A major change in look is often times referred to as a makeover. Makeovers don't always refer to makeup when the term is used to indicate a change in a person's look. It can also mean a change in clothing, a new haircut, or even plastic surgery in some cases. In fact, a makeover can be anything you wish to change in your appearance (even the smallest of things) because we all need that little bit of self-care at times, and let's be honest, a little boost of confidence can't hurt you.

That is why the Belarusian hair stylist and TV host Yevgeny Zhuk specializes in giving full transformations to those who might need it a little bit more than others. Having opened his own salon in Moscow, Russia, Yevgeny does his best to turn his clients into a more confident version of themselves.

And in case you'd like to see more of the transformations done by the talented Yevgeny, don't worry, you can find parts 1, and 2 by clicking here, and here.

Maybe if she was wearing makeup and jewelries like the second frame, we would see the difference the hairstyle made.

Research has shown that a positive physical appearance is a quick, efficient way to increase self-confidence and also get rid of anxiety for most people. "You feel more relaxed, confident, capable, cooperative, and productive when you look presentable, authentically you, and appropriate for the situation," Says Judith Rasband, a President of Conselle Institute of Image Management.

Judy is a firm believer that your clothing and grooming habits often affect the way we think about ourselves. In her short book called "Power of personal appearance" Judy wrote, "You can’t afford to think negatively about yourself due to some aspect of your appearance. When you appear authentic, attractive, and appropriate, you think more positively about yourself, your situation, and others."

They're all absolutely gorgeous to begin with, just no make up or hair that's all.

"You must be aware of the impact of your appearance as it speaks to you first before it communicates to others. If you want to succeed as an individual in today's extremely complicated and competitive culture. Both how you feel about yourself and how others perceive you are influenced by what you wear and how you appear." States Rasband, the author of the book.

Wait ... the thread is about hair but all these lovely people here have had a professional make over WITH make-up. It's not only "hair". But they do look very lovely tho.

I think having your teeth fixed always makes a change in your appearance and I've no doubt, the after photo here, must have given her so much confidence.

When asked for advice, Judy wrote, "Think in terms of dressing authentically for you as an individual—for your personality, values, attitudes, and interests. Think in terms of dressing appropriately for the group, the occasion, and the purpose at hand. Think in terms of dressing attractively for your physical body. The same advice applies to your grooming."

Before has more character. The red carpet ready look is not for everyone.

Honestly I like the before look better here, that shirt is fantastic and the red tones in her hair compliment her skin.

Sorry to be that gut, but her boobs are fine without enhancing them virtually! Enfuriates me that some people think only a busty bosom is acceptable!

I would totally hang out with the person in the first picture. They removed all of her personality.

Don't get me wrong the after photos do look great. But to me it seems they're taking away a lot of they're personality. Like maybe just change they're hair, put some makeup on but let them express themselves with their own clothes, or let them pick the clothes they like. I never understood why we all have to dress the same, or are encouraged by fashion industry to do so. I've never cared about fashion, I just wear what I think is cute

Also it seems like her while outfit is crochet? The top, the bra, the suspenders. What a vibe 🙌

Again with the professionally shaped eyebrows. Be nice if they used real people in these before and after montages.

I think all persons presented here are beautiful from the start, or at least the sort of uniqueness and interesting facial features I find beautiful in their perfect imperfections. I'm not saying people shouldn't fix their teeth, apply some make-up and do their hairdo to enhance features. But mostly I dislike some of these "after transformation" shots - especially this one here - because, in my opinion and experience with photography and the graphic arts in general, they are just like any other over-enhanced beauty-shots, losing much of the original character of the person. I enjoy wrinkles, crooked teeth and noses, uneven features, all sorts of imperfections.... because that's what makes us human and I find that beautiful precisely because it's not perfect.

They gave her breast implants too? Wow, they do spent a lot of money on these women, teeth, hair, makeup, new boobs. Sheesh!

Maybe I'm wrong, but it also looks like some AI program has also digitally enhanced her measurement.

I hope she still wears that fun shirt in the before pic and lets her hair grow out. Eventually it could be a fun ombre look.

Bad skin vs makeup and lightning. Note: acne is natural, but it's advisable to minimize makeup on bad skin. The lady's pores must be clogged from the amount of makeup needed to conceal her acne. Correct me if I'm wrong (I don't wear makeup so I don't know a lot about it).

Nope. Those curls are precious. Should have been highlighted and not straightened. But if that's what she wanted, then good for her.

What's up with the toothpaste white teeth? A fake front? Photoshop? You can see the lower teeth, they have not improved at all.

Her face shape is 100% different. In original she has a large rounded jaw. In after she has a pointy jaw? So "people look better after, hair, make up, surgery and dental" is more fitting

The hair in the after pic does not look like anything straight out of a hairdressers. It looks like normal everyday hair. I would be confused if not furious if I came out with hair like that.
