Kristine’s Mommy Makeover Recap and Giveaway!! {Closed}

Kristine Makeover Before and After

Meet Kristine, the lovely winner of our Mommy Makeover contest!! This lucky mama won a whole new look: amazing cut and color by Katie Donahue, stylist at Michael Tschantz Salon, and make-up by the fabulous Arica Ohloff, Independent Mary Kay Consultant! To top it off, she and her husband were able to celebrate her new look with dinner (CHILD-FREE) at Kyodai Japanese Grill, AND had a chance to see the amazingly funny Spamalot, courtesy of City Circle Acting Company! Kristine had just cut off her hair and donated it to Locks of Love right before winning this makeover, and we were so happy to be able to provide some pampering for this deserving mom!

HAIR

By Katie Donahue, Michael Tschantz Salon.

It was my great pleasure to have given Kristine a “Mommy Makeover”.  What a sweet girl!

In our consultation, we discussed the options and the limitations of our makeover.  Kristine had recently chopped off her hair for ‘Locks of Love’, leaving behind a very blunt, shapeless haircut.  As a result of just having lost several inches of hair, losing more was not in the cards.  We discussed adding layers (to which there was none) and framing her face a bit with more layers to give her some shape and movement.  The end result had to fit into somewhat of a pony-tail option.  We achieved that go-to, pull-it-up hair while giving her a youthful new ‘do!

As for the color, Kristine was on board with pretty much anything, however she made it clear that maintenance was not something she was interested in.  We did a three-color foil.  A rich low-light for depth, a warm copper for some brightness and intensity and a few light pieces to brighten her up.  It turned out beautifully, yet subtle!  It added an incredible amount of shine and really warmed up her skin tone and eyes.

She was an incredibly deserving candidate of your amazing makeover opportunity!

DINNER AND A DATE

Kristine and her husband had a chance to enjoy dinner out at Kyodai Japanese Grill and to see Spamalot, put on by City Circle Acting Company. What a great way to get out and enjoy one another, as well as Kristine’s new look!! A big thanks to all of our sponsors for helping us pamper this special mama and for giving her a chance to feel extra beautiful!!

Now, the moment you’ve all been waiting for…YOUR chance to win a makeover, just in time for the holidays!!

  1. I would love a makeover! I’m in a rut and would love some ideas for wardrobe, not to mention red highlights in my hair. That and a date with my hubby, what could be better? We don’t get to do it very often.
