Rachael after

"I have one word for you all -- EYEBROWS, EYEBROWS, EYEBROWS! -- what a difference a little snip and shape makes, not to mention color," exclaims Rachael. She is equally enthusiastic about the hair color and cut and has since been urged by her friends to get a diffuser and curling iron so that she can continue to accentuate her natural curls.

Wow! What a nice picture! She has that Mixed Chicks look, too.

She looks so fabulous. I love that they kept her hair curly. I hate when makeovers just straighten curly hair instead of helping to define it.

those brows really made her look!

In the before photo she looks like the mother of a pre schooler. And in the after photo she looks like she is a single woman with an exciting career

My hair looks exactly like this. I've wondered why my hair is flat on top, thanks for the layering tip!

Her eyebrows made such a huge difference!

Great makeover! I'm glad they emphasized her curls instead of trying to flatten or hide them.

The hair style really makes her look younger

by doana_marcellus Tuesday, February 22, 2011 at 01:11PM Report as inappropriate

amazing!!! I would love to have someone show me the best hairstyle and makeup tips. So much of what is put out there isn't easily usable by a working woman.

by rbake69 Tuesday, February 22, 2011 at 11:37AM Report as inappropriate

beautiful :)

by FIRSTand15 Monday, February 21, 2011 at 01:25PM Report as inappropriate

Beautiful. Her curls are gorgeous and the eyebrow / makeup work makes her look so much younger.

by KurleeTop Sunday, February 20, 2011 at 04:38PM Report as inappropriate

OMG! That is an amazing transformation! She looks so happy in the after photo.

by aly7 Saturday, February 19, 2011 at 02:37PM Report as inappropriate

I think she looks much better and softer in the after photo. Good tip about lightening eyebrows, too.

by Nanette1970 Saturday, February 19, 2011 at 11:17AM Report as inappropriate

she looks beautiful! Love the hair. I like how they said to not cover up that you have curly hair by flat ironing it, but to defind them :) go curly hair!

by alliecobos Saturday, February 19, 2011 at 09:56AM Report as inappropriate

Wow, I want a makeover ;p what a wonderful result
