Teacher’s Ambush Makeover Makes Her Daughter Shed Tears Of Joy | TODAY

[@SausageMunchingNinja]

amazing makeovers for both but I found the first lady stunning and so sweet!

[@joanhg3956]

The first cut was one of the best makeovers. They worked beautifully with her bangs. Her color is lovely.

[@Lemons19902010]

The teacher looks gorgeous! Watching the daughter cry made me want to cry!

[@MsSoulsurfer1]

I re watched the first part twice, and I teared up both times. Honestly she's so beautiful

[@obiedrier4841]

Best makeover out of all, the First Lady. Adorable

[@OriginalPinkbird]

That teacher is naturally pretty. She has nice bone structure and a good smile. That dated 80's 'do was hiding her looks.

[@l8dykickass418]

Original Pinkbird exactly! She is so beautiful.

[@cozettem8226]

It drives me crazy when people still have their high school hair. Women or men. The parted down the middle and feathered with the mustache in men is crazy too.

[@gillianlandry283]

That teacher was stuck in the 80's with that hairdo!

[@AnneMB955]

What is naturally pretty? What is good bone structure? Who decides?

[@joymosley8997]

Yes she looked beautiful.

[@rhythmictiger]

I was all ready to be like 'feminism, body shaming rah rah rah' but the first lady looked nice, genuinely happy and was probably so busy with her life and family that she hadn't had time to think about herself. This probably had a really positive effect on her, boosted her confidence

[@jshepard152]

Claire Yeah, thanks for not doing that.

[@hd-xc2lz]

Body shaming why?

[@MJSinger10]

The first woman ended up being much more beautiful than I thought! WOW!

[@TT-rz5td]

She looks 2 decades younger.

[@xart23x]

I knew she was beautiful before. Daughter, too. But, hair really brought it out more.

[@loveyoutube2177]

Awww. That teacher is adorable before and definitely after. Sweet as pie.

[@DavidaGene]

her daughter is so pretty

[@cynthia8111]

i was thinking the same!

[@ChanelCoco-pk7mp]

Her daughter looks like Margot Robbie a tiny bit x very beautiful x

[@QW545-u6b]

Her eyes are beautiful

[@Alicia-hd2jx]

Davida Gene I thought she kind of looked like Marie Ziegler especially at 3:29

[@mstiegra]

WOW! The first lady kind of looks like Gina Davis! The second lady looks a lot younger after her make over! Great job.

[@memekodd]

She does look a little better. Now she tours all day in town with seconds of fame.

[@foodylfstyl]

love the way the daughter cries and hugs her mom ... and that tissue paper box comes from the ceiling was hilarious

[@charleszegzdryn1963]

The first woman, (the teacher) looks beautiful. It's one of the best makeovers I've seen on this show. 👍

[@sybaritesphynx8057]

OMG the first woman literally has early90s/late80s hair style!!

[@katie4623]

I literally cannot believe people still have hairstyles like her in this day and age.

[@Lily_of_the_Forest]

I miss that style. :(

[@Theunspoiledprincess]

I actually see a lot of women still sporting this look. I just don't get it.

[@searose777]

+K Lu So? If it looks good on them then why not?

[@amylayne2973]

Gemini this was not staged at all. Summer Bach is from my hometown and a very sweat lady and great mom. Her daughter plays basketball and a lot of other activities and her mom has always looked and dressed that way.

[@ramelmil8552]

Best one I've seen yet! I gasped! Wow! And she was so happy and shocked about her beauty!

[@livingthelife9288]

Dang, the first lady really needed a makeover from the 80's. Welcome to the 21st century. She looks beautiful. Second lady is very elegant with the new haircut. Beautiful. Both took years off

[@lizardas]

Louis' plastic surgeon should be jailed.

[@BelieverinChrist4ever]

Elizabeth M lol so random 😂😂

[@meganrobinson1179]

So true

[@toxicgummybear9101]

Elizabeth M yoo I was thinking the same thing 😂😂💀💀

[@nowvoyagerNE]

google his image...you will see that it is an improvement.

[@ReneeDeborah]

The look is very Twilight Zone.

[@TinaMoranxo]

The first one looks amazing! The hair is so beautiful!

[@michillene]

Both makeovers are beautiful...I cannot believe the second one...she looks so pretty..it's such a humungous change..It's unbelievable what makeovers can do for someone...they completely change a person's looks..

[@sariadewiyanti4993]

she seems like to have a warm personality..she defenitely deserved it..,,

[@andreabrantley6951]

; The first lady's makeover is one of my favorites from the Today Show! ~ It was a real wow moment...😳🙂👍🏼

[@2snowgirl520]

That husband!!! He needed the makeover, more than her!

[@fudgi84]

they should have given the husband a makeover as well...

[@merylstreep4981]

hahah that's what I thought

[@CupcakeExplosion]

the wife may have helped to get the ball rolling for him. only time can tell.

[@michelleduquette800]

fudgi Yeah, I know , poor guy looks like one of the Smith Brothers!! He's probably a really great guy, though!!🙂

[@manichairdo6346]

Oh, the little girl who hugs the first lady has an amazing head of hair and hairstyle. Wow.

[@christinemiller5395]

Husband Dave needs a new make over too!

[@edubsmama]

Beautiful ladies! They look great!

[@chevon1920]

I love the second lady's bob. Gorgeous, I didn't know what they were gonna do since it was so thin before but it looks great.

[@emilysilas8867]

Yes! It's beautiful. Worked so well

[@VintageRose75]

chevon1920 I wondered the same thing, too.

[@hd-xc2lz]

It was actually the more impressive makeover, it would seem she possibly suffered from a scalp health condition.

[@bobkh4404]

the teacher is really beautiful u can tell. her daughter us gorgeous too. model face

[@ohaitherehello1]

Seriously. I haven't seen bangs like that (her "before" bangs) since at least 1993. Jesus.

[@OriginalPinkbird]

ohaitherehello1 oh yeah... the 80's clung to life here in NY well into the 90's

[@izzimyz245]

I have seen those bangs 1 time on a middle school teacher and 1 time on the Duggar show.I have only 1 word for those bangs:Yikes :[

[@OriginalPinkbird]

Izzi Myz 😆

[@ashjade86]

My mom used to sport poof bangs like no one's business, all the way into the 2000's lol. I finally talked her into bringing it "down" a notch.

[@hadihatab3126]

They remind me of the hairstyle Tonya Harding in the early 90s.

I love this show! They have transformed so many, many people and literally changed lives.

[@LovingAtlanta]

OMG She looks like actress Lisa Whelchel who played the character Blair Warner on the show Facts Of Life

[@TT-rz5td]

I thought the same!

[@PeaceFan1]

Now that Husband needs a Makeover!!! LOL

[@sherlocklucas8294]

Sick tissue box coming from above

[@meesamagill1193]

yeah the tissues appearing from above was awesome

[@sherlocklucas8294]

I want someone to stand over me whenever I'm ill

[@strawbryblond1]

They used to do that on Regis and Kathie Lee

[@CupcakeExplosion]

what a good hearted daughter.

[@laurencurry4878]

The tissues just pop out of nowhere it's hilarious 😂

[@shimrsparklshine]

The first woman needed it most because her hair looked straight out of the 80's.

[@FDchick]

She looks amazing!

[@dianebalch5369]

It helps when you're beautiful to begin with...

[@LisaSpangenberg]

I was wondering what they were going to do with the first lady's hair and wow! It looks amazing!

[@nicoleshewood2865]

What a beautiful woman! And family

[@TheChatterRoom1]

Summers daughter kinda looks like maddie Ziegler

[@meganrobinson1179]

True,she really does!

[@gigiblair7396]

She does!

[@chrismartin2123]

Iooks just like her mom i thought

[@agnieszkavanheirreweghe5837]

why do they always stile curls? no one wants a hairstyle that doesnt suit their natural hair. after a week she will already stop styling it and it will look a mess. they should give stiles that embraces what they already have instead of changing it.....CURLS ARE BEAUTIFUL

[@danielle8877]

style

[@steflondon88]

its a drastic change.

[@shimrsparklshine]

STYLE. Pay attention in school, kid.

[@agnieszkavanheirreweghe5837]

+shimrsparklshine if we can have a conversation in my language call me ;) ps: someone above, already corrected me, so "thanks"

[@caramelunicorn8023]

agnieszka van heirreweghe i agree its bad for you in the long term.

[@heatherrogers3892]

Louis always picks the same hair color!!!! How about a brown with highlights or ombre or blonde. It's always ashy dark blonde. So boring!!

[@rebeccamd7903]

Heather Rogers hehehehe....oh he’d never be able to do that to me! I used to hair model for some of the best in the world & nobody could get rid of my reds. That’s why I dye it black now. 😜

[@hd-xc2lz]

@@rebeccamd7903 Rebecca wants us all to know she was once a model.

[@rebeccamd7903]

h d yeah because that’s all I talked about. 👌😜👍

[@hd-xc2lz]

@@rebeccamd7903 No, but it seemed the point. We've all read plenty of YT comments in which a person wants to inform us that their attractiveness or athleticism is accredited but it's cloaked in humble pie or remarks barely germane to topic. So be alert in the future. And honestly, may be best to be direct about it- "From a divinely pulchritudinous person's perspective, I would say on this matter that..." Some might hate you, but what's their comeback?

[@juleye6248]

"alright~" 😂😂😂😂 boyyyy was he whipped

[@BlossomTheGuilty]

Summer looks beautiful :)

[@allybrown2165]

Summer looks like Geena Davis! Awesome update!

[@r_aguilar68]

Summer looks like Geena Davis after the makeover.

[@sheryljones5207]

They both looked so nice.

[@donnalm23]

Looks like Geena Davis, amazing❤️

[@MamaEEandW]

She looks like a teacher now. Very nice. :)

[@alexrodgers9247]

Amazing how much the daughter looks like the Mom on the first clip!

[@divalicious4888]

Literally after the makeover she looked just like Blair from the facts of life....

[@wilmaknickersfit]

Fantastic job!

[@GOTKiDZ]

Holy Cow! She looks like a Deryl Hanna Version! Love It!

[@kellypatterson5242]

she looks 20 years younger. sooooooo cute

[@thehappycamper6610]

I love the hair on the second lady!

[@ChanelCoco-pk7mp]

Aww this was so beautiful x

[@janetjimg]

Summer looks like she would be that teacher who the children adore. She looks so beautiful! Stacia looks amazing also. Now let's give Stacia's sweet husband, David, a makeover! :)

[@karena5230]

I'm not convinced the husband liked the makeover. Maybe a little too glamorous for him. Seems like they're simple folks.

[@TT-rz5td]

Prob worried she'd get lots of admirers 🙂

[@yellowpsychopath]

That first lady's bangs literally grew an inch...

[@spiritualgiant9835]

The teacher was beautiful before and even more beautiful after.

[@Honeycomblife]

She went from weird al Yankovic to aunt becky!

[@chopiiin]

eiiiiin her daughter is so cuuute

[@cindyoconnell2471]

Wow, huge differences for the better! They look great!

[@stefanackermann350]

I loved the first lady’s hair before the makeover. It was so retro.

[@sag686]

She is beautiful.

[@mariamusoga]

they literally give all the women the same ashy blonde hair color?

[@mariamusoga]

***** You dont find it problematic that they're giving all their women the same look?

[@jennymayer7277]

The most boring hair color they could give them. Remember, this IS the 2000's though.

[@catattack334]

To be fair it looked natural and it complimented her skin tone. If your gonna go blond then in my opinion that's a good shade to do. Much better then peroxide blonde.

[@kayceewhite]

Maria P I feel like Luis has only two settings, the one you mentioned, and honey blonde Carmel with highlights. Basically he either does ashy beige or warm beige 😂😂😂😂

[@hd-xc2lz]

And each was a big improvement, can we be honest about that? His best work here was the second woman, she had extremely thin hair, maybe the result of a health issue, and somehow he managed to provide her hair some body, probably in part through color adjustment.

[@maggienewton7834]

She looks stunning

[@silverbells4732]

they both looked soo good.....

[@Timetraveler1111MN]

She is very pretty before and after but the color is so flattering and young.

[@fullylush]

Lady #1 looked like Gena Davis

[@meempatwary1619]

1st lady!!! She is just like a 18 years old girlll👍🏼

[@MoreWaveLessParticle]

Wow!

[@DigitalBeautyVault]

The first lady is so stunning!!! She looks like brooke sheild!

[@ramangrewal7031]

Wow amazing

[@rebeccagerber6370]

Love the tissues being hoistered up and down 😂

[@momfromnj911]

First one looks gorgeous … wowww … great makeover

[@god563616]

First makeover ABSOLUTELY STUNNING

[@knelson3484]

WOW! 👍 👍

[@miajones2993]

Why did I cry of the first woman's reaction 😂

[@alleaufihreposition]

The first woman looks 15 years younger now !!!

[@shivanisingh-pb7ic]

GORGEOUS.... so pretty color and form.

[@arpeemac]

her "before" looked like a 25-year-old michael bolton. LOL

[@suzannejohnson7447]

She is beautiful

[@missionimpossible4869]

Amazing!

[@johnstruewing1164]

That is a remarkable change

[@zoelynch9403]

wow she looks incredible

[@Honeycomblife]

wow the first lady had a dramatic makeover,two thumbs up she kinda reminds me of the woman that played Aunt Becky in FULL HOUSE

[@anniefannycharles9951]

Beautiful

[@yvonneost12]

I love the lady sat next to him ? her shoes LOVE UM !!!

[@barbaracook7142]

First lady looks Sooo beautiful❤️

[@PacificNWGrl]

Woah she looks stunning!!

[@chevon1920]

Why did the First Lady wear her hair like. That's someone she would have to intentionally do. Her bangs wouldn't just do that on their own, I'm so confused, and she's actually really, really pretty.

[@explorewithmino1689]

the first one was 🔥🔥

[@pkmcnett5649]

Summer is gorgeous!

[@EB-wl9st]

They both look gorgeous

[@julias1756]

Why do they dye every girls hair blonde with a little bit of brown??

[@김장미-j2z]

it's a technique hair stylists use to blend the gray hairs with the (typically brown) hair to make it look natural. they don't do any outrageous colors so they don't have to keep going back to a salon.

[@greenleavesofsummer9673]

This lady reminds me of GINA DAVIS, actress , when she was younger like this. I haven’t seen Gina in decades

[@daisygarcia5669]

Talk about being prepared... luring down tissues lol

[@3MEGALOVE]

Excellent
