Beauty is greeting a client
with a smile as they walk through the door, both of us mutually happy to see
each other.
Beauty is hearing the words, “I
am so glad to be here—do your magic!” and, “This is my favorite part!” many
times a day.
Beauty is being there to listen
when someone needs it the most (thankfully, this works both ways!)—sharing the
tragedies, as well as the triumphs that life brings upon us; and exchanging the
“great news” about the kids, grandkids, parents, nieces, and nephews, expressing
genuine joy for their achievements with each other.
Beauty is updating each other
on recent events: learning of ideal vacation destinations to add to our lists; reviewing
the new hot spots in town (to shop and eat!) along with which new movies are a must see; sharing the bliss of a new
kitchen remodel with—finally!—enough
storage space, which always includes exchanging tried and true recipes from our
family kitchens.
Beauty is knowing I have a vast
clientele where I can find the answer to a question—on every subject known to
man—when I need a helping hand.
Beauty is the thrill of
reinventing a “new look” for someone, and looking at a satisfied customer’s
reflection in the mirror, who then voices, “I love it!!!” completing my day
with personal pride in a job well done.
Beauty is the value of making
someone feel beautiful before they
walk out the door, smiling from the inside-out, beaming with confidence—and ready
to “saddle up” with reins in hand!—and bravely charge ahead into the wild wild
west!! (Okay… my nephew was recently cast
as the lead role in a western melodrama, so I couldn’t resist that last bit.)
Many thanks to my clients for the endless moments of beauty at its finest, as seen from “behind the
chair.”
