A beauty salon was located downtown and attracted wealthy clients. It was afternoon and there were some clients. That's when a girl came inside. Her outfits and dirt on her body and unbrushed hair were announcing that she was a street dweller. So, why everyone was taken aback when she said, "Good afternoon." The staff and clients all were stunned by the girl's appearance.
She saw everyone to be shocked and silent. So, she went one step forward and said, "Excuse me, do you by any chance have a hairbrush to give me? I'd like to brush my hair and wash my face if that's possible. " And hearing her requests, the clients got angry. They asked the staff if having dirtbags like the girl hanging around was a normal thing in their salon. They also commented that they thought better of that place. Hearing these the staff became worried because it might lower their salon's rating.
She quickly apologized to the client and said it was just a misunderstanding. She then went to the girl to handle this. She told her that the place was not non-profit for the homeless. She told her to go away too. But the girl started to beg. She told the staff that she would just wash her face. The staff didn't hear her and putting her outside of the door, she locked it. Then she told the girl to get out of there and forbade her to come back, otherwise, she would call the police on her.
After they turned her away, the girl went outside and cried in frustration. Suddenly she heard a soft voice. It was the owner of the salon. She asked the girl why she was crying. She replied that she just asked them to let her brush her hair and wash her face. But they had shamed her and kicked her out. The owner exclaimed that it was awful and she literally didn't expect such a nasty attitude in her salon.
She consoled the girl and told her not to cry. Then she took the girl in with her. She had a kind heart and decided to personally help the young woman. She offered her a fresh towel and asked her to wash her face. When the girl cleaned herself, she also offered her a dress. She told the girl that the story was different then. She also said that she had found her spare clothes. She asked her to take them and change so she could be more comfortable.
And after she had changed, the owner washed the girl's hair by herself. The owner was amazed and incredibly inspired by what she saw. The girl was a real beauty. Then she was interested to know what happened to her. She replied that she had come to the town on business from another town. And then someone stole her phone and purse at the station. The owner exclaimed that it was horrible. The girl continued that she had no one to call and ask for help. She had been sleeping on the street for a few days and she could not go back home.
After the hair was done, the girl thanked the owner. She also added that she was the kindest person she had ever met. The owner forbade her not to be in such a rush to thank her. She added that she hadn't really helped her yet. Then she took the girl in her car and started driving. The girl asked her where they were going. She replied that they were going to the station to buy a return ticket for her. The girl was speechless when she really bought her a ticket and said that the train arrived soon, so she should hurry. The girl's eyes was being full of tears and she said to the owner that she was incredible. The owner's kind act made the girl happy and inspired her.
Having seen the girl off, the salon owner rushed back to work. Days passed after this and one morning she was working. Then a delivery boy came and told her that she had something to receive. The owner became a bit surprised because she had not ordered anything.
The box contained an expensive designer dress of her size and a note. The woman burst into tears when she read it. It was from that girl she helped. She wrote:
This dress is not as valuable as your tracksuit. Along with your kind act, it restored my faith in humanity. Please, accept this small present. I will always be grateful to you.
