When it comes to makeovers there is no better person to watch than The Makeover Guy! His videos are heartwarming, inspirational, and always end with stunning results! While most of the transformations are compressed into short, power-packed clips, we were given a treat when Christopher released his client Lisa’s “extended version.”
A woman from South Dakota
55-year-old Lisa had come in from South Dakota desperately seeking a makeover. Like others we’ve seen before, she wasn’t feeling confident about her looks and didn’t like her flat, thin hair. During her interview, Lisa revealed:
“I feel old and fat. I’ve gained about 35 pounds in the last four years and my hair’s the same as it’s been for a long time, and I just don’t feel good about myself.”
The makeover process
In the video below, we are given the opportunity to see more footage than usual – and even learn some background information on the makeover process.
When Lisa sat down in the chair for her “before-interview” it was around 10:30 am. Although we’re used to seeing the transformations whiz by in a mere minute, in reality, hers was expected to take approximately six hours.
Lisa’s the mother of two sons in the Air Force and has been married for 30 years. She’s a grandmother too, however, the baby girl lives over in England so she doesn’t get to spend much time with her.
As people age, a lot of times how one feels on the inside doesn’t match up with the reflection in the mirror. Lisa may have been in her mid-fifties, but she actually felt only 25-years-old.
There’s no doubt that Lisa wasn’t happy with her appearance and wanted to look younger. To lighten the mood, Christopher decided to shake things up and scare her with an unexpected scream! It seemed to work because it finally got Lisa laughing.
She’s up for any change!
Some people walk into The Makeover Guy’s salon with “rules” for Christopher on what they don’t want to see. On the other hand, there are those like Lisa who was open to anything!
He explained:
“It can take several hours to decide on what direction I will go…”
Finally, they whisked Lisa away for a transformation that she’ll never forget. Christopher’s famously been changing lives with his talents for decades now – and is also a best-selling author, entrepreneur, and singer as well. Needless to say, she was in good hands.
A brand new Lisa
Not only does she look more youthful and like a glamorous (blonde) goddess, but she also seems like a different person in regards to her lifted-confidence.
She tells the camera:
“I feel refreshed and I felt like I was old and sad. I just needed a lift up and this was it, this day was it, this was a wonderful day. I feel 10 years younger at least…”
In the beginning, Lisa’s hair was thin and pin-straight. But when Christopher’s done with it, it’s surprisingly full and wavy! He shared:
“I showed her what it looks like straight. I then rewet it and showed her how to scrunch in her wave. Then demonstrated how she could use a curling iron to neaten the hair if it’s too “wild.”
Her husband couldn’t believe his eyes!
When Lisa’s husband walked in he was in complete shock! Unfortunately, he’s a little camera shy, but it adds to the fun of seeing what really takes place behind the scenes. He jokingly asks his wife, “Is that a wig?”
At the end of the makeover Lisa was all smiles. She couldn’t believe how beautiful she looked with absolutely no product in her hair whatsoever. Watch the full makeover in the video below.
