As long as her 29-year-old daughter Lesley has been alive, Linda has not cut her hair—and she needs an update! Colorist Rita Hazan brings Linda's look into the 21st century with a gorgeous, rich color and wavy, face-framing curls.
"I just had five children and I now have six grandchildren, and it was just easier for me to just have the long hair," Linda says. "But now it's free!"
Lesley's mom,
Linda, underwent a hairstyle update at the hands of our stylists. Not to be left out, Lesley gets in on the fun, too! Our stylists completely overhaul Lesley's shoulder-length brown 'do. Now her short, sunny blonde locks and side-swept bangs make her gorgeous eyes sparkle
With her hair pulled straight back in a humdrum ponytail, Joan says she's ready for a sexier look. "I knew I needed to give the ponytail and the bun a rest," she says.
Ken Paves says oh-so-tight styles like Joan's can actually make a woman look much older than she really is. "In the '20s and '30s … they used to take women's hairlines and tweeze them back because that would age them and make an 18-year-old actress look 20, 30, 40 years older on the big screen," Ken says. "So by doing that, it exposes the face and leaves everything open, when that softness really camouflages and changes some of the lines of the face."
Stylist Kimberly Kimble gives Joan a softer, more youthful look by lightening her haircolor and framing her face with long layers. "I feel glamorous," Joan says.
Ever since she was a little girl, Mary Ann says she has had the same long, straight cut with blunt bangs.
Thanks to stylist Ted Gibson, now Mary Ann has a sophisticated, grown-up hairstyle! Her new 'do features a shoulder-length, layered cut and a beautiful auburn color with blonde highlights. "As we get older, we lighten our hair because what it does is we keep ourselves really fresh and young and vibrant," Ted says. "When she went home last night and saw her husband, her husband was completely surprised and he loved it."
"We changed the entire sexual dynamic," Oprah jokes. "A new baby boom started with hair!"
Ever since high school, Amy has had long, straight hair—until stylist Ted Gibson chops off 10 inches! Her short, sassy new 'do is highlighted with a touch of blonde around her face, accentuating the healthy glow of her skin.
Ted says even young women like Amy can get into a hairstyle rut. "She's had the same kind of hair since she was a young girl, and I think this makes her look very modern," he says.
Yolanda says she feels like a frump, but by the end of her makeover at the hands of hairstyle guru Ken Paves, she looks like a movie star! "When I met Yolanda, she couldn't decide whether she wanted to look like Jennifer [Lopez] or with Eva [Longoria]'s new haircut, so we gave her a combination," Ken says.
For her Eva look, Ken gives Yolanda a gorgeous, short style with waves and curls worthy of a Hollywood starlet. To invoke J. Lo's gorgeous, long locks, Yolanda simply must clip on some perfectly matching, removable extensions. "Both look just as good," Ken says. "When we say the word makeover, guys, nobody needs to be made over. Beauty can't be bought or applied. It's something different. … It just feels new to give you a reason to look in the mirror and feel good about yourself, and that's just what this is. Each look looks just as beautiful, so we gave her both."
"I love it!" Yolanda says. "It's beautiful, saucy, sexy. It's what I wanted, so I was in great hands."
When Andrea arrived at the salon, she was facing a hair breakage problem—stylist Kimberly Kimble to the rescue! "We couldn't put any relaxer in there, so we darkened her color and then we added full-head extensions on the top and cut them so that she could have a style to give her hair a chance to grow back," Kimberly says.
Andrea's beautifully shaped new locks complement her face and accentuate her high cheekbones. "I love myself," she says.
