Christopher Hopkins has performed numerous makeovers that have left us completely amazed. But one thatโ€™s considered very unforgettable is when Susan from Wisconsin walked through his doors.

She traveled with her sister to The Makeover Guyโ€™s salon in Minneapolis seeking a fabulous new look. And oh boy, did Susan ever get one.

It can be easy to get into a rut with your hair if life gets busy. For Susan, she had been wearing the same curly gray hairstyle for quite some time. In her words, it had been for โ€œtoo long.โ€

Fortunately, The Makeover Guy and his team of magicians were there to kick her look up a notch!

Before they began, Christopher asked Susan what she was hoping to see after her transformation.

She responded:

โ€œI want fun and fresh, and a little rollick some maybe โ€“ because I like to garden a lot and run around in flowy linens.โ€

However, just like with most of us, life isnโ€™t ALL about fun and games. Susan explained how she also worked a consulting job that required her to have a buttoned-up professional look.

For what she didnโ€™t want, she said:

โ€œI would not like to see it looking exactly the same as it does right now.โ€

No worries Susan, The Makeover Guy had some ideas. It all started with the change of her hair color. Instead of โ€œsalt and pepper,โ€ Christopher concluded a โ€œstrawberry-ishโ€ would look great.

Even before her transformation is complete, thereโ€™s a huge improvement with the switch to red. The celebrity stylist points out that โ€œWe look right at you, we donโ€™t look at your hair.โ€

Christopher has many fans of his makeover videos, which he posts on YouTube. Yet, we donโ€™t always get a behind-the-scenes look at how itโ€™s all done.

For Susanโ€™s though, we get to actually see her get glammed up (a little) in the makeup department! After putting on fake eyelashes, the beautician shares an interesting tip.

โ€œWhen you have false eyelashes on you can kind of tell that thereโ€™s a line. So if you take dark shadow and put the dark shadow right along โ€“ itโ€™ll make it look smoky but also make it look like itโ€™s natural.โ€

After everything was said and done โ€“ Susan looked absolutely gorgeous. Between the hair and makeup, she appeared younger, fresher, and could even be mistaken for a movie star.

People shared their comments online about which Hollywood starlet they think Susan looks like after the reveal. Raquel Welch seemed to be the most popular choice!

โ€œWhat a blast is Susan? Perfect person for a makeover. Just up for it. I didnโ€™t like the gray on her. She was fine with โ€œwhatever.โ€ So whatever is what we gave her and you cannot deny she looks radiant. Amy gave her a lovely Red. Kami showed how to do false eyelashes. I reshaped the curls to lift rather than widen the face.โ€

Susan felt โ€œwonderfulโ€ with her new unrecognizable look. She said that their experience was even โ€œbetter times 100โ€ than they ever imagined.

Itโ€™s a Makeover Guy reveal you donโ€™t want to miss. Press play below to meet the fabulous new Susan!
