Happy Sunday! It was an interesting week at the salon. There was a lot going on. It was a busy one for sure. And for that we are truly blessed!

One story that stuck out was an act of service. This one tugged on my heartstrings. It was a special day and this particular client came in to have her long hair donated. This was in honor and remembrance of some one very special who had lost his battle with cancer. This special day was his earthly birthday. This was her inspiration to have eleven inches cut off.  So, we placed it in a ponytail and we lobbed it off!  Created a new haircut and added a bit of color. She is beautiful and so is her act of service.

It is in these moments that I realize that there is way more to the story.  She could have gone anywhere and had this done, but she chose J. Andrews Salon. In fact, she has chosen me as her stylist for several years now.  For many of us at the salon, it is about building relationships with our customers. Walking with them through the good and the bad. Smiling with them when things are right in their world and crying with them in their brokenness. This is so completely humbling and so rewarding all at the same time. It is in these moments that I am reminded that we serve a purpose greater than ourselves.  It is always such a gift and an honor to share in these precious moments. It is our inspiration and one of many reasons why we love what we do.

I would love to hear from you.  Leave your comments and questions.
