A Beautiful Long Hair Makeover
Here’s how Christopher Hopkins describes Laura’s makeover: “Laura is 64, retired, and came in with long thick hair and wanted something new. She was afraid of losing much length, but open to what I thought. Often people assume I’ve said that a woman should cut her hair after “a certain age.” I’ve never said that. I have said often long hair can be less flattering as a face ages as it can draw the eye down and away from her eyes. In this case, not only did she have healthy thick and youthful looking long hair, she had a youthful face, knows how to wear makeup, and knows how to style her hair. It was, however, a bit heavy so creative layering helped lift the focus from neck to eyes and the movement reflected light up and out rather than down and under. We travel down and under all by ourselves so anything that lift up and out does help!”
Meet Christopher Hopkins – The Makeover Guy. “The makeover: It absolutely inspires me. Improvement and response. Thrilling. At three years old I was obsessed with the hair of my “Tootie” doll. This miniature doll, packaged in a plastic cameo, had a tiny body and very long hair. It was perfect for little hands to hold and style. I spent hours on that thing, bobby pins everywhere. Later I graduated to my sister’s Barbie dolls. You could do more with clothing for them because they had full figures for which you could create tissue paper and Scotch tape fashions, complete with stickpin earrings.”
Today Christopher is owner of reVamp! salonspa, in Minneapolis. He done makeovers on the “Oprah Winfrey Show” among other media outlets. His first book, “Staging Your Comeback, A Complete Beauty Revival for Women Over 45,” has helped improve the looks and the lives of thousands of women.
