Anyone watching?
The people always do seem genuinely happy with their transformations but I always really dislike the hair and clothes styling! Grin
Glad for them though that they do seem to get their confidence back which is what it’s all about.

Yes, some of these extensions you can have for your hair are hundreds of pounds and are quite high maintenance and do not last very long.
Same with the teeth and buying new clothes.
It's expensive to keep it all going.

the80sweregreat · 22/04/2021 21:53

Those boots are awful : hair looks nice though.

northerngal2021 · 22/04/2021 21:54

Why is she in evening wear that couldn't wear anywhere except a night club?

SwedishEdith · 22/04/2021 21:55

How old is she? The dress is like John Lewis recommends for older wives of Tory councillors for a New Year's Eve do at the town hall.

TheChosenTwo · 22/04/2021 21:56

@SwedishEdith I haven’t got to that bit yet, I am now enjoying the anticipation Grin is it a bit Ann widecomb?!

Ha ha. It's just...weird. Very Gina Bacconi.

Ah, thanks.

The second one does look "better", much transformed.

the80sweregreat · 22/04/2021 21:59

I liked this lady's dress. Her hair looks great.
It's only any good if your going clubbing , but she likes it and she does look nice.

PuppyMonkey · 22/04/2021 22:01

I think they both looked great this time - apart from first woman and the obligatory hideous dress.

TheChosenTwo · 22/04/2021 22:01

Well she seemed happy 🤷🏼‍♀️
Her hair is so severe again and she just looks nothing like herself!
Maybe that’s me being me, I mean I think is appreciate being a little bit polished but I’d still want to look and feel like me!
Her kids are adorable, the son’s comments about his mum were so lovely.

TheChosenTwo · 22/04/2021 22:04

Well the second lady I think looks fab! A glamorous look but much softer and flattering overall and everything seems to really suit her. The hair looks great. That wasn’t the same stylist was it?

OP posts:
Rummikub · 22/04/2021 23:52

No they had a different hairdresser for her hair.
She looked great.
But I don’t think she looked 60 to begin with! The public were harsh.

TellingBone · 23/04/2021 00:23

Yes, public were harsh on tonight's two.

Hadn't noticed it was a different hairdresser. What a difference having a reasonable hairstyle for both. These were perhaps the most successful makeovers of the series but both ladies didn't really need that much 'work'.

Silly choice of dress for Alison's lifestyle. And the boots were shite.

Rummikub · 23/04/2021 09:05

The hairdresser was experienced in Afro hair. I think it’s great that they did that.

IrmaFayLear · 23/04/2021 09:35

Why do they always put them in going out gear? Realistically Alison is not going to be able to wear that shimmery dress too often, if ever. Bring back Trinny and Susannah with no nonsense bra advice and warnings about three-quarter length trousers!

the80sweregreat · 23/04/2021 09:43

I liked Trinny and Susanna. They always chose practical clothing. Things you would actually wear to enhance your figure.

cheshirecat777 · 23/04/2021 12:31

Looking forward to watching this on catch up🤣

yes i agree trinny & susannah used to analyse the person's life and then come up with a range of outfit types based on the persons actual life

I think the stylist has shares in a cruise liner as the clothes all look like they are ready to share the captains table.

the80sweregreat · 23/04/2021 12:44

The dresses last night were ok for going out in ( sort of) but totally impractical for anything else. In fact, I thought long dresses are not that popular these days. They might have been in the 70s.
If you walked round Aldi in that sparkly number you would soon feel a bit out of place!

Sandra15 · 23/04/2021 15:35

@Sendmetobarbados

What channel is this news series on please? Have googled but it throws up the old series with Nicky Hambleton Jones...
.... which was tons better. This is rushed and they zoom through everything that has been done to focus on the sob story part. I stopped watching it, as they don't show all the treatment each person has and it's not helpful if anyone wants to actually go for it themselves.
Zzpplant · 23/04/2021 22:06

This weeks was a bit better apart from the outfits again. SwedishEdith you are spot on with the John Lewis observation. Both dresses look like the ones you’d find in their online sale. Allison’s boots were truly heinous. I did like her hair though. It was so good that they actually let a hairdresser with experience of black hair loose on Marcia but I thought her hair looked gorgeous when the conditioner and curl defined had been put through and was hoping he would go for her natural curls. But she did look really good (other than the dress which was a bit unimaginative. ). I’m glad both of them were so happy with their look. I wish they’d ditch that stylist. I don’t think there’s been one thing that I’ve liked so far .

@TheChosenTwo

Forgot this was on, just switched over to see a woman in a bizarre blue dress with a cutout on the chest looking very uncomfortable Confused She seemed so down on herself, it was sad to see.
I hope you rewound to see what the stylist had her in beforehand...it was like two shades of baby shite...a sloppy jumper and a satin long shirt...no wonder the poor woman is down on herself...
TheLODstinkyunderpassAKATits · 23/04/2021 22:49

@TheChosenTwo

Oh god, makeup woman is going in with her one look fits all - the Smokey eye 😂
"..looks great on anyone at any age.."

Except me. Ten rounds with David Haye and I don't mean in the bedroom...

TheLODstinkyunderpassAKATits · 23/04/2021 23:09

Bit disappointed they didn't treat the red patch on Alison's nose, would have been easily done and actually would have made her feel more confident I'm sure (I am red chin queen), because let's face it she won't be wearing make up every day.

I think Marcia would have looked younger with more natural curly hair, her hair looked really overdone in that style, she did look great overall though and seemed to have some spark about her.
