A Hairdresser With a Big Heart Saw a Teenage Girl in Need and Spent 13 Hours Making Her Feel Special

“I will actually smile for my school pictures today; you made me feel like me again.”

The teen asked Kayley to "just cut it off," but Kayley wanted to help her keep her hair if she could. What followed was a long, emotional transformation that took hours of patience and a whole lot of heart.
