She worried she might embarrass him with her appearance. I reassured her, sat her down, and promised she would leave feeling beautiful.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"342\" data-end=\"582\">I styled her hair and applied her makeup with care until she looked radiant. When she tried to pay, I gently refused. \u201cThis one\u2019s on me,\u201d I told her. She hugged me, crying with gratitude, and walked out smiling, ready for the special day.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"584\" data-end=\"906\">The next morning, I was surprised to find a bouquet of flowers waiting at the salon.

What felt like a simple favor to me became a cherished memory for them. Kindness is never wasted\u2014it has a way of returning when we least expect it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A woman came into my salon just hours before her son\u2019s wedding, her eyes swollen with tears and only $12 in her hand.
