I love how confident she seems after the makeover - it's hard to believe it's the same person!

There are a lot of people who dream of growing their hair long. But for others – having long locks is simply a nightmare.

One example is 73-year-old Sandy from Boston, Massachusetts.

She had managed to grow her hair past her shoulders, but instead of proudly letting it flow – she absolutely hated it!

Like many others her age, Sandy wasn’t feeling too good about her appearance and was seeking a little extra “oomph” in the beauty department.

Fortunately, she was in the right place the moment she sat down in The Makeover Guy’s salon chair.

They say that “age is just a number” and “you’re only as old as you feel.”

Sandy too is a person that doesn’t believe her true age represents how she actually feels inside.

Despite being in her 70s, she felt like a youngster only in her 40s.

But as she typically does, old Mother Nature had been creeping up on Sandy as well.

The east coast resident was seeing the tiredness in the mirror and needed help bringing some of her youth back.

She admitted:

“Feeling a little tired as I get older, so I just need a little oomph.”

One frustrating aspect of aging is that hair tends to thin out and can be harder to grow.

Dermatologist and USC Clinical Instructor, Tsippora Shainhouse, explained to Women’s Health:

“As we age, hair decreases in density and the individual hair strands become thinner … The hairs produced become much finer, until, eventually, the follicle can even stop producing new hairs.”

For Sandy, her hair was surprisingly the longest it had ever been.

Some might think she was jumping for joy over the fact, yet – she wasn’t at all.

She despised it and wanted it gone!

It was Sandy’s turn to shine in the spotlight.

When her new look is revealed, be prepared to think that a completely different person is swapped in her place.

Not only does Sandy look younger with a bouncy haircut – but she’s also more vibrant, happy, and completely transformed both inside and out.

Sandy gushes about how “terrific” she feels.

In fact, she feels so good that she’s ready to go out on the town. She says:

“I might have to hit some guy up. Anyone wanna go dancing?”
