Hope and Hugs At The Right Time
Saturday, I did a new client. I have done her daughter’s hair, and the daughter referred her to me. It seems that the client’s mother has been in the hospital 8 or 9 times in the last two years. She is tired and is refusing to eat. She is ready to go home.
This lady was emotionally and physically worn out. With a thorough scalp-massaging shampoo and a slightly more perky hair style, I helped to lift her spirits. Through conversation and discussion including one of my other wonderful clients, she was able to shed some tears and voice how she felt about her Mother’s impending death. I think that she left refreshed and better prepared to handle the situation.
Normally, I am booked at least 2 weeks ahead, and I almost never have an opening for a last minute client on a Saturday, but God knew. He knew what this lady needed, and he made sure that the right client was there with me to help her. She left with hugs and hope. This is what doing hair is really all about.
