A Grandmother’s Grief Turns to Joy
Teresa, a wife, mother, grandmother, and business owner from rural Minnesota, turned 50 after facing one of the hardest seasons of her life. Just weeks before her birthday, her beloved grandson Preston passed away at only two and a half years old.
Her family had planned a surprise makeover and birthday celebration, and though grief was heavy, they chose to move forward — to cry, to celebrate, and to find joy again. This makeover became more than just a new look — it was a reminder of strength, love, and hope. Watch as Teresa embraces her natural curls, gains a renewed smile, and shares how her family continues to celebrate life while honoring Preston’s memory. The loss of a child or grandchild is devastating.
In effort to bring cheer to her loss and grief, a family pulls together for a MAKEOVERGUY Makeover.
Meet Christopher Hopkins – The Makeover Guy. “The makeover: It absolutely inspires me. Improvement and response. Thrilling. At three years old I was obsessed with the hair of my “Tootie” doll. This miniature doll, packaged in a plastic cameo, had a tiny body and very long hair. It was perfect for little hands to hold and style. I spent hours on that thing, bobby pins everywhere. Later I graduated to my sister’s Barbie dolls. You could do more with clothing for them because they had full figures for which you could create tissue paper and Scotch tape fashions, complete with stickpin earrings.”
Today Christopher is owner of reVamp! salonspa, in Minneapolis. He done makeovers on the “Oprah Winfrey Show” among other media outlets. His first book, “Staging Your Comeback, A Complete Beauty Revival for Women Over 45,” has helped improve the looks and the lives of thousands of women.
