Tammy’s Extreme MAKEOVER!

 As a personal stylist, sometimes I see someone and I just can’t help but want to do a makeover on them! My neighbor Tammy was the perfect person for this: she’s constantly doing things for other people and taking care of others so she definitely deserved to have someone do something nice for her too.

I don’t want you to think Tammy isn’t stylish. I’ve seen the things Tammy buys and she has a great fashion sense, but sometimes we just don’t think we deserve the effort to make ourselves look nice. It happens to everyone, and when I ambushed Tammy for her surprise makeover, she was wearing comfortable clothes that were cute but maybe weren’t the best fit for her. Who can blame her when she works from home!

The first step in Tammy’s surprise makeover was a trip to my favorite hairstylist, Nicole. Nicole owns Pomme Salon in Kelowna and I’ve been going to her for about six years now, and she has a number of celebrity clients. I adore Nicole and she has a wonderful energy about her. She turned Tammy’s hair that looked ignored and unloved and gave it a fantastic balayage color and cut. Being 5’ 4”, the length of Tammy’s hair was starting to overwhelm her, and she mentioned not wanting to have to do a lot of preparation before leaving the house so Nicole gave her a sleek, contemporary cut. Tammy’s new hair ended up being kind of a long bob that looks great on her and should be low maintenance so she won’t have to worry about it too much.

Tammy’s next stop was the De Piere Clinic, also in Kelowna. Andrew De Pieri is who I go to as well, and he’s one of the best aestheticians around and I love that he also does hormone therapy. The staff at the De Piere Clinic are experts all the wonderful beauty treatments you may have seen online or on TV; I’ve been coming to them for probably 10 years so they’ve become like friends to me.Tammy was kind enough to open up to me about her struggles with her skin: she’s suffered from acne and has never felt good about her pores and oily skin, and never really tried to seek solutions to these. The team at the De Piere Clinic started her off with a microdermabrasion, and then a Hollywood peel followed by some filler to fix her furrow lines in her forehead.

Tammy’s last aesthetics stop was Boutique Esthetics in Kelowna. My friend Don, the owner, gave her a quick eyebrow dye and a permanent curl on her eyelashes that really brightened up her face and eyes. Her favorite part is that she never has to worry about curling her lashes!

When it comes to clothes, Tammy is not one to put a lot of color into her outfits. She’s also an apple body type, so keeping these in mind, I found her a v-neck was a little open at the top and combined that with a necklace. A pair of new light color jeans, perfect for spring, and her favorite pair of boots completed a fantastic casual look for her. Keeping at least one item in a makeover something you already own is a great way to make sure you still feel like yourself.

This video was SO much fun to do, and I hope it can give you all some inspiration for the next time you decide to give yourself or a friend a makeover.
