When a viewer named Kayla told us about her mom, Cathy, we knew we had to hook her up with a major pampering session and update her look.
After all, Cathy’s ‘do hadn’t changed since the 1980s (think super long hair and *very* poofy bangs), and most of her clothing consisted of old sweatpants and pajamas. The last time she went to the salon? Maybe 25 years ago, she says.

But that's only because Cathy cares so much for everyone else in her life!
With three kids and one grandchild, Cathy doesn’t like to spend time or money on herself, and she admits, “I’m afraid of change.”
But, even though she was nervous about a makeover, her son’s getting married this fall, so she's willing to take the plunge.
“I’d like to look nice for his wedding,” Cathy tells us.

So, we enlisted the help of celeb hairstylist Kyan Douglas, along with stylists and colorists from Sharon Dorram Color at Sally Hershberger Salon, and the results were...unbelievable!
Kayla was understandably moved to tears when she saw her mom’s new look. And when Kathy saw herself, she was SPEECHLESS!
Watch the big reveal in the video above!
Kyan and his team gave Cathy what they call “a curtain fringe” instead of her original bangs, chopped her locks up to the collarbone and corrected the tone of her blond hair. The haircut, along with a va-va-voom red dress made for one of our most incredible makeovers yet.
She’ll be the ultimate hot mama of the groom!
