Haircut

Christopher started with the haircut, taking grey strands of hair and clipping them off with stainless scissors. For a while, there was no other sound in the studio except the snipping of scissors. Mamie’s eyes caught sight of strands of grey hair falling from her shoulders, one after the other. 

The Feeling

As she kept watching the strands fall one by one, she realized that she felt liberated. As if she is letting go of every bad thing she had ever held on to. She felt free and as the look began to come together, she couldn’t help but smile at the woman in the mirror. For the first time in years, she could meet her eyes.

Makeup

It was time to do Mamie’s makeup now. She was not much of a makeup person anymore but Christopher wanted her to embrace it again. He promised he won’t go overboard. He started with subtle hues of lilac and purples on her eyelids, followed by some mascara on her eyelashes. For lips, he put a shade of pale pink and coated it with clear gloss.

Almost Ready

Mamie was almost ready to reveal her new look to her husband. For the final touch, Christopher filled in her brows and added a hint of blush on her cheeks. Once the makeup and hair were set, it was time for the new outfit and jewelry.

New Outfit

To finish off the look, Mamie changed into the new outfit. It was a grey v-neck top paired with black jeans.  And for jewelry, she wore her silver chain and silver dangling earrings, same as before. Once everything was put together, it was time for the big reveal.

The Reveal

It was time to show Mamie’s husband her new look. As per Mamie’s instructions, he was standing outside the room with his eyes closed. But he was already smiling from ear to ear. Mamie stepped out of the room and asked him to open his eyes. And his reaction was precious!
