Imagine a life where hairdressers didn’t exist. We’d have two choices: either pick up the skill ourselves and attempt to get snipping and shaving, or accept our long-haired fates and deal with the daily struggle of floor-length locks.

Admittedly, none of these make great futures. Luckily, hairdressers aren’t going extinct any time soon – and some of them take their talent to a whole new level. A skilled hairdresser is so creative, they can come up with an action plan to completely transform the way you look.

A perfect example of a hairdresser who really knows his stuff is Christopher Hopkins.

Known by friends and clients as “The Makeover Guy”, Hopkins works at his salon and spa in Minneapolis, Minnesota to bring joy to the lives of those who need a fresh start. Armed with his trusty scissors, makeup and a little elbow grease, he’s got everything it takes to help his clients perform a full 180 and change themselves for the better.

There’s scientific evidence to support the idea that the way you look on the outside can have an impact on the way you feel on the inside. This is why it’s so important to give yourself a makeover when you feel the time is right – and this is exactly what Hopkins specializes in!

Specifically, Hopkins aims to help middle-aged women, and women beyond that age, to undergo a transformation in the looks department. He’s so confident in his stuff that he published a best-selling book, “Staging Your Comeback, A Complete Beauty Revival for Women Over 45”.

Long hair is something that many women have yearned for at some time or another. But how long is too long? At what point do you decide to undergo the chop? If you’re not sure, you can bet that Hopkins and his team know exactly when the time is right.

For one woman, that time was now. In Hopkins’ video, you can see how the simple act of cutting her hair and applying makeup to her face doesn’t just give her a whole new look – it takes off 10 years of her life.

Hopkins decides to take half the length off the woman’s Rapunzel hair – a literal weight off her shoulders! We’d imagine it took real guts for her to lose so much hair when it takes so long to grow, but she’s clearly determined to go through with it. She’s had long blonde braids for so long, she speculates whether her family will even recognize her.

When the time comes for Hopkins to get started with his scissor action, it’s a big moment – but her reaction when he’s finished proves that he’s done the right thing.

With her makeover complete, the woman doesn’t even look recognizable anymore. She’s been transformed – so much so that she inspired commenters on the video to do the same.

“She is so beautiful!” one person wrote. “And hiding behind her hair! I have crazy long hair nowadays cause of a bad year where my appearance took a less important role.. But im scared tp change it since its my security blanket.. But i know i gotta join the world of the living and have fun with my look like i used to before! This gives me more courage!”

If you think you’re due a transformation yourself, this video below will give you all the inspiration you need to go through with it!
