The salon fell into silence. You could hear the hum of the hair dryers in the back and the awkward cough of another client flipping through a magazine. The woman stood in front of the mirror, her eyes glossy, lower lip trembling. Her hair\u2014now a soft copper tone with wispy layers\u2014actually looked great.
