This is what Brittany had to write regarding Team 1′s challenge:

So with our Makeover challenge model we choose to go with a vintage look. This was a look that really inspired Tara and Brittany. To achieve this style we went though and did a heavy highlighting over a span of two appointments. The tones we were going for were soft and creamy blondes. To enhance Denise’s hair and give it fullness and length we put in some amazing extensions. The next step was to blend Denise’s hair with the extensions by adding some gorgeous layering. The final stage of this amazing journey was the photo shoot where we had so much fun. To prep Denise’s hair for the shoot we put her hair in glamorous curls and created the “S” shape in front of her face, and to finish some beautiful makeup. This vintage glam look is definitely Brittany and Tara’s favorite style. With wine colored lips, the final look of our makeover was very exotic and fun.

This is what Veruska had to write regarding Team 2′s challenge:

This is our lovely model Rachael O Neill . I have to say that Heather and I enjoyed working on her..She’s a lot of fun .

So to first start off when it came to Rachael, transformation wasn’t the word that came to mind , it was more like enhance . Enhance the natural beauty that is Rachael. Yet at the same time, it would be fun to take a daring approach to her .

First we started off by cutting several inches off .wasn’t to sure where we were going Togo  with it , but her awesome bone structure and jawline it would nt do her justice not showing that off . Finished it off by giving her a heavy Bang to bring out those gorgeous eyes of hers .

When it came to her color I definitely didn’t want to do anything cliche on her like the lighter double processed procedures . Where to go where to go ? Heather and I have been collaborating ideas about turning her into a red head , but in the end with her haircut being dramatic , we decided on richening her natural gorgeous dark hair with an array of beautiful red and auburn shades to . I approached this technique with using foils and  different color creations with various deep red shades . Finished off by using a hi shine all over gloss revealing in the end deep jeweled  luxurious tones throughout her hair .

When it came to products Rachael’s hair is fine textured but has lots of it . Sounds familiar?
The two aspects of styling that we wanted to focus on Rachael’s hair were volume and texture . Texture is needed to support the volume we created .
The following products are as follows
Kevin Murphy Bodybuilder mousse and Kevin Murphy Anti Gravity spray were used to create mass volume while Kevin Murphy Hair Resort spray went in created texture to support the volume that is in the hair . The result was movement and versatility .

We also wanted a street chic look for her , and wanted to see the fun that we could have combining edge to her outfit without taking away the femininity that she so naturally exudes

The makeup itself was amazing, again going back to enhancing and bringing out Rachael’s gorgeous features .

Standing back looking at the end result . We thought to ourselves …
Enhancement has taken a backseat .
Not only did transformation take place but the word that came to mind was luminous ….
Thank you Rachael for being our muse .

How do you feel about your hair right now?
Excited!
What is your favorite era?
I would love to spend a day in the 20’s.
What is your best or worst hair memory?
Worst: dying my own hair by using a box color.
Why do you love getting your hair done?
It makes me feel more beautiful, and when my hair is more beautiful, I am happy.
I had consultations from five different colorists in Beverly Hills, Laguna, and Newport Beach and decided to choose Meleesa because she made me feel confident.  She had the knowledge and asked for a commitment from me to be patient and have no expectations the first time.  So, we shall see- I’m in the chair now.
Thank you God for Meleesa and her team…bless her hands and products as she works on me, to create a beautiful masterpiece, Amen!

Meleesa’s version of meeting with Jenny
Jenny came to see me after finding us online and checking out our tutorials.  She was super nervous after driving to top notch salons in Beverly Hills and having stylists tell her that what she wanted was impossible.  She felt hopeless and especially concerned as she is getting married on March 10, 2012.
What Jenny wanted was possibility.  After assessing her hair, I really took into consideration her hair color and the image she brought with her.  The top priority was to begin with the color process.  This process consisted of balyage, or hand painted highlights in order to enhance the color dimension.  Being by the beach, I love to create the sun-kissed look.  I also used Inoa color which I love because of the intense shine it leaves on the hair, giving hair deep dimension and creating that pop!
After all the mache papers had been applied, Jenny looked like she had wings!  My assistant Bree then shampooed Jenny with Absolute Repair and gave her a power dose treatment to condition and repair at the same time.  Finally, a crème beige gloss was applied, making her color look just so yummy!
Before I let Jenny see her new hair (the suspense was killing her!),  I added some bangs so she could wear them side swept or part them in the middle.  I completed the process with a fabulous blow dry typical of Meleesa the Salon.
Jenny was thrilled with her new look – she was glowing and even more gorgeous due to her being so in love.  She loved her first visit to our downtown Huntington beach hair salon – a space for creation, love and constant reminder that life is just grand!
