Little by Little One Walks Far.....

I visited my hairdresser today. I was a bit early for my appointment. While I was in the waiting room, it just crossed my mind that I have been visiting this place for nearly three years now. I vividly remember the very first time I visited this place. It was a Sunday afternoon and I suddenly out of no where decided to get a hair cut. I went around looking for any salon that was open and willing to offer me an appointment. That is how I landed in this salon. The Salon did not look great. I was not impressed with the look of the place at all but considering it was the only salon that was open on that Sunday afternoon and who readily offered to give me a haircut, I decide to go for it. The salon had been running only for three months then and did not look posh at all. But the owner and the hairdresser totally won me over. She was soft spoken, appeared very passionate about her work and very professional. She made me feel very welcome and I was more than satisfied with her work. Since then, I have been with this place and have not been disappointed once.

It is amazing to see how this place has grown so much over the years. Today it compares with few other big salons in my town and is flourishing. The salon now looks posh and  has four hairdressers. The entire team is very customer focused and willing to help. 

It is the lady's hard work, patience and perseverance that has got her to where she is today. She exhibits wonderful example of how Little by Little one walks far. As I was walking out after my appointment, I commended the lady for her success and she smiled humbly and pointed towards a poster by her billing desk that read - ''Only as high as I reach can I grow, only as far as I seek can I go, only as deep as I look can I see, only as much as I dream, can I be''
