A woman walked into my beauty salon in tears on the day of her son\u2019s wedding. She had only twelve dollars and feared she\u2019d embarrass him because of how she looked. She\u2019d spent nearly everything she had helping with the wedding and had almost decided to stay home.<\/p>\n

I invited her to sit down and styled her hair and makeup. As we talked, I reminded her that her son wanted her there. When she saw herself in the mirror, she smiled for the first time. She offered me the twelve dollars, but I handed it back. \u201cToday is on me.\u201d<\/p>\n

The next morning, flowers and a card were waiting at my salon. Her son wrote that he\u2019d never seen his mother look so radiant and confident. His family had also left a thank-you gift. I kept the card as a reminder of what that wedding day makeover had meant to her: she walked in afraid she didn\u2019t belong and left ready to stand beside her son.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
