The Hairdresser Who Didn’t Allow Customers to Use Mirrors
In a bustling town, there was a hairdresser named Amina, famous for styles that seemed to flow naturally from her hands. She never owned a mirror, not even a small one. Customers often asked, puzzled, “How do you know what it looks like?” She would smile mysteriously and say, “I see with my hands, not with my eyes.”
At first, people were skeptical. Some left worried their hair might be ruined. But one by one, they marveled. Amina could sense the curves of a head, the fall of strands, and the balance of a style as if she were sculpting clay. Each haircut seemed to know the person who wore it.
Her secret, she said, was listening—listening to the hair, the shoulders, even the heartbeat of her client. She felt the tension in the scalp, the dreams hidden in curls, and shaped the hair accordingly.
One day, a wealthy client mocked her, insisting she use a mirror. Amina only laughed. By the end of the appointment, the client’s reflection in a shop window stunned her—perfectly balanced, elegant, yet uniquely hers.
People came from far and wide, realizing that sometimes true beauty is felt, not seen, and that mastery often comes from trust, skill, and attention, not tools or mirrors.
Moral: Sometimes, trusting your instincts and paying attention with care can achieve more than relying only on what you see.
