Dec 11, 2020 by apost team

Sometimes, relationships with our hair can be complicated. One day we love it and want to keep it forever, and the next day we want to chop it all off or dye it a crazy color. Sometimes we want to grow it until it reaches the floor, and sometimes we want to rock a short pixie cut.

For Karen Burner from Andover, Minnesota, it was time for her to cut her long locks, but what she didn't know is how her husband and daughter would react to it. Having grown her hair out since the first grade, after a tumultuous pixie cut that her mom had made her get, Karen, who is now 63 years old, decided it was finally time for a big change.

Many adults have grown their hair out from childhood, and once they get older, they are afraid to cut it because they have never seen themselves without the long strands. But having long hair has its cons, too.

It can be heavy enough to be uncomfortable, be a pain to manage and maintain, and can even weigh so much that it puts excess strain on your neck and shoulder areas. That’s why Karen Burner from Andover, Minnesota decided that it was time to make the chop for good!

And who better to call for the job than the Makeover Guy? The Makeover Guy, whose name is Christopher Hopkins, specializes in beauty makeovers. His page posted this video of Karen and her wowing makeover. Karen had been growing her hair out since the first grade.

Her mother gave her a pixie cut which Karen hated, so she vowed never to cut it again until she met the Makeover Guy.

“It’s time,” Karen says. “It’s long hair all over the house that I don’t need. It’s gotta go. It’s too heavy!” 

Now that she’s 63, she decided that she is long overdue for a change of pace. Karen’s hair texture was wavy and rippled, indicating that she might have a beautiful natural curl if the hair wasn’t so weighed down by length. “I was pretty nervous driving out here,” Karen admitted before the makeover. “But much more comfortable now.” 

Thankfully, the Makeover Guy was here to help! He has become famous for his incredible transformations with clients, and Karen’s transformation was no exception!

Instead of being weighed down by her perpetual locks, Makeover Guy decided to transform Karen’s hair into a beautiful shoulder-length unique bob that had plenty of movement and flow. As an added bonus, she also got some fringe that helped frame her face.

The Makeover guy also gave Karen a fresh face of makeup that made her eyes and smile pop. And when Karen finally got to see her transformation, she was floored by the results! In the video, when she said she feels, “Oh fabulous, sexy, over-the-top gorgeous, a movie star, ready to hit the road running." Karen feels especially excited that the curls she has on now are her natural ones. 

But no one’s reaction was better than that of Karen’s husband and daughter.

When they walked into the room and got to see her for the first time, they were in awe of her beauty. Karen's daughter said to her, "You look awesome! I don't feel like I'm looking at my mom, you look great." Then, her daughter covered her face and started to tear up. While her daughter gives Karen a hug, you can hear Karen’s husband in disbelief of how gorgeous his wife looked. “Wow, my God,” he is heard saying in the background.

Her husband exclaimed, "Fantastic! Karen, that's you?!" It seems like Christopher Hopkins, the Makeover Guy, has done it again with his brilliant skill and eye for transformations.

Karen’s transformation video is one of the most watched ones on Christopher’s channel. The video currently has nearly 1.7 million views and with that, a string of comments by viewers who were just as happy and surprised with her new look as Karen and her family were.

“Ok this one is insane,” read one of the top comments. “Like, how did he do that?! That’s beyond incredible. I wouldn’t recognize her as being the same person. From farm girl look to walking the Oscars’ red carpet. Guy’s a genius.”

Speaking of the Oscars, one viewer made a connection between Karen’s transformation to a celebrity. “She reminds me of Elizabeth Taylor! Simply beautiful,” one Trisha Yamada wrote.

In an uncommon occurrence, one commenter even got a reply from Christopher himself! The person, one Kristine Hebel, wrote: "This has got to be in the top 5 best makeovers!!!!" “I surprised myself actually,” Christopher wrote back. “But she was all "go" and so we did.”

Who is Christopher Hopkins?

On his LinkedIn profile, Christopher describes himself as an “entrepreneur, entertainer, cyber-star, author, and appearance aficionado.” According to his Wikipedia page, Christopher’s salon was originally located in the Hubbard Broadcasting building in St. Paul, Minnesota. Four years later in 1994, he relocated it to his hometown in Minneapolis and renamed his salon from ‘Christopher Hopkins Salon’ to ‘Christopher Hopkins Image Center’, CHIC, for short. Christopher has helped boost the confidence of countless clients over the years with his expertise. His client sample is no stranger to notables. His author biography on audible.com notes that he was worked with famous people like Hillary Clinton, Al Gore, Lauren Holly, Robert Wagner, and Stephanie Powers.

It would seem like the beauty industry is truly Christopher’s calling. Christopher’s mother, Joann Hopkins, who is sometimes seen in his videos serving as a fashion adviser to the clients, says that her son showed interest in playing dress-up and was aware of his appearance from a very young age. “At 18 months he talks quite a bit, most everything he tries to say is quite clear. He likes to play with shoes. Loves animals. A big tease. Likes to play with girls, dress-up, and dolls. Loves to play records, music of all kinds. Likes his hair cut and combed just so,” Joann says on Christopher’s about page on his website.
