If you’re fortunate enough to have been able to get to a salon recently, you know the power of a good haircut or new style.
Plenty of people have even made some drastic moves after being cooped up for so long, hoping to release the emotional turmoil of the recent past.
If you’re thinking of a big change and looking for some inspiration (even if it’s just daydreaming), we found 50 women whose hair transformations really made our eyes pop.
Get ready to call your stylist after looking through these!
1. She Got The Job
This haircut says, “you got the job,” because it’s just that sophisticated and trustworthy. Her orange hair was a statement and it looked great, but her new one is even bolder in its own way.
2. Chloe’s Exciting Journey
This is Chloe and she went through a lot over a five-year period. She got braces, lost weight, and found a new confidence. Her new hair says it all and it looks like it was made for her. Can you say perfection?
3. Those Freckles Though
She looks beautiful either way, but those freckles are stealing the show. Her long hair made her look like a model, but her shorter hair makes her look like a supermodel. This change was a good one.
4. Do Not Succumb
It’s so easy to let your hair do what it does as you age. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Do what you always wanted to do when your hair starts to grey. Go full-on white or go bold with bright red.
5. After All This Time
Growing out your hair is no joke. It takes years! That’s why it’s so inspiring when women like these go for it. This lady cut her hair and got one of the best highlighting jobs that I’ve seen on dark hair.
6. Razor Cut Is Still In
Some say that the razor cut is dead but this is proof it can be done and done right. This textured razor-cut look works for her. It is a fascinating way to go and not everyone can pull it off, she’s a lucky one.
7. No More Straightening
When you have type 4 hair, it’s hard not to go straight to straightening when times get tough. When you’re feeling up to it though, you reset by getting a new short cut to embrace your curls. That’s what this amazing woman did.
8. Sweet To Sophisticated
She looked like a sheltered angel before and now she oozes sophistication and class. Her slight smirk and perfect brows help her case, but it’s that new cut that is inspiring everyone. The texture is phenomenal.
9. For The Kids
This young lady got her hair cut for Wigs for Kids. She donated it all and she’s never looked better, inside and out. Her long hair was unique but there’s something about her new feathery look that is beyond charming.
10. Don’t Call Her Bob
Now this is how you wear a bob. Her hair looks amazing, fresh, and chock full of personality. Although her long hair was pretty, sometimes, all you need is to chop it all off to reveal a new you.

11. Taking The Plunge
This girl looked like she’d never had a haircut before. The transformation is stunning. Her youthful locks were gorgeous on her but the new look suits her. Some agree, some disagree, but all that matters is that she’s loving it.
12. Another Successful Reset
This is what success looks like. She had to start all over with a really short cut but she is going to rock it every step of the day. Why wait for it to grow out when you can embrace each step with pride?
13. Brave And Free
There’s nothing like a new haircut to liberate you. This woman had the hair that most women crave. She looks amazing! Perfect hair, makeup, and smile. But whenever she got that cut she wanted, we all got a new cut to crave.
14. Perfectly Texturized
You can’t really say her long hair wasn’t fabulous because it was, but that new textured look is just amazing. How she got her hair that shiny is beyond me, but the world needs to know her secrets.
15. Need More Drama
There’s something special about cutting it all off and changing your color dramatically. When you do it as well as this woman did, you can impress anyone. Even if you like long locks, you can’t ignore how great she looks.
16. From Pretty To Gorgeous
Her long hair worked but her new bob is working overtime. She looks like a model and should be proud of the progress she’s made. If her eyes can’t kill then her new hair can. This is a great transformation.
17. Ten Years Younger
This momma is looking good! After getting an adorable pixie cut, she looks ten years younger, at least. But the best part is that she looks happier and more confident in her new hair. That’s what matters most!
18. Can’t Resist The Bangs
These may be the best bangs I’ve seen today. Although this transformation isn’t all that dramatic altogether, it just goes to show you what a difference bangs can make. Some look better with them and some without.
19. Somebody Glowed Up
This young lady aged in the best way with her new haircut. She looked so innocent before and now she looks like a ray of sunshine that knows how to enjoy life. This is how you deal with curly hair.
20. Naturally Curly Girl
This girl followed a special system that naturally curly girls follow in order to embrace their natural curls. It starts with a cut and ends with gorgeous curls. You use more natural products and avoid chemicals to get there.
21. She Found It
Whatever it is that she was looking for, she found it. This look is so her, you can tell without even knowing her. It must be the glint in her eye or her initial panic face in the first picture. What a fun woman!
22. Once You Go Plat
This woman looks like a doll with her perfect makeup and doll-like features. But her hairstyles are totally different. Her original hair made her look like a 1960s Barbie but her new one makes her look like the Barbie every girl wants in 2020.
23. Don’t Be Afraid
People can be so afraid of change, but once you take that leap, you’ll never want to look back. This brave woman cut off her locks and ended up with the best haircut of her life. That color is boss!
24. Goodbye, Frizz
This woman said goodbye to frizz when she got her new haircut. All it takes is a little tender loving care and any curly girl can get there. Whoever took care of her hair knows what they are doing.
25. The Rapunzel
Even Rapunzel cut her hair without hesitation. Her hair was magic and it still wasn’t what made her who she is, so she did it! What an inspiring story! We can all learn something from girls like this.
26. Work By Guy Tang
Guy Tang is a pop artist and hairstylist with his own hair color brand My Identity. This client from Finland ended up with just about the coolest color possible. Her roots had been dyed black and she was in need of a hair makeover.
27. Still Respectable
She may have looked respectable before, but now she looks fun and respectable. Now, you’d want to take her out for a night on the town and still ask her for advice. That’s the best of both worlds.
28. Makes Her Eyes Pop
Although her hair looked good before, this new fresh look does wonders for her. Those eyes are popping in the best way with that angelic glow. Not to mention, the rich color of her hair is comforting.
29. The Perfect Haircut
If you’re struggling with what haircut to get, consider one like this. It looks good on anyone and is versatile too. Get it long enough to put in a ponytail or keep it shorter. It’s all up to you.
30. Living On The Edge
This woman didn’t need to do her hair, she looked awesome in her curls. But whenever she stepped out of the salon in that edgy red hair, jaws dropped. She looks better than anyone thought possible.
31. She Donated It All
There’s nothing like a place like Locks Of Love to inspire you to cut your hair. This young woman donated over half of her hair and has never looked better. Seriously, her face lit up after her cut.
32. Is This The Same Woman?
Her heart may be one-in-the-same but she looks like a completely different person. Twenty years younger, bolder, and dare I say, more alluring. The color looks so good on her that it might as well be her natural color.
33. Adorable AND time-saving
We are so happy for this lovely lady, not only because her hair looks so great but because she just got at least 15 extra minutes in her days that she’d normally spend with a blow dryer in her hand.
34. Never Too Young
It looks like this young lady has never cut her hair before and this choice was a good one. She went for it and is as unique as can be. All of her friends will surely be inspired by her transformation, because I sure am.
35. Made For Pixie
This gorgeous girl was made for this cut. It helps that she kind of looks like Emma Watson, but it also helps that she can rock a leather jacket. Her makeup works, her intense eyes work, she’s just rocking the world.
36. Seventeen Again
In the left picture, this girl was just seventeen and looked like Homecoming Queen. Her hair was perfect, her braces showing off her beautiful smile, and eyes that lit up a room. Fast forward a few years later and she still looks seventeen, but her new look will give you chills! How can she always look so amazing?
37. That Pink Tint
This woman is probably a Russian model but if she’s not, she should be. She looked great before but this new pink bob is so unique that she has to be on the cover of a magazine asap. I can’t get enough of it.
38. Make A Bold Statement
Whether you’re doing at-home colorings or waiting too long in-between touch-up appointments, when you go for bold colors, it can fade out easily. It isn’t always pleasant either. It’s always so nice to go back to that bright look you long for.
39. Now That’s Refreshing
Her long hair looks great and so youthful, but every other girl has that look. That’s why she switched to the refreshing pixie cut to mix things up. It’s daring, yet looks good on almost anyone.
40. The Best Of Devacurl
In case you haven’t caught on yet, Devacurl is a method used by naturally curly girls to embrace their natural hair texture. You have to reset your hair and let it be natural, urging it on with natural products free of chemicals.
41. Eight Hour Transition
This color took eight hours to complete but it was all worth it. Whenever I start going grey, I am going to go all the way with it and make it a fashion statement. That’s what this woman did and it paid off.
42. Keeping It Simple
This woman wanted to keep it simple so she wouldn’t lose her identity. She got a blunt cut which looks oh, so chic! You can’t go wrong with a cut like that if your hair is as straight as hers.
43. It’s A Long Road
Although it may take years to get that perfect curl back in your hair, it is well worth it. This lady has the hair of a goddess and it’s okay if you stare. She is a model or at least should be one.
44. Coral Done Right
Not just anyone can pull off hair this short, especially in coral. But this young lady does it so well. She was cute before but there’s something about this new short, sleek look that is just so stunning.
45. How To Pull Off Bedhead
There’s a reason that the Bedhead beauty brand is so popular. We all kind of want that slightly messy look without it putting a damper on our style. This girl pulled it off both ways. Once with long hair, and again with short.
