Alex the chef says he hadn’t cut his hair in four or five years. Every day he just combed his hair back into a ponytail for work. But after a breakup with his latest girlfriend, he decided he was ready for a change.

Coincidentally, on the same day he was thinking of making a big change, he ran into The Makeover Guy. Also known by his legal name, Christopher Hopkins, the makeover guru noticed that Alex’s lengthy locks needed to go. But the transformation he gave him is unbelievable!

Christopher trimmed up his hair and beard, and when he was done, Alex couldn’t believe the man staring back at him in the mirror was really himself.

Alex says that he immediately felt more confident and the new look gave him a modern, manly haircut perfect for a man his age. By the end of the makeover appointment, he was ready to show off his new look.

He headed to work and his closest friends and coworkers couldn’t believe there eyes. There was no way that the polished man standing before them was really the scruffy looking Alex that they knew.

Check out the video below and be sure to share this amazing transformation with your family and friends.
