Stephanie from Seattle may be 59-years-old, but she certainly doesn’t feel like it. In fact, she only feels about 45 on the inside (which is all that matters, right?).
What the mom needed before her milestone birthday was a little help on the outside to match her inner youth. So, when the opportunity presented itself that she’d be in Minneapolis where The Makeover Guy’s salon is – Stephanie decided to treat herself to an appointment.
It’s a transformation that brought her to tears.
Getting older is a part of life that’s not easy for everyone. However, some of us choose to think about it a little differently reminding ourselves that “age is only a number” and “you’re only as old as you feel.”
That doesn’t mean though that we can’t embrace a good old-fashioned makeover!
Stephanie’s been a fan of Christopher Hopkins since reading his book several years ago. For more than a decade his best-seller, Staging Your Comeback: A Complete Beauty Revival for Women Over 45, has been helping women gain confidence by providing tips and tricks.
According to Christopher, Stephanie just wanted to “feel pretty again.” She was definitely in the right place.
The Makeover Guy started being recognized in 1990 for his stunning (and televised) beauty transformations – and continues to be applauded today. He shares videos on YouTube that make your jaw drop all while lifting the soul.
Christopher’s talents don’t stop there. On top of being an author, he’s also a musician that according to his channel, “received standing ovations with the world’s finest orchestras singing Broadway best baritone showstoppers.”
It was finally Stephanie’s turn to shine. Fortunately for Christopher, she was open for anything he thought would look the best.
Mom Stephanie was close to turning the big “6-0.” Yet, she walked into the salon looking pretty good for her age already. It was anybody’s guess what Christopher had up his sleeve…
In the end, Stephanie’s reveal is so striking that her eyes well up with tears. Not only does she look younger, she felt pretty again!
“I’m very happy… It just fulfilled all my expectations, and I’m going to cry and mess up my make-up, but everything that I wanted happened.”
She continued:
“I just feel like a prettier version of who I am and I really appreciate everybody.”
One very important thing Stephanie had to do after the makeover was Facetime her daughter. She’d received many texts from her during the day because naturally, she was curious to see the new look too!
During the call, Stephanie’s daughter was blown away by her mom’s gorgeous transformation. Her hair and makeup really brightened her up all the way around – it’s like looking at a different person.
Christopher’s followers also loved the younger and fresh looking Stephanie. One woman shared:
“Wow! You look 20 years younger. Gorgeous! Go out and have some fun! Christopher is absolutely an artist with a great personality.”
Another commenter pointed out:
“It’s more than words can express when we can say, “I feel pretty!” She does indeed look pretty! The change is as much internal as it is external!”
Some even thought the mom now resembled a famous celebrity.
“She was pretty in the beginning, but her makeover amped up! She looks stunning, and to me a little like Sheryl Crow. Really great makeover.”
