. So I am not sure how she will handle my notice , I am not sure if she will just kick me out or let me stay while my station at the other salon is gutted and re done over the next few weeks.
I thank you all again for your input. I knew what I had to do just needed some reassurance from all you wonderful nail tech groupies.
