―Amy Leigh Mercree
I rarely get
my hair cut -- maybe twice a year. But
in anticipation of important business meetings next week, I decided to schedule
a trim.
As I was
leaving the house to run several errands before my hair appointment, I received
a call from a close relative saying that she was ill. I ended up
taking this relative to a nearby Urgent Care Center. Thankfully, it was nothing serious, but I was
late for my appointment. I called the
salon to let my hair stylist know.
When I
arrived at the salon, I apologized to my stylist and told him that he could
just cut my hair and not dry it. He
would not hear of it. (I felt badly as I
overhead him and the scheduler push back an appointment.) As I apologized again, he told me not to
worry and thanked me for calling ahead so that they could move his next
appointment a little. A very nice guy,
he was beyond gracious with me. At no
moment did he seem rushed and he took his time drying my hair.
I was so
grateful for the stylist's kindness.
Although my relative did not have anything serious, it is always
stressful to be worried about a loved one's health. And a Saturday afternoon at a salon is not
the time to be late.
