A woman came into my salon crying.
Her son’s wedding was in a few hours, and she only had $12.
“I don’t want to embarrass him,” she whispered.
I told her to sit down.
I did her hair, her makeup — everything. When she tried to pay, I smiled and said,
“This one’s on me.”
She hugged me and left with tears in her eyes.
The next morning, I walked into the salon and froze — a bouquet waited on the counter with a note:
“You gave my mom more than a makeover.
You gave her confidence.”
Inside the envelope was a spa gift card and a letter from the family, thanking me for helping her feel seen.
That day, I learned something simple but powerful:
Kindness always circles back — sometimes in flowers, sometimes in gratitude, but always in love. 🌷
