"They were like, 'You don't owe anything today,' and I'm like, 'What?'" said client Mary Scott.

"They're like what happened? Like, super surprised, super overjoyed, super happy, feeling good," said salon owner Antonia Marie Turner. "Like, it's good to feel appreciated or to have something nice happen out of the blue."

You can stream the first two episodes of "The Hair Tales" now on Hulu.
